DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM
Zone Considerations (continued from page 8)
What is the performance requirement for each zone? Some zones may only require a keypad controller and speakers.
Some may need an additional IR receiver. One may need a more flexible keypad and a high-power amplifier. A master
suite may require a multi-channel amplifier to distribute audio to the bedroom, bathroom and patio. One or more zones
may have local devices that need to be incorporated into the system for control, audio or video. The DAB1 can be used with
several different Sonance keypad controllers and IR receivers, so you can select the ones that are best for each zone.
Connecting the DAB1
Power Connections (see Figure 4)
PPoowweerr CCoorrdd::
The DAB1 features a removable IEC power cord. Plug the female end
of the power cord into the Power Cord Connector on the Controller’s rear panel and
plug the male end into a grounded wall socket. DO NOT plug the DAB1’s power
cord into a convenience outlet on any other audio or video component.

Note: If you need to use an extension cord, use only a heavy-duty (14-
gauge or larger) extension cord to avoid starving the DAB1 of all the
current necessary for full-power operation.
SSwwiittcchheedd AACC OOuuttlleettss::
Connect the AC power cords of up to two source
components into these outlets. DO NOT modify power strips to fit these outlets by
removing their ground plugs.
Replacing the AC Fuse
The DAB1 has an 8A, 250V slo-blo AC fuse. To replace the fuse, unplug the power
cord from the Power Cord Connector and use a screwdriver to remove the fuse.

Antenna Connections (see Figure 5)
AAMM::
Connect the included AM Loop Antenna to the DAB1’s AM Antenna Connector.
FFMM::
Connect the included FM Dipole Antenna, 300-ohm/75-ohm Antenna Adapter
and F-Connector Antenna Adapter together, and then to the DAB1’s FM
antenna connector.
Note: If reception is weak it may be necessary to use outdoor
or amplified indoor antennas to improve reception. If the incoming
signal is too strong, use a weaker antenna or RF attenuator.
