II. Terminating the Speaker Wire (Fig. 2)

All NuVo Systems operate across a “homerun” wiring scheme using CAT5 for the zone's Control Pad communication and control, and a separate run of speaker wire for each zone. The Essentia operates differently in that its zone speaker wire termination is made at the Allport hub. The suggested wire for this purpose is 16-gauge, 2- or 4- conductor speaker wire rated for in-wall use.

The termination is performed using a modular “Euro” connector. Each conductor is screwed down to the Euro connector and plugged into the appropriate zone speaker connection on the back of the Allport. The proper termination for each zone is Left channel: — and +, and Right channel: — and +.

III. Installing the Essentia Amplifier

System setup works best when the amplifier is placed in the same location as the audio source equipment. This is typically in an audio rack, entertainment center, or a closet dedicated to housing the home audio/video equipment. To insure cool, reliable operation, we highly recommend allowing one empty rack space above a Main or an Expander amplifier unit. Also, insure there is ventilation around the whole rack location.

The amplifier should be plugged in and the blue Standby LED should be lit before proceeding with the remaining installation. This activates protective circuitry for the internal components.

IV. Installing the NV-E6GMAP-DC Allport (Fig. 3)

The Allport is a multi-connection hub designed to accept all the CAT5 and speaker wires from all zones of the Essentia System. The location of the Allport should be determined by the location of the Essentia amplifier. It is best to place it in a wall behind the amplifier that can be easily accessible if necessary.

The Allport is designed to fit into most any dual-gang mounting ring, and has two sets of terminations on the backside. Eight RJ45 jacks are meant for the Control Pads in up to six zones, with one reserved for an additional Control Pad and another for a “link” jack used for expansion from six to twelve zones.

IThe order in which the CAT5 cables are plugged into the jacks is irrelevant to the system's operation. Six modular “Euro” connectors are used to terminate the speakers in each zone, see Section II, Terminating the Speaker Wire.

Once the speaker and CAT5 terminations are complete, the Allport can be installed.
