Wiring Instructions

CONNECTING AMPLIFIERS

Connect the Zone Output of each PR-4Zi zone to one line input of a multichannel amp. Figure 2 shows a connection to the Russound DPA-6.12 Twelve Channel Audio Amplifier. (Figure 2 also shows a trigger connection, discussed on p. 6.)

If using multiple two-channel amplifiers, such as the Russound DPA-1.2, connect as shown in Figure 3 (see p. 6). Use good quality audio cables that are as short as possible to keep sig- nal integrity intact.
