pourraient endommager l'amplificateur. Débranchez le cordon de secteur avant
d'établir des rapports.
WARNUNG! Anschließenlautsprecherdrähte oder eingegebene Kabel,
während der Verstärker 4-Zone angetrieben wird, können Schlag verursachen
und konnten den Verstärker beschädigen. Trennen Sie das
Netzanschlusskabel, bevor Sie Beziehungen herstellen.
CAUTION! Do not bridge outputs. The outputs on the C4-8AMP1-B
cannot be bridged. Do not connect black terminals together or to
ground. The black terminals are not at ground potential; connecting
them together or to ground can damage the amplifier.
CAUTION! Ne jetez pas un pont sur les sorties. Les sorties sur le C4-
8AMP1-B ne peuvent pas pont. Ne mettez pas les bornes noires
ensemble ou à la terre. Les bornes noires ne sont pas au potentiel au

1. Connect up to four audio source devices (such as a controller, tuners, or CD or
tape players) to the audio input jacks.
Note: Inputs 1 and 3 can be set up for analog or digital sources.
2. Connect speakers to the audio output jacks. Tighten the binding posts to
ensure a good electrical connection to the speaker wires (even if you are using
banana plugs).
3. Use a standard 10/100 Base T Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet port on
the amplifier to your network.
4. Connect the power cord provided to the back of the amplifier and to the power
outlet. Once the power cord is connected, the amplifier should power up.
Set Up Logical Connections
You must configure the 4-Zone Amplifier in the Composer project in order to
control, navigate, and use the amplifier as designed.
Create logical connections in Composer. For instructions, refer to the Control4
Composer Pro User Guide.
Set Network Settings
The 4-Zone Amplifier, by default, uses DHCP to obtain a network IP address.
If the local area network does not support DHCP, you can configure the switch to
use a Static IP address instead:
1. Press Config.
2. Using the Select Dial, scroll down to Network and press the Select Dial to view
the Network menu.
3. Press the Select Dial to edit your setting. Rotate the dial to choose Static IP.
4. Press OK (or press the Select Dial).
