HOUSE SPEAKER IN Connector

The component connected to the HOUSE SPEAKER IN connector (see Figure 5) is

the amplifier’s default input signal that is passed (unamplified) to the speakers

when no control trigger stimulus is applied. Typically, this is the room’s speaker output from a whole-house audio system.

The HOUSE SPEAKER IN connector uses a removable 4-wire quick connector that accepts bare wire up to 14AWG. To

wire the connector see the sidebar in the next column.

Wiring the Removable Quick Connectors

1. Mark each wire’s positive (“+”) and negative (“–”) leads and its channel (left or right).

2. Strip no more than 1/8” of insulation from each wire. Twist the strands to ensure that there are no stray strands. (Stray strands that touch other or touch the amplifier chassis can cause a short-circuit that can damage the amplifier.)

LOCAL LINE IN Jacks

If the local source component has a set of Line Output jacks, use a stereo RCA cable to connect them to the ASAP3D SE’s LOCAL LINE IN jacks (see Figure 6).

The signal at the Local Line In jacks will be amplified and sent to the ASAP3D SE’s SPEAKER OUTPUT connector whenev- er the amplifier’s automatic switching is triggered (see Control Inputs/ Outputs, on page 7).

5. After making sure that there are no stray wire strands

touching each other, flip the levers down to lock the wires

in the terminals.

LOCAL SPEAKER IN Connector

If the local source component does not have a set of Line Output jacks, use speaker wire to connect its Speaker Outputs to the ASAP3D SE’s LOCAL SPEAKER IN connector (see Figure 7).

The signal at the LOCAL SPEAKER IN con- nector will be amplified and sent to the ASAP3D SE’s SPEAKER OUTPUT connector whenever the amplifier’s automatic switching is triggered (see Control Inputs/Outputs, on page 7).

6. Press the removable connector into the rear-panel

connector until it locks into place.

• The removable connectors will only fit one way on

the amplifier.
