1- Power and S-Bus:
As in figure 1, the Z-Audio2 has a separate power supply, which means no need
to use the power pair in the S-bus connection. It is clear in the picture also that only the
Data pair (D+,D-) are connected in order to hook the module to the S-BUS network.
2- Speakers:
Like shown in the figure 2 above, You have a stereo, left and right two
Passive speakers out, using a proper speaker cable, connect to the speakers.
In Figure 3, there is only one speaker connected.
The audio out port (shown in fig 2) can also be used to connect to a speaker
system that is equipped with and audio in option like shown in the two pictures below:

3- Sources:
1- SD Card: Normal size, preferred Kingston or Sandisc (Fig 4).
2- LAN shared storage: the Z-Audio has a built in NIC card which allow it to
be connected to any computer network. With the regular computer
network IP configuration it can easily play music from that storage.
Refer to the Z-Audio and FTP programming manual.
3- Built in Radio, you just need to connect normal radio antenna to the FM
antenna jack shown in fig 2.
4- Normal stereo Audio input to connect to any music player system using a
normal RCA cable (Fig 5).
5- PA (Public address) using the same stereo RCA cable to any source, but
using this one for announcement systems since the input on this port will
override whatever is playing on the speaker. (refer to the programing
manual, and the usage and connection ideas documents)
