Installing the Simplese System in Your Home I. Prewire The Simplese System uses CAT5 cable for keypad control and either two or four-conductor 16-gauge speaker wire. All the wire is “homerun” from each zone to the location of the Allport connection hub.

K K E E T T R R II. Speaker Wire Termination It is important to keep the proper orientation of positive and negative signal for each speaker connection. Typically, two-conductor speaker wire uses red to denote positive and black to denote negative. Some types of wire indicate positive with a dark line Fig. 2 running through the insulation. Four-conductor wire can also be used. This has four separate wires in one outer jacket, making it possible to run a single speaker wire to a zone for

This can be dedicated to an outdoor zone or large living area that would benefit from more than one pair of speakers. NuVo manufactures a 200-watt stereo amplifier specifically designed for this purpose, called the NuVo P2100, although any audio amplifier can be used with the lineouts. The examples shown in this manual refer specifically to th

A good example of this use would be an outdoor zone that is being used in conjunction with zone 4. All three versions, zone 4 amplified output, variable lineout, and fixed lineout can be used simultaneously.
