Example-2: Factory Amp + AUX (6-in/6-out)
Notes:
Ÿ
For systems with a main speaker level source that will serve as the master volume control, and an auxiliary source is
connected to the link8, select system Type-2 at the multi-function remote. This provides AUX volume control as well as
independent CH7/8 level adjustment for both main and AUX sources.
Ÿ
In this factory amplified system example, a front 2-way signal is summed for a full-range output to an aftermarket
component set, while the rear full-range signal is passed through for aftermarket coaxials. To preserve factory fader
functionality while providing sub output with remote level control, the front mid/woofer input signal from CH3/4 can
be connected to CH7/8’s input with jumper wires as shown. Although not a full-range signal, it contains a useable low
frequency range and will be crossed over at the amp anyway, so selecting CH5+7/CH6+8 will then provide Never-Zero
summed front+rear output for a subwoofer connected to CH7/8. If it is unlikely the factory fader will be adjusted after
installation, CH7/8’s input select can instead be set copy CH5/6’s rear signal internally without jumpers. Or if a factory
subwoofer’s signal is available, connect it to CH7/8 and select direct input.

Note:
For stand-alone systems where only the AUX input is used, select system Type-3 at the multi-function remote.
This disables the remote’s source select function and sets knob priority to master volume control for AUX input.
Portable devices such as smartphones or MP3 players typically have an output voltage of 1Vrms or less, so it is
recommended to maximize the device’s unclipped output level and use the remote for the system’s master volume.
