KEYPAD AND IR REMOTE FEATURES
The optional keypads can control zone power on/off, volume up/down, selection of
sources 1-6, zone treble, zone bass, zone un-mute and zone standby. The keypads
have Infrared receivers which allows control with optional IR hand held remote. The
IR system can also send IR commands to the IR output jacks of the RMC-66A for
control of your source components.

Connect audio sources to the RMC-66A using the 6 stereo RCA inputs on the
rear panel. Input 1 can be used as priority over all inputs. When 12VDC is
applied (3.5mm tip+ sleeve -) to the PA-IN jack, source 1 will be sent to all
zones. This can be used for party mode or paging.

and APP.
STEREO MODE BRIDGED MODE
The RMC-66A is capable of driving 4-8 ohm speaker loads in stereo mode and 8ohm loads in
bridge (mono) mode. Improper speaker installation can damage the amplifiers and void the
warranty. Use good quality 12-14awg stranded copper speaker wire.
The speaker output terminal block connectors are removable. Remove the terminal block connector
and make sure that all connections are open by turning each set screw counter clockwise. This
insures that the speaker wire opening is completely open. Trim approx 1/4” of insulation from the
speaker wire and twist the copper ends. Insert the speaker wires into the connector and tighten the
set screws. Repeat for the remaining zones.
BRIDGE MODE:
Setting the amplifier mode switch to BRIDGE mode will combine the LEFT and RIGHT signals and
power into one amplifier. The LEFT and RIGHT input signals will be summed to mono. The
minimum speaker impedance in bridge mode is 8ohms.

The RMC-66A has optional 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 RMC-66K (Optional Accessory Kit) also comes with a hub that allows for all 6-keypads to
be connected to the amp via Cat5e/6.

CONNECTING THE KEYPAD HUB
Each source has a corresponding Infrared (IR) emitter output. These outputs are
use to control the connected source components remotely through the IR system.
Connect an IR emitter to the output jack and then connect the flasher to the IR
receiver window of the device. Now you can use an IR remote to control your
source through the keypads.

CONTROL OUT jack when any zone is powered ON. The 12VDC CONTROL OUT
signal is disengaged when all zones are powered OFF.
PA- IN- Insert 12VDC and Input 1 takes priority over all other inputs and
broadcasts to all 6 zones.
