CONNECTING BALANCED AUDIO INPUTS
Each PDA-1408 loudspeaker processor has 4 independent inputs with balanced line-level input for
connecting analog audio sources/microphones. Achieve the best volume for each source by controlling the
input volume via PC software.
CONNECTING BALANCED AUDIO OUTPUTS
Each PDA-1408 loudspeaker processor features 8 independent outputs with balanced line-level output to
enable connection of one power amplifier or amplifier per zone. Connect the output of each zone to a line-
level input of the corresponding power amplifier or amplifier. Control the output volume with PC software and
then adjust the level of the power amplifier or amplifier to get adequate volume in the zone speakers.
GENERAL CONNECTION RECOMMENDATIONS
Turn off and disconnect the speaker processor and all audio system components from power before
attempting to establish any connections. Set volume controls to minimum.
Use suitable and not excessively long cables to make the connections: shielded cables, preferably of a low
capacity. Connect audio sources to inputs. A bad connection can result in noise and interference. Connect
a power amplifier or amplifier to the OUTPUT of each zone you are going to use. You can use 100 V or 4-8
Ω low impedance line amplifiers depending on the type of loudspeakers you are connecting.
Once the connections have been made, connect the devices to the power outlet and turn them on. After
use, remember to turn the power off and unplug the device.
CONNECTION EXAMPLE
Each PDA-1408 loudspeaker processor allows a maximum of 4 inputs and 8 outputs to be connected. The Daisy
Chain and Star Network connections allow parameters to be controlled and adjusted but do not allow signals to
be shared between processors. Speaker processors are configured using PC software.
