Connections; Source Audio Inputs - ATON DH44 Manual Del Usario

3. Connections

The DH44 is part of an integrated system that requires the use of other components. Depend-
ing on the system design, these components may include:
• DHTP1 Amplifi ed Touch Pads - one per zone required
• DHSIP Source Input Wall Plates - one per zone where a Local Source is
desired
• DH46X Router - for systems containing from 5 to 28 zones (each DH46X
adds up to six zones)
• ATON Storm Series Outdoor, Ceiling and In-Wall Speakers
• ATON IR Emitters and accessories
This section describes the connectivity between these various components and the source
audio components that comprise the system. Each DH44 system is unique, and not all connec-
tions will be made in every installation.
Important Safety Note: Make sure that the DH44 is powered OFF before
making any connections.

Source Audio Inputs

The DH44 supports a total of four System Sources which are available to each of four zones
and can be sent to up to a total of twenty-eight zones using DH46X Expansion Routers. There
are two types of Source Inputs. Source 1 and 2 have Digital Coaxial and Digital Optical connec-
tions. Source 3 and 4 have three types of connectors: Analog (RCA), Digital Coaxial, and Digital
Optical. For each audio source that is connected, use only one of these connection options.
Analog
Use stereo RCA-type audio patch cables to connect an audio source to the DH44's Source
Input 3 or 4 as shown in Figure 3-1. Use this method for sources that do not have Digital Audio
Outputs.
