2 Input/Output and Power Connections

Connect Inputs, Outputs, Power and Ground as described below. Please see Figures 2 and 3 for additional illustrations.

Connect Inputs

•Three sets of stereo inputs are provided. Located on the bottom edge of the PCB, these are labeled as LI1/RI1, LI2/RI2, and LI3/RI3. Each stereo pair uses a common ground, labeled “G”, located between the left/right inputs.

•Connect stereo inputs and ground(s) as needed.

•All analog inputs support 4Vpp maximum input levels.

Connect Outputs

•Connect stereo outputs, labeled LO and RO, on the left side of the PCB. LO and RO use a common ground labeled GND between the LO and RO connection points.

•Connect subwoofer output (labeled SUB) and ground (labeled GND) if needed.

•All analog output support 4Vpp maximum input levels.

Connect Power Supply and Ground

•Provide an external 5.0V DC and ground to the 5VIN and GND pins to the upper right corner of the PCB. This needs to be a well regulated analog supply, since this voltage is connected directly to the analog_Vcc of the device without additional regulation.
