CONNECT AND OPERATE
Before you begin to install the MAP1200WD it is important to implement good installa-
tion practices:
1. Make sure that AC power is disconnected before making ANY connections
to the main unit and attached devices.
2. Install in a well-ventilated environment
3. Ensure any vents are not blocked to allow for proper circulation
4. Do not install above or below sources of heat
5. Use good quality cabling
6. The unit can be installed within a rack using the provided mounting rack
ears
Up to 6 sources can be connected to a single MAP1200WD Using RCA
cables connect each source into one of the available Source Inputs.
Some sources such as MP3 players and Cell Phones may require a
3.5mm Stereo to RCA Cables in order to connect to the MAP1200WD
NOTE: Input 1 can be used as a global input for all zones when a source
is connected to Input 1 and the 12VDC is applied to the PA-IN jack (tip is
positive) then source 1 will broadcast to all zones. If no 12VDC is applied, then
the first input will be operating under normal conditions.
CONNECTING THE SOURCES

The MAP1200WD can work with speakers that are 4-8 Ohm. There are two
modes that can be set for different setups: Stereo or Bridge. An 8 Ohm
speaker can only be used when in Bridge mode. To choose between
modes, use the mode switch to determine modes for each zone (Number 2
Panel Descriptions, page 5)
Once you have properly identified the desired mode, strip about ¼” of
insulation and twist the copper strands. Connect the speaker wire to there
screw down terminal as indicated on the amp. To loosen the terminal turn
counterclockwise and to tighten the terminal turn clockwise. For better
quality, we recommend used 12-14 AWG stranded copper speaker wire.
CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS
USING THE PRE-AMP OUTPUTS
There are 3 unbalanced, line level Pre-Amp outputs that correspond to the
first 3 Outputs. These can be used to connect an additional amplifier, expand
zones, or to connect a powered subwoofer. The Pre-amp output levels are
not fixed and are able to be controlled via IR, RS232, keypads and Wifi.

CONNECTING THE KEYPADS
The MAP1200WD comes with 6 POE enabled keypads. This allows for source
control from each specific zone as well as IR routing to the appropriate
source devices once selected. The MAP1200WD also comes with a hub that
allows for all 6-keypads to be connected to the amp via Cat5e/6.
Without power being connected, connect a Cat5e/6
cable to the RJ45 port labeled KEYPADS on the back of
the MAP1200WD We recommend terminating the
Cat5e/6 using the 568B standard.
At this point it is also important to address your keypads. Refer to the chart
below which is also found on the PCB board of the back of the keypad to set
the dip switches according to the zone you would like it to control.
