INSTALLATION:
Loxone amplifiers are designed to help deliver a great audio experience. However, where you place the amplifier can
have a large effect on the performance you receive, and the life of the unit. If you are not rack-mounting the amplifier,
posi- tion it with all feet resting on a solid level surface. Be sure that the amplifier is in a well-ventilated area and DO
NOT install the amplifier near a source of heat or in an extremely humid or wet location.
CAUTION: All connections and switching must be done with the amplifier’s power switch positioned to ‘Off’. Connect
the power cord last to be sure that the amplifier is off during all of your connections and set up.

FRONT PANEL:
1. Master Power Switch / Indicator LED
Front panel pushbutton power switch turns the amplifier on and off. When the switch is on and the indicator LED is red,
the amplifier is in standby mode. The remote turn on switch (located on the rear) is either in the “trigger” or “auto”
position. When the LED is blue, the amplifier is fully active. The master power switch will turn off the amplifier no
matter which power mode has been selected.
2. Zone Status Indicators
Each pair of channels or zones has a bi-color LED to indicate its operational status. These indicators provide quick and
easy troubleshooting of the system. If the circuitry determines that a channel must be shut down due to excessive heat
or low impedance (a short), only the channels that are affected will be turned off causing the zone LED to turn red. The
remaining zones will continue to operate and maintain a blue LED status. Once the condition has been corrected for the
zone in question, the status LED will return to blue.
Note: When the power LED is red and the zone status LEDS are not lit (off) indicates the unit is in stand by mode.
REAR PANEL:
3. BUS Line Inputs / Outputs
The Amplifier has two common or BUS inputs that receives audio signals from standard line-level audio sources and
sends them to any or all channels. The BUS line outputs are direct feed-through to allow the BUS inputs to be fed to
other amplifiers. Be sure to use high quality RCA cables that feature low impedance, shielding and high quality
connectors.
4. Remote Turn-On Switch
This switch selects the turn-on stimuli that will put the amplifier in ready mode. “Trigger” setting relies on 3-30V AC/DC
voltage going into the trigger input to activate the amplifier. “Auto” setting senses a signal on the RCA line-level inputs
and automatically puts the amp in ready mode. “On” setting puts the amp constantly in ready mode so that it can be
controlled by the master power switch on the front panel. In “Auto” mode, the amplifier will take approximately 15
minutes to return from ready to standby mode.
5. Trigger Input / Output
The trigger input is a handy feature when connecting the amplifier to an automated audio system. The 3.5mm mini-plug
jack will accept a 3-30V AC/DC output from another device, or from a separate power supply. When the trigger input is
energized, the amp turns from standby to ON mode. When using the Amplifier with a receiver without a trigger output,
the voltage can come from a 12V wall wart (3.5mm tip-positive connector) plugged into the receiver’s switched outlet
and the trigger input. The Amplifier can also provide an output trigger voltage (12DC @500mA max.) to turn on and off
other devices in the audio system. When the amplifier turns off (standby mode), the voltage will drop to zero.

Note: Remember there is a delay of approximately 15 minutes before the amplifier goes to standby when using the
“Auto” turn-on mode.
6. Channel Gain Control
Each channel has its own independent level adjustment. This allows the output level of each speaker to be perfectly
matched to its area. It can also be used to limit the maximum audio level in a certain area.
7. Bridging Switch
By simply flipping a single switch, two channels can be combined to increase the total power output. This is helpful
when extra power is needed in certain areas.
Note: The minimum impedance for bridged channels is 8 ohms. Also, please observe the proper speaker wiring when
bridging channels. Input selection and volume settings for bridged channels will be controlled by the left channel. “BR”
is bridged mode and “ST” is non-bridged or stereo mode.
CAUTION: Only change switch positions when the amplifier is turned off.
8. Input Selection Switch
Each channel is capable of delivering the source from many inputs. The three main inputs are BUS 1, BUS 2 and LINE IN.
The selection for these inputs is done via the Input Selection switch associated with each channel. Select the desired
source input. Set the Input Selection switch to BUS 1 (will play source connected to the BUS 1 input), BUS 2 (will play
source connected to the BUS 2 input) or LINE IN (will play source connected to that channel’s LINE IN).
CAUTION: Only change switch positions when the amplifier is turned off.
CLOSE UP OF CONNECTIONS
9. Speaker Output Terminals
The Amplifier uses high quality Phoenix style connectors for the speaker connections. Use 14-18 gauge stranded
two-conductor loudspeaker wire. Ensure that at least 2 inches of each conductor are separated. Strip away 1⁄4 inch of
insulation from each conductor. Connect the appropriate conductor to each screw terminal, observing correct polarity.
Also, please observe proper speaker wiring when bridging channels.
10. Individual Channel Input
All twelve channels have their own dedicated input that allows the connection of audio sources in addition to the
common BUS inputs. This is useful when using the Amplifier with an audio matrix switcher.

11. AC Voltage Switch
The unit is set at the factory for 115V U.S. operation; simply connect the included IEC power cord to your wall outlet. For
230V operation, move the voltage selector switch to the 230V position. When operating at 230V the internal fuse
located in the IEC socket should also be changed. In most 230V applications a separate power cord will be required and
is not included.
12. IEC Power Connector
The unit comes with an IEC jack that permits removal of the AC power cord. This allows the flexibility of chang- ing the
power cord for different countries. The IEC socket also houses the main fuse holder. Plug the power cord supplied with
the amplifier into the amplifier and a grounded wall outlet or appropriate surge protector.
CAUTION: DO NOT plug the amplifier’s power cord into a switched outlet, such as what is provided on some Sur- round
Receivers. If you wish to have the amplifier turn on when the Receiver is powered up, use one of the power modes, such
as Trigger or Audio.
TYPICAL 6 ROOM INSTALLATION
NOTES ABOUT HUM:
While the Amplifier has been designed to minimize the possibility of hum in the audio system, it is still possible that a
hum will occur in rare circumstances. Its safety grounding can create a path for small amounts of 60 Hz energy to travel
through the line-level audio system. While not dangerous, this energy can cause difficulty with the auto signal sensing
circuit, and at the very least will interfere with the quiet enjoyment of your system. The first course of action should be
trying to make sure that all of the audio components are connected to either the same electrical outlet, or at least into

the same circuit branch. Next, cable TV systems are notoriously the culprit, so be sure to try disconnecting all coaxial
feeds that are connected to the system. If this solves the problem, install a coaxial line isolator and reconnect the
system. In the very worst case, a line-level audio isolator/transformer connected to the line-in of the subwoofer
amplifier will usually solve the problem.
