PURPOSE AND FUNCTION
The AV2600 is an integration of a stereo audio distribution BUS with six compact and efficient 60 W power
amplifiers. Each pair of amplifiers have DIP switches that allow system configuration for use with either
mono/stereo and muting control via a Master or Local control input. Additionally, there is support for paralleling
multiple speaker output channels to allow greater output current capability. It is clear the AV2600 is designed to
allow flexibility and functionality in the design of Multi Zone power system applications. The term versatile is
almost inadequate to describe the multitude of operational modes the AV2600 is capable of providing.
Below are just a few of the tasks the AV2600 may be configured to perform:
• The most obvious example allows for three stereo audio input pairs to power three pairs of
amplified speaker outputs. This is the default factory configuration.
• Using the audio distribution BUS, DIP switches allow independent configuration for up to 3 pairs of
mono or stereo, with independent automatic audio sense muting per amplifier output pair.
• The availability of both Local and BUS audio outputs, allows for a number of units to be cascaded
for easy and efficient system expansion.
