Delta Series Audio Controllers
Overview - Delta Series Audio Controllers
The Delta Series Audio Controller is an affordable, feature-rich multi-zone audio
distribution system that allows control and distribution of audio from 4 sources
and to 4 or 6 zones.
• The DAS-D0404 (FG1100-01) controls of up 4 sources and distributes
audio to 4 rooms/zones.
• The DAS-D0406 (FG1100-02) controls of up 4 sources and distributes
audio to 6 rooms/zones.
• Delta Series Audio Controllers are available in 120V (DAS-D0404 &
DAS-D0406), or 240V versions (DAS-DI0404 & DAS-DI0406).
FIG. 1 indicates the front and rear panel components on the Delta Controller.
Connect the Source Units to Delta
1. Plug RCA audio cables from each source device into the labeled RCA
jacks at the back of the Delta controller. Ensure that right and left are
connected correctly.
2. Then connect the IR emitter leads for each audio source into the
appropriate connector on the back of the Delta controller and run the
optical end of the emitter lead to the source device’s IR receiver window.
3. Attach the emitter by peeling and sticking the supplied adhesive patch on
the emitter. If an on-board tuner is pre-installed into Delta, you must also
connect AM and FM antennas as shown in FIG. 2.
Source Inputs (up to 4)
RCA connections for 2-channel audio input from up to 4 external sources (unless
an AM/FM tuner board is present, which internally takes up the Source #1
location - then it’s 3 additional sources). FIG. 2 shows an example of a DVD
player, CD player, and iPod docking device all connected to Delta. The fourth
source is the internal AM/FM tuner.

Delta Series Product Specifications
Models Available: • DAS-D(I)0404 4 Source, 4 Zone Controller
• DAS-D(I)0406 4 Source, 6 Zone Controller
Stereo Output: 25 Watts/CH stereo (20Hz to 20Khz @ .1% THD)
Power: 287W max (Actual average usage = 120W)
Front Panel Components:
• Navigation Array Buttons Allow for front panel programming, selection of
sources, and tuning AM/FM radio stations (when
Delta is fitted with the optional tuner board). The
same array appears on the Matrix KP-4e
navigational keypad.
• IR Receiver For the IR receiver. This is where you must aim the
remotes from your audio source components so the
Delta can learn and emulate those commands.
• LCD Display Screen Displays information necessary during the
programming steps and afterward is the display to
indicate information about the source input and zone
activity.
Rear Panel Components:
• Power Switch & Receptacle The master power switch will remain in the ON
position normally.
• AM/FM Antenna Inputs Connections for the AM and FM Antennas.
• I/R Outputs (4) Four Infrared 3.5mm Emitter Output Jacks.
Note: Be sure to connect the emitter to the same
numbered port as the corresponding source input.
• Zone Outputs (up to 6) Connections for zone outputs that connect to the
keypads.
