For Your Information...
Before You Install and Set Up a 4-Zone (C4-AMP104) or 8-Zone (C4-AMP108) Power
Amplifier...
General Information
1 Ensure that your customer is using OS 2.5.2 or later.
2 Ensure that a controller is installed and configured in the project.
3 Ensure that your home network wiring is in place before starting your system setup.
Setup Tips
1 To reduce the risk of fire, do not install this device in a cabinet that is smaller than 20" (50.8 cm) wide x 20"
(50.8cm) deep x 12" (30.5 cm) high. If you do, the device may overheat.
2 Do not expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing. Do not place objects filled with liquids near the apparatus.
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
3 To prevent damage, maintain adequate ventilation space above and below the amplifier. Space of ½U on top
and bottom is adequate. The rack mount ears provide the necessary ½U ventilation space. Do not place other
components on top of the amplifier. Doing so will block ventilation openings.
4 Connecting speaker wires or input cables while the amplifier is powered may cause electrical shock and could
damage the amplifier. Unplug the power cord before making connections.
5 Check the polarity of the speakers and wires before connecting to the amplifier.
6 Zone stereo selectors—While ST is selected, inputs and outputs process L and R channels separately. While
BRIDGE is selected, the zone amplifies only the L channel (R channel is disabled).
7 Zone source selectors—With LINE selected, the source for the zone is the source connected to the zone’s LINE
INPUT jacks. With GLOBAL selected, the source for the zone is the GLOBAL LINE INPUT source.
8 In Bridge mode, the Rchannel is disabled. This eectively doubles the power output of the remaining L channel,
but at the cost of outputting only a mono signal. To set up a stereo signal while using Bridge mode, you will need
to set up two (2) separate zones (one for each channel).
9 Phoenix-style connectors, if used in Bridge mode, need to be wired such that the speaker wires go across the
positive terminals of the amplifier output. If using two zones for stereo, be sure to wire the left and right speakers
with the same polarity to maintain phase.
10 In Bridge mode, outputs are rated for only eight (8) ohm loads and will not function correctly for four (4) ohm
loads.
