Connection of the ADA 6.1 to Preamp & Amp
Prior to connecting the ADA 6.1 to your home theater system, ADA suggests having the necessary
interconnects available prior to commencing. ADA suggests using cables of equal length.
The diagram illustrates the ADA 6.1 connected to the Cinema Reference A/V Preamplifier and the
PTM-6150 Six Channel Power Amplifier. Since most home theaters use a self-powered subwoofer,
the PTM-6150’s sixth channel may be available for use as the back-surround power amplifier channel.
If it is not or if you are using a five channel power amplifier, you will need one or two additional
channels of amplification.
When using a six channel amplifier, connect your back-surround speaker(s) to the sixth channel.
While not all amplifiers are stable below 8
Ω
, the ADA PTM-6150 is stable to 2
Ω
per channel. As such,
even if your speakers are 4
Ω
speakers, you can connect up to two back-surround speakers to the
sixth channel.
Please note, that for brevity, the left surround channel is labeled “L”, the right surround channel is
labeled “R”, and the back surround channel is labeled, “B”.
