advantageous to have different volume control but the same source, or the same volume with separate standby control. Zone linking is setup either via the front panel user interface or by the IMC program.

The expansion bus feature vastly simplifies the installa- tion cabling of an amplifier stack.
One amplifier is connected to another using a
All audio sources must be connected to the first ampli- fier.

Looped 1.5 second mono sounds can be generated as part of a page preset.
Suitable “wav” files are uploaded to the unit using the IMC program. IMC truncates the “wav” files to a suit- able size.
12VDC 1A Power
Two 12VDC jacks are available for powering external accessories – internally fused at 1A
Amplifier ON Status – “Amp-On”
Each zone has front panel ON status indication, and 12VDC OUT on the rear panel connector: (1, 2, 3, 4 & #). The # “AMP ON” output is a logic “And” output, i.e. if any zone is ON then the output will be 12V. This is useful for driving a relay that connects AC power to source equipment. The “AMP ON” output’s are pro- tected against shorts. The “AMP ON” outputs default to tracking the preamplifier ON status, but may optionally be set to track the amplifier ON status using the IMC program.
