Introduction
The XDM4600 Xtreme Digital Music system is an expandable,
integrated digital audio distribution system. It offers music and
intercom functions to four zones (expandable to eight) and allows
communication with visitors at the front door as well.
The four zones, the door station, and six audio sources connect to
a single Central Controller. The Central Controller has six analog
line inputs for sourcing music to the system, and communication
between the Central Controller and the zones is digital. An infrared
repeater built into the system allows the audio source equipment
to be controlled from the zones with a universal Remote.
Each zone contains a class-D amplifier and other circuitry to drive
one pair of 8-ohm speakers as well as a local audio source. The
front door chime mutes any music and intercom function that is
playing so the chime can be heard over the speakers in each
zone. Each zone is powered from the Central Controller, requiring
only one power cable to go from a house outlet to the system.
Xtreme Digital Music System Overview
The XDM4600 provides six audio sources to four zones, or rooms,
in your home. In addition, the zone keypads and the Door Station
have intercom functions (page all, listen all, front door
communications) for communication throughout your home. You
can expand the number of zones to eight with the optional
Expansion Controller. The core system kit consists of a Central
Controller (XDM46CC), 4-Zone Keypads (XDM46K), 1-IR Remote
(XDM46R), 6- IR Emitter (XDM46IRE), and 1- Door Station
(DS3B2). Optional components, Expansion Hub (XDM46EH) and
Local Audio Source Wall Plate (XDM46WP) can be purchased
separately.
Zone Keypad
From any Zone Keypad, you can talk and listen on the intercom,
and you can control the music for the entire system (party mode)
or for the local zone only. With the universal Remote Control
(XDM46R), you can control all audio sources from a Zone Keypad.
Electrical Double-Gang Box Rough-In
Mount one side of the double-gang electrical box to a wall stud.
The bottom of the box should be approximately 52 inches, or as
requested,
from the finished floor.
• Do not install the electrical box in non-climate controlled
locations such as outside the house, in outside walls, or in a
garage.
• Do not install the electrical box in stud cavities that contain
other wiring, ductwork, air-return cavities, piping, etc.
• Do not install the electrical box within 18 inches of dimmers,
fluorescent light fixtures, security wiring, or other control
wiring.
• Do not install the electrical box within 2 inches of room
corners.
Wiring Considerations
• Keep all Zone Keypad wiring away from 120/240V wires, dimmers,
and other control wiring.
• The 16-gauge, 2-conductor wire for power supply and 18-gauge
speaker wire enter the electrical box on the left side, when you are
looking into the box.
• The CAT-5 wires for communication and the line-level in/out enter
the electrical box on the right side, when you are looking into the
box.
• Label all wiring: Power, right speaker, left speaker, communication,
line-level in, and line-level out.
• Knot or fasten all wires in some manner to prevent them from
slipping out through the back of the electrical box.
• DO NOT confuse the 16-gauge power wire with the 18-gauge
speaker wire.
Finishing the Zone Keypads
The 16-gauge and 18-gauge (for the speakers), 2-conductor wires
attach to the 1x6 connector. The wire that provides power from the
controller attaches where indicated by the label on the connector – the
solid red indicates the position of the positive wire while the striped
red indicates the position of the negative wire. The position of the
speaker +/- L and +/- R is indicated by the L+, L-, R+ and R- lettering
on the label.
The 1x10 connector attaches to the two CAT-5 cables. On the label, a
heavy black line separates the connection of the two wires. Any
unused wires are cut off. Refer to the connector label for the proper
position of each color-coded wire. From top to bottom, the color code
is as follows: blue/white, blue, green, orange, brown, and brown/white.
This group is for the CAT-5 cable that goes to the wall plate. The
remaining color codes are orange, orange/white, green, and
green/white. This group is for the CAT-5 cable that carries the
controller communication data.
