4. Connecting
Connecting speaker wires or input cables
while the amplifier is powered may cause
electrical shock and could damage the
amplifier. Unplug the power cord before making
connections.
4.1 Connecting from source
There are three options when connecting audio
inputs to the CDA-4D distribution amplifier.
Ethernet (network connection)
Network connection is mandatory for setup
and configuration. See section 6 Network
Connection Instruction.
Audio Video Bridging (AVB) connection
Used to make connection to a wired network. Once
Connected, the amplifier will become visible on the
network to other Bowers & Wilkins CDA devices.
see Diagram 6.
Refer to section 7.2.1 on how to setup your amplifier.
Analogue Input
Primary Analogue Inputs 1L, 1R:
Use these inputs for primary audio source.
Secondary Analogue Inputs 2L, 2R:
Use these inputs for a secondary audio source.
see Diagram 7.
Digital Input
Primary Digital Inputs 1:
Use these inputs for primary Digital Audio Source.
Secondary Digital Inputs 2:
Use these inputs for a secondary digital
audio source.
