Introduction Thank you for choosing the Hi-FiTM 2 4x4 audio distribution system. Hi-Fi 2 4x4 is an affordable high fidelity Central Controller Distributed Audio System that powers speakers through digital amplification. This installation guide is intended as an aid to installing the Hi-Fi 2 4x4 (Four Zone, Four Source Kit). The installer should also have thoroughly reviewed and understood the Hi-Fi 2 4x4 User’s Guide which has important information regarding operation and configuration of the system.
6 5 7 9 10 12 5. Local Audio Inputs These jacks are where local line-level audio inputs are connected. 6. Variable Output for Zone 1 This is a variable audio output used for attaching additional amplification to Zone 1. 7. Page Input When this input is triggered, all audio zones are turned on at their preset paging volume (or muted) and switched to Source 4. 8. “System On” Output This output is energized when any audio zones are turned on.
Installation The Hi-FiTM 2 4x4 Main Assembly houses the Hi-Fi 2 4x4 processor, power supply, and amplifiers. It is also the termination point for all components and connections. The Hi-Fi 2 4x4 Main Assemble can be installed directly into a Leviton Structured Media Center wiring enclosure at half-width. The Hi-Fi 2 4x4 Main Assembly should be mounted in a location that is protected from high humidity levels and temperature extremes. An AC power outlet should be located within 5 feet.
Setting the Frequency of the IR Output TOP 38kHz 56kHz When using the RIM to send IR data to source equipment, there are two different IR carrier frequencies at which the RIM can transmit the IR signal. The default setting of 38 kHz is used for most audio sources. However, most cable and satellite converter boxes operate at a higher IR carrier frequency closer to 56 kHz. Each RIM has a switch that allows you to change the frequency of the IR output when using such devices.
Installing Volume-Source Control (VSC) Keypads The audio sources can be selected and controlled by any Volume-Source Control (VSC). Additionally, each VSC includes an IR receiver that allows you to remotely control the Hi-FiTM 2 4x4 system and/or audio sources from any audio zone in the house. Volume-Source Control (VSC) Keypads connect directly to the Hi-Fi 2 4x4 Main Assembly using Cat 5, unshielded, twisted pair (UTP) for communications. Each end of the wire is terminated with an RJ45 connector.
3. Remove the rubber keypad. 4. Insert the new rubber keypad. Align the latches of the new insert to the openings on the VSC and gently snap into place. 5. Attach the new faceplate. Serial Control TO SERIAL PORT ON CONTROLLER Hi-FiTM 2 4x4 can be remotely controlled through an LEVITON controller or by a device with a serial interface.
Ethernet Control The Hi-FiTM 2 4x4 is equipped with an Ethernet port which makes it network accessible. When connected to the local network, the Hi-Fi 2 4x4 can be completely controlled and configured by other compatible IP devices on the network. Furthermore, when used in conjunction with a LEVITON Dock (Part Number 96A00) or other compatible audio source, the Hi-Fi 2 VSC can display metadata (album, artist, and track) from the source and is able to control the source using transport control commands.
Speaker Wiring When running the cables for speakers, use 16-gauge two-conductor or four-conductor (four-conductor stranded is recommended for neater installation) speaker wire. Speaker cable is homerun from the speaker location to the location of the Hi-FiTM 2 4x4 Main Assembly. The Hi-Fi 2 4x4 system is designed to work with one pair of 8-ohm speakers per audio zone.
Variable Output Zone 1 is equipped with a pre-amp variable output for use with an optional power amplifier that allows you to deliver more power to the zone speakers. This is ideal for outdoor areas or a large living room where more power and/or additional speakers are desirable. To connect Zone 1 to an optional power amplifier using a stereo patch cable: 1) Connect the power amplifier to the Hi-FiTM 2 4x4 Main Assembly by inserting a 3.5mm stereo connector into the 3.
Powering the HI-FITM 2 4x4 System The supplied Power Supply (Part Number: 95A06-1) powers the entire system including the Hi-Fi 2 4x4 processor, zone amplifiers, Remote Input Modules, and Volume-Source Control keypads. 1) Insert the connector for the Power Supply into the Power jack (under the Standby LED Indicator) on the Hi-Fi 2 4x4 Main Assembly. 2) Plug the power cord from the Power Supply into an electrical outlet. The Standby LED Indicator will illuminate and Hi-Fi 2 4x4 system will start.
