Connection of the ADA 6.1 & AMPx4 to a 5.1 Receiver
For systems using a 5.1 A/V receiver with line-level audio outputs for the right and left surround
channels, you will need to not only process these channels but also amplify them after processing. As
such if you were previously using the amplifier’s built into the receiver, you will need an external power
amplifier to properly continue with the setup. For amplifying one or two back-surround channels as
well as the original right and left surround channels, ADA offers the AMPXx4 Four Channel Power
Amplifier.
Connect the ADA 6.1 to the 5.1 A/V receiver as shown below. Please note, for best effects, use
interconnect cables that are all of equal length.
Connect the ADA 6.1 to the AMPx4. A picture of just these connections is on the top of the adjoining
page.
Connect the speakers to the AMPx4. A picture of just these connections is on the bottom of the
adjoining page.
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”.
