If the VI1x6 is
not
located next to
the stereo, run a
single fire rated
four-conductor (or
two two-
conductor) 14-18-
gauge speaker wire
from the stereo to
the VI1x6.
Connection to
Stereo Equipment:
Remove the VI1x6
four-position
speaker
connectors. The
stereo amplifier or receiver outputs (left and right) are connected to the VI1x6
connector labeled “INPUT”. Be very careful to observe the correct polarity. The
VI1x6 uses independent floating grounds so bridged amplifiers can be used safely.
Connection to Speakers:
Remove the remaining VI1x6 four-position speaker
connectors. Connect the speakers or volume control inputs to any of the six
connectors labeled “ROOM” again strictly observing polarity. Check out or web site
www.knollsystems.com for information on series and parallel speaker wiring.
Operation:
Except for individual volume control adjustments, the Knöll VI1x6 is
completely automatic and does not need any user adjustments after installation.
The VI1x6m can turn rooms of speakers on and off and set individual volumes as
desired in any combination.
