Connecting an Amplifier (ZONE 2)

This configuration shows the ZONE 2 connections to a 2-channel amplifier. The output is a left and right RCA connection. Zone 2 does not have the option of balanced XLR connections. Also note the connection of the 12 VDC trigger to turn the amplifier on.

Note - for this particular configuration (where the amplifier is 5+2 channels), the channels intended for Zone 2 must be able to have a separate turn-on command or the amplifier will power up Zone 2 whenever the MAIN zone is on. Alternatively, a second (separate) amplifier can be used. See next page.
