Two- and Three-Channel AirPlay MP Components
Table 3-3 and Table 3-4 list the standard and optional components for
two- and three-channel AirPlay MP systems. The tables brießy
describe each piece of hardware and list the chapters where
information on connecting the components is provided.
Table 3-3 lists the components required to set up individual channels.
A system must include one control channel; it also has two or three
playback channels or a record channel with one or two playback
channels.
Record and playback channels have exactly the same components, but
differ from the control channel. Therefore, each component is marked
to show whether it is part of the control channel, a record or playback
channel, or all channels.
Table 3-4 lists the components used to link the channels.
