6.Press the removable connector into the corresponding zone SPEAKER OUT connector on the controller until it locks into place (see Figure 6).

•The removable connectors will only fit one way on the controller.

Zone Line Output Connections

In addition to Speaker Output connectors, each zone on the C4630 SE also has a set of Line Output jacks (see Figure 6). The Zone Line Outputs let you connect high-power amplifiers to individual zones that require more power than the C4630 SE’s built-in 30 Watt/ch amplifier can provide, or expand a zone into sub-zones by using a multi- channel amplifier.

Line Output Fixed/Variable Switch

Each zone Line Output has a push-button switch that toggles the Line Output between VARIABLE (OUT) and FIXED (IN). (See Figure 6.) The VARIABLE setting allows zone keypad and remote controllers to control the level of the Line Outputs. In the FIXED setting the Line Output level cannot be varied. Keypad and remote control MUTE controls function in both the FIXED and VARIABLE settings.

Important: Do not push the Line Output FIXED /VARIABLE switch while the C4630 SE is operating. Doing so can produce high output levels that can damage the C4630 SE, the connected amplifier or the speakers.

NOTE: Setting a zone’s output to Fixed disables the following Sonance Control Manager Zone Setup

features for that zone: Default Volume, Maximum Volume, Page Volume, Balance, Bass, Treble. See

pages 29 and 30 .

Connecting a High-Power Amplifier in a Zone

1.Set the zone’s Variable/Fixed Output switch to the VARIABLE (OUT) position.

2.Connect a stereo RCA cable from the appropriate Zone Line Outputs on the C4630 SE to the high-power amplifier’s input connectors (see Figure 7, on page 14). The VARIABLE setting allows the zone’s volume to be controlled by the C4630 SE via a keypad or a properly-programmed IR remote.

Using a Multi-Channel Amplifier for Sub-Zone Expansion

1.Set the zone’s Variable/Fixed Output switch to the FIXED (IN) position.

2.Connect a stereo RCA cable from the appropriate Zone Line Outputs on the C4630 SE to the multi-channel amplifier’s Bus input connectors (see Figure 8, on page 14). For example, an 8-channel amplifier like the Sonamp 875D SE will let you put four speaker pairs in the zone. The FIXED output setting allows the C4630 SE’s Mute function to mute all four sub-zones. Volume for each pair of speakers in each sub-zone is controlled by an in-wall volume control.

3.Connect the Control Out on the C4630 SE to the External Control input on the sub-zone amplifier (if available) to automatically power-up the external amp when any zone on the C4630 SE is ON.

NOTE: The C4630 SE can also turn connected amplif iers ON and OFF via serial control. See page 40.
