The WS66I can work with speakers that are 4-8 Ohm. There are 9 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

(Optional)
The WS66I can be controled via 6POE enabled keypads (optional). This allows for
source control from each specific zone as well as IR routing to the
appropriate source devices once selected. The WS66I also comes with
optional hub that allows for all 6-keypads to be connected to the amp via
Cat5e/6.

When being used with keypads, the WS66I can receive IR signals from each
zone, and routed back through the Cat5e/6 and Keypad up to the Amplifier to
control the selected source. For example, if Source 2-DVD is selected in Zone 1,
the user will be able to control the DVD player to power the device on/o,
change settings ect. Since the amplifer has discreet routing, ONLY the Source
that is selected on each zone can be controlled. This prevents other sources
from accidently be controlled when selected on other zones.
The WS66I can allow 6 sources to be distributed to up to 18 zones on 3 dierent
units using the provided ribbon cable to connect between units. To do this first
each unit needs to be addressed according using the MASTER/SLAVE switch.
There are 3 positions for this, Master, Slave 1, and Slave 2 which help identify
each unit.

The Ethernet connection of the WS66I is used for configuration and program-
ming as well as for enabling control via the WS66I control APP, and the “Sounda-
vo Player” for the built-in streaming services and for playing any music stored on
connected network. By using the Advanced_IP_Scanner software can be used to
search for the WS66I matrix amp device in the local area network, IP address and
status. Connect an Ethernet cable from an open network port on the rear of the
WS66I, the LED beside the ethernet port of will turns flash green when the
network connection is successfully established.
