MDS-PCK
6x12 Patch Cord Kit
The MDS-PCK 6x12 Patch Cord Kit includes six stereo audio breakout cables and six dual-input IR emitters.
The kit allows connection of six audio sources to two MDS-6A amplifiers. The two MDS-6A amplifiers can create
up to 12 independent speaker zones that distribute audio from the six sources. The six dual-input IR emitters
route IR remote control signals to each of the six audio source components.
✦ NOTE: The whole-house-music and system on/off commands issued from a speaker zone control keypad will
only effect the MDS-6A unit that the keypad is connected to.
INSTALLATION (See Figure)
1. Connect the “piggy back” black and red plugs on each audio breakout cable to the left and right source
input jacks on MDS-6A Unit #1. Then connect the male black and red plugs for each cable to the same
zone number left and right source input jacks on MDS-6A Unit #2.
2. Connect each source component’s left and right audio output to the “piggy back” jacks of the desired zone
number on the MDS-6A Unit #1 left and right audio source inputs.
3. Connect the two plugs on each dual-input IR emitter to the same zone number IR emitter output jacks on
both MDS-6A units. Affix the IR emitter over the IR sensor on each audio source component.
