Carbon XA Amplifiers

Overview - Carbon XA Amplifiers

Where more than one pair of speakers is required in a zone, Carbon XA amplifiers provide the extra power needed to drive up to 4 additional speaker pairs (FIG. 1). Use Carbon XA in backyards, large rooms or other zones where additional speakers are needed.

Connecting Carbon XA to a Mi-Series Audio Controller

Connect the Carbon XA Amplifier to the Mi-Series Audio Controller via the Molex connector labelled “From Controller” on the rear panel of the Carbon XA.

Connecting Matrix Keypads to the Carbon XA

Connect Matrix Keypads to the Carbon XA Amplifier via the Molex connector labelled “To Keypad” on the rear panel of the Carbon XA (see FIG. 2).

FIG. 2 Molex Connector Legend

Note: When stripping cable for use with the Molex connector, only strip away about ¼” (6mm) of the insulation from each wire. The complete assembly should not have more than 1/32” (1mm) of bare wire exposed from the bottom of the connector.

Connecting Speakers

Non-SWT Speakers

Each speaker has a Red (positive) terminal and a Black (negative) terminal. Connect the appropriate wire from the keypad to Red and Black terminals on the Left and Right speakers, as with any standard speaker installation.

SWT Speakers

Matrix Audio SWT Speakers are different from any other speaker available on the market. They allow you to control a single zone of audio without a keypad being installed. Therefore, some different wiring practices must be considered for proper operation and control.

This is achieved by “daisy-chaining” from the first speaker to the second speaker. The main run of 16/4 from the controller will go directly to the first speaker in the zone.

•At the controller end, the wiring is left-to-right: L D G R with the screws of the connector facing up.

•At the speaker end, refer to the labeling on speaker PCB to ensure the correct wiring.

The labelling at both ends must match or the IR control will not work (i.e.: if you used the RED wire for the Left Audio labelled “L” at the zone output, you must use the RED wire for the pin labelled “L” on the speaker connector).

Be sure to screw the connector down to the speaker crossover board before installing and securing in the ceiling. This will ensure that the connector will not disconnect after installation.

A single run of 16/2 must be run from the first speaker to the second speaker.

Audio Switching

When no audio is present, the Carbon XA amplifier will go into Standby mode and mute the speakers after about 5 seconds. When audio is sensed at the input, the device will un-mute the speakers and the volume may be controlled by the keypad or remote. The switch time between muting and un-muting is approximately 200 milliseconds.
