1. Introduction
The lyriQ™ High Performance Keypad Volume Control with IR, P/N AU1000-xx
(see Figure 1), is an integral part of the lyriQ™ Multi-Room Audio System. It is
a component which, when combined with other essential components and your
source equipment (receiver, CD player, etc.), creates a versatile whole-house
audio system that will fill your rooms with high-quality sound for years to come.
It uses Category 5 wiring to distribute audio signals, control information and IR
for remote control. The High Performance Keypad has two on-board 20 Watt
per channel class D amplifiers to provide a rich level of clean sound even in
outdoor or large room applications. It also contains a full set of features,
including the integrated ability to control all other keypad volume controls in the
house.
2. Description
The front panel of the lyriQ™ High Performance Keypad Volume Control with IR,
PN AU1000-xx (see Figure 1), looks almost identical to the standard lyriQ™
Keypad Volume Control with IR (F7394-xx). It also has push buttons for
VOLUME UP/DOWN (with five associated green Volume Bar Graph LEDs),
SOURCE (with four green Source Selection LEDs) and MUTE (with one red
status LED). There is also an IR target window and tri-colored status LED. The
visual cue from the front panel that this is a High Performance Volume Control
are the parenthesis surrounding the music note in the lower right hand corner.
You’ll have no problem telling that this is a lyriQ™ High Performance Keypad
Volume Control from the rear of the keypad (see Figure 2). The first thing you’ll
notice is that the Category 5 connection is now an RJ45 jack (J1) rather than a
110 style punch down strip. The TB2 speaker output connections (left and right,
plus and minus) are spring loaded and designed to support up to 14 gauge wire.
The TB3 Line Out connections (plus and minus) are also spring loaded and
designed to support up to 14 gauge wire. This mono-summed output is designed
for powered sub-woofers and as such is filtered through an 80Hz low pass filter.
The other terminal block on the rear (TB1) is used for powering the keypad. Up to
14 gauge speaker wire may be used for this purpose, and this speaker wire (two
conductor or four conductor) is run from a power distribution module (P/N
AU1001) in the enclosure to the volume control. We recommend 16/4 speaker
wire, since it is available paired with Category 5 from a variety of sources. Again,
the TB1 connections are spring loaded (plus and minus) with the two plus
connections on the red portion of TB1 and the two minus connections on the
black portion of TB1. For ease of installation, connect the red wire and white wire
to the red (plus) portion of TB1 and the black and green wire to the black (minus)
portion of TB1.

3. Installation
Installation of the lyriQ™ High Performance Keypad Volume Control with IR is best accomplished at multiple times
during new construction, at “Rough-in” before the drywall is installed, and at “Trim-out” after the drywall is installed
and painted.
NOTE: Before connecting the volume controls: Make sure that power supplies are not connected to the
lyriQ™ Audio and Power Distribution Modules. For instructions on pre-wiring and installing other
components of the lyriQ™ Audio System, please see the Instruction Sheets included with those
components.
NOTE: All wiring should be terminated to the T568A wiring standard. Failure to follow the correct wiring
standard could result in damaged equipment.
A. “Rough-in” steps:
1) A single Category 5 cable and 16/4 speaker wire should be run from the enclosure location to a single
gang outlet box or mud ring at each Volume Control location.
B. “Trim-out” steps:
1) Connect the volume control by terminating the pre-wired Category 5 cable from the enclosure with an
RJ45 plug, following the T568A wiring standard and insert this plug into jack J1 (see Figure 2).
2) For the power connection (TB1) strip 3/8” of insulation from each of the four conductors and insert the
red and white wires into the red (plus ) portion of TB1. Insert the stripped black and green wires into the
black (minus) portion of TB1 (see Figure 2).
NOTE: The two red connections are tied together, as are the two black connections. They are
provided in pairs to provide flexibility of wiring.
NOTE: Electricians may prefer to think of the black and red wires as plus and the green and white
wires as minus. That wiring will also work, as long as it is also followed at the other end of the cable
(at the Power Distribution Module in the enclosure).
3) Speaker/Line Out/Sub-Woofer connections (see Figure 2):
NOTE: Polarity and channels are clearly marked (L+, L-, R-, R+) for proper identification during
installation.
a) Use TB2 to connect your evōQ™ audio speakers to the volume control.
b) Use TB3 to connect your evōQ™ powered sub-woofer or an external amplifier to the volume control.
These connection terminals do not provide any amplification but the volume control on the keypad
controls the output level of this connection.

4) Connections in the enclosure (see Figure 3 ):
a) The Category 5 cable that was run to each volume control location should be terminated with an RJ45
plug according to the T568A wiring standard and inserted into one of the zone output jacks of the
associated lyriQ™ audio distribution module.
b) For the 16/4 speaker wire power cable that was run to each volume control location, strip 3/8” of
insulation from each of the four conductors and insert the red and white wires into the red (plus ) portion
of TB1. Insert the stripped black and green wires into the black (minus) portion of TB1
NOTE: As noted before, Electricians may prefer to think of the black and red wires as plus and the
green and white wires as minus. That wiring will also work, as long as it is also followed at each
end of the cable.
5) Keypad Mounting: check all connections and test the system’s operation before installing the volume
controls into the wall. Use the included screws to install the volume control and wall plate into a standard
single gang box.
NOTE: If not using a low voltage mounting ring, a 20 in.³ or greater single gang box is recommended.

NOTE: The other keypads that are on and not in DND mode momentarily flash their Volume Bar Graph LEDs
(indicating they are under Whole House control). Their IR /Status LED also blinks orange.
In this mode, all functions performed on the local keypad such as Volume Up/Down, Mute, Source selection, or
Power Up/Down are relayed to and performed on all active keypads in the system.
NOTE: There are also two special SOURCE commands that may be issued In this mode as described
below.
1) When in Whole-House Source Control Mode and the SOURCE button is pressed and held, a command will
be issued for all keypads to turn on and go to the selected source.
2) When in Whole-House Source Control Mode and the SOURCE button is double tapped, a command will be
issued for all active keypads to go to the source that the local keypad is currently on. This is handy to get
everyone sync’d to the same source without going through all the selections. Remember, if I’m listening to a
source let’s say #3 for example and want to perform Whole House commands to get everyone else there, if I
simply go into Whole-House Source Control mode and press the SOURCE button it will cause everyone to
go to #4 and then #1 and then #2 and finally to #3, while double tapping it will cause every active keypad to
go directly to Source #3.
NOTE: The Whole-House Source Control mode will be exited when the user fails to press a key
within 10 seconds or by pressing and holding the MUTE and SOURCE buttons simultaneously as
before.
