VAIL AMP INSTALLATION

1. Prior to actual installation of the VAIL Amp, it is necessary to run speaker cable to

the amplier location.

2. Use the provided cut-out template to align and cut opening. If you are not sure

of potential obstruction behind the mounting area, start by cutting a small

penciled mounting hole. Cutting a small hole at an angle rst will make drywall

repair much easier if necessary.

3. Once conrmed that there is no obstruction behind the mounting area, nish

cutting the hole at a 90 degree angle.

4. Connect the speaker cables to the speaker output phoenix connector while

ensuring polarity with the speakers, + to + and – to – and tighten with small at

head screw driver. Then plug to the back of the VAIL Amp.

5. Connect the CAT-5 cable and 16 AWG power cable to the back of VAIL Amp and

feed through the wall opening to Wall Plate location.

6. Insert VAIL Amp into wall opening with power plug and 3.5mm plugs for Echo

Dot on the top of the amplier and tighten the two mounting screws on the

front of the amplier.

Note: Do not overtightened mounting screws. This may damage the amplier,

wall surface, or both.

small hole at an angle rst will make drywall repair

much easier if necessary.

3. Once conrmed that there is no obstruction

behind the mounting area, nish cutting the hole

at a 90 degree angle.

4. Feed CAT-5 cable and 16 AWG power cable

through hole and connect to the back of the wall

plate.

5. Use provided color matched screws to secure wall

plate to surface or low voltage single gang box or

bracket.

Note: Do not forcibly pull on the power plug or 3.5mm cables as this will damage the VAIL

Amp.

3. Turn ON VAIL Amp to either 4-Ohm or 8-Ohm setting depending on impedance

requirements.

4. Insert Echo Dot at a slight angle with connectors on top in rst, then gently push on the

bottom to fully mount Echo Dot.

5. Make sure Echo Dot buttons are level to the wall or surface.

6. You may need to adjust the two VAIL Amp mounting screws to ensure that the VAIL Amp is

also level.

7. Clip on the trim plate with the four clip points located on the top, bottom, left, and right side

of the VAIL Amp.

Note: Do not over-press the clip points. This may damage the amplier, wall surface, or both.

VAIL Plug Power Supply (PPS) – When replacing in-wall volume controllers with the VAIL

Amp, we recommend the PPS to convert speaker cable from the amplier into injected

power cables.
