DLA2/4/6 Speaker Level Audio Router 1. Introduction A Simple Concept Reaches New Heights The concept is simple and has been around for years - a device that allows you to connect extra speakers to your existing A/V or stereo receiver. Push a button - your speakers come on. Push it again - they go off. Turn a knob, and the volume goes up or down. Great concept. Good exercise, too - especially when your system is located downstairs or on the other side of the house. Introducing DLA2/4/6 Speak

DLA2/4/6 Speaker Level Audio Router Standard Audio/Video or Stereo Receiver Most A/V Receivers and Stereo Receivers have two sets of Main Speaker Outputs (typically labelled “A” and “B”. While it is certainly possible to connect the DLA2/4/6 to the “A” outputs, it is much more useful to connect the “A” outputs to the main speakers (stereo or surround) in the room in which the receiver is located and connect the “B” outputs to the DLA2/4/6 in order to expand the audio system to additional are

DLA2/4/6 Speaker Level Audio Router Zone 2 Output of an A/V or Stereo Receiver Certain A/V Receivers and Stereo Receivers have a Zone 2 feature that allows them to play a seperate source to a second zone. Figure 2-3 shows the Zone 2 speaker outputs of an A/V receiver connected to to the AMPLIFIER INPUT of the DLA2. Like the previous example, a pair of speakers are connected to the DLA2s Room 1 Speaker Outputs, while an additional pair of speakers is connected to the Room 2 Speaker Outputs. T

DLA2/4/6 Speaker Level Audio Router External Ampli er Some systems utilize an external ampli er for speakers that are connected to the DLA2/4/6. In A/V receiver or stereo receiver applications, a line-level output (Tape Loop, Monitor Out, etc.) is connected to the external ampli er (See Figure 2-4). In a Pre-Amp/Processor-based system, the Pre-Amp is connected to the external ampli er as shown in Figure 2-5. DLA2 AMPLIFIER IR E MITTER OUTPUTS PATENT INPUT PENDING RF SENSE INPUT INPUT PWR

DLA2/4/6 Speaker Level Audio Router 3. Connections AMPLIFIER INPUT Use 16 AWG stranded copper speaker wire to connect from a speaker level output of an A/V receiver, stereo receiver, or amplifer. Turn power for the output device OFF before making connections. To make connections: 1. Cut the ends of the wire to length, allowing some free play (about 6 inches of slack) to allow for movement when physically connecting the wire. 2. Using wire strippers, remove 3/8 inch of insulation, then tw
