AT O N AH66T INSTALLATION MANUAL Chapter 2: AH66T System Design Overview Introduction The first step to a good design is to map the system. It is advisable to mark up a copy of the house floor plan with speaker, touchpad, volume control, and equipment locations etc. Make sure that all locations are decided upon before pre-wiring commences so that all necessary wiring and installation hardware is in place. This unit will be interfacing with other compo

AT O N AH66T INSTALLATION MANUAL Stereo Zones To create an independent stereo zone, simply connect the AH66T’s Speaker Outputs to a pair of speakers. Make sure to take into account the amplifier’s 8 Ohm minimum impedance when choosing and configuring speakers. Volume is controlled at preamp level using IR or RS-232 commands. Any speakers connected to these channels ramp volume up/down together. Use an OLED2 touchpad or hand-held remote control to cont

AT O N AH66T INSTALLATION MANUAL Stereo Zones w/ Stereo Sub-Zone Using Volume Controls Connect the Zone Preamp Output to a pair of the external amplifier’s inputs. Using the ATON configuration software, configure the Zone Preamp Output to FIXED. Use an impedance matching volume control (ATON AVC100R or AVC100SL) on the external amplifier’s speaker outputs to maintain independent volume control capabilities in each room. The main zone ramps volume up/do

AT O N AH66T INSTALLATION MANUAL Mono Zoning Rooms with no definite listening area (kitchens, hallways, L-shaped rooms, for example) are ideal for mono applications. The AH66T can combine stereo source signals into a single mono output that is available on two channels. Stereo / Mono selection is done on a zone by zone basis using the ATON configuration software. (Factory Default setting is STEREO.) Note: The amplified outputs and the preamp outputs

AT O N AH66T INSTALLATION MANUAL Stereo Zone w/ Mono Sub-Zone If both stereo and mono audio is needed in the same zone, set the AH66T outputs to stereo and use RCA “Y” cables to “sum” the left and right preamp outputs to the amplifier. In the example on the following page, Zone One is set to stereo output using the ATON configuration software and the internal amplifier is connected to a pair of stereo speakers. Since the internal amplifier and the preamp
