AMX Delta Series 4. , 5.

Wiring and Connections

12 Delta Series Audio Controllers

When an AM/FM tuner has been installed, input #1 will default to the internal tuner and the RCA input

jacks will not be active for source #1. If no internal tuner is installed, the source #1 inputs will be active.

Either way, Source#1 is activated by the top-left button on the keypads.

 Source #2 is activated by the top-right button on the keypads.

 Source #3 is activated by the button directly below source #1

 Source #4 is activated by the button directly below source #2.

See “Using the Matrix Keypads” for more details on how to use the keypads.

4. Connect the 75 Ohm FM antenna by pushing the “F Connector” on to the terminal at the back of the

Delta Controller.

5. Connect the AM loop antenna by inserting the stripped wire ends into the spring loaded jacks at the

back of the Delta Controller.

Since this a “loop” antenna, the position of the wires in the jacks does not matter (FIG. 6).

Depending on the installation location, it may be necessary to use a powered FM

antenna to receive clear FM stations.
