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.
