Amplifier Connections to the Sound Equalizer

Make sure that the Sound Equalizer, amplifier(s) and preamplifier/processor are

powered off before continuing.

Make the necessary audio connections between the ANALOG OUTPUT channels

of the Sound Equalizer and the inputs of the amplifier.

The Sound Equalizer has eight input and output channels that can be assigned in

any way you choose. To simplify keeping track of the assignments, Audyssey

recommends the standard SMPTE channel layout:

1: L 3: C 5: LS 7: LBack

2: R 4: Sub 6: RS 8: RBack

If installing multiple systems for different zones, the necessary connections should

be made to all amplifiers and speakers for each zone at this time. When you begin

using the MultEQ Pro application, you will be asked to select which channels are

assigned to the assignable inputs and outputs of the Sound Equalizer (see Zone

Configuration, page 21).

Each zone is calibrated separately using the MultEQ Pro application (see Select a

Zone, page 22)

Connecting Installer Kit Components

See connection diagram on next page.

A Connect one of the mini-XLR cables to the microphone.

B Place the microphone stand upright and extend the boom arm. Attach the

microphone holder to the end of the boom arm. Insert the microphone in a

vertical position in the holder so that it is pointed to the ceiling.

C Connect the mini-XLR cable from the microphone to the microphone MIC

IN input on the preamplifier.

Mini-XLR cables

The Installer Kit contains

two mini-XLR cables. One

mini-XLR cable is used to

connect the microphone

preamplifier to the Sound

Equalizer and the other is

used to connect the mic

preamp to the Sound

Equalizer.

The length of cable

needed depends on the

size of the customer’s

room and/or the number

of zones being installed.

Additional mini-XLR

cables may be purchased

separately for a longer-

length connection

(See Zone Configuration,

page 21).
