Set-up and System Configuration

Low-Z (8, 4 or 2 Ohm) Output Operation

Typical input and output wiring, along with Audio Architect

software settings are shown in Figure 12.

INPUTS: Connect the input with wiring in place for each

channel. If the same signal is to drive both outputs of a

channel pair (“mono”), the input signal can be sent to

adjacent amplifier channels. If using the BLU Link input, it

is important to understand that BLU Link is a digital audio

bus and cannot be routed through a network switch or

router. To increase fault protection, use both the input and

output BLU Link wiring connection. For BLU Link routing,

refer to page 25.

OUTPUTS: Maintain proper polarity (+/–) on output

connectors. Connect the Channel 1 speaker’s positive (+)

lead to amplifier Channel 1 positive terminal;

repeat for negative (–). Repeat Channel 2 wiring as for

Channel 1, and for any subsequent channel pairs on

multichannel models. Refer to Page 8

for output connector terminal assignments.

Always route the input and output wires in separate bundles.
