6. Basic Planning and Layout Considerations
• Where will the speakers be located ?
• How will the wiring be routed to each
location ?
• Where will the keypads be located ?
• Where is the equipment located ?
• Where is the CA4.4pi controller going
to be located ?

Connection Tips
• Disconnect all power cords before connecting to the CA4.4pi.
• Verify that all connections and polarity are correct.
• Keep all power cords away from all signal cables to prevent
noise or humming.
• Choose reliable signal cables / patch cords.
• Label all wires with room location at both ends of the wire.
• Take your time!!! Don't panic about the number of wires;
simply connect one at a time.
7. Back Panel Connections
7.1 Source Input Connections
• Your source inputs are located at the top left corner of the back panel. Connect each source output, left and
right, using quality signal cables / patch cables. Label each cable the name of your source and the input num-
ber of the CA4.4pi you have selected. Repeat until all sources are connected. List them down below.

7.2 Speaker Connections
• Keeping in mind the location of the corresponding keypad, connect your speakers by first removing the con-
nector. Using wire strippers, strip back 1/8" of the end of the wire. Insert the proper polarity, left + to left +, left-
to left- etc., until all wires are connected in each zone output. Label each wire with the room name and zone
number. Write down the room name to the zone number below. Note: We recommend 8 Ohm minimum
speakers for each zone. However, as low 4 Ohm speakers can be safely used in up to two zones if necessary.
