Emotiva LPA-1

This configuration shows the LPA-1 three independent zones of audio through a “multi-

zone controller”. The source units connect into the multi zone controller, as do the application specific keypads. From there, the preamp outputs for each zone connect to the LPA-1 and then each zone connects to two channels of LPA-1 power. In this configuration, channels 6 and 7 would be bridged to complete the channel 5/6 pair.
