IMA6 FAQ

 
 Specifications
 
Required Connections
  • Power - 110V (220V units available for international purchase)
  • RS-232 - Connect to IMS or connect to iQ.SCK for multiple IMA6s
  • Analog Audio RCA Source Inputs - Connect all the source inputs here.
  • Source Input Gains - Trims the volume level for each of the source inputs. Factory settings are intentionally set low.
  • Amplified Speaker Out - 50W/channel - 100W Peak. Use high quality speaker cables to speakers throughout the home.
 Optional Connections
  • Source Loop Outputs - These are direct pass-throughs of the source inputs. (Used for extending to additional IMA for more zones or to a Home Theater receiver).
  • Line Level Out - Outputs a variable signal for use with 3rd party amplifiers and systems. Can be configured in the iQ web control panel (iQ Config > Devices) to put out a fixed level signal.

 Notes
 
  • When designing rack system, be sure to allow for a 1RU Space above each IMA for heat dissipation.  Put in a cool, well ventilated area and do not cover top vents.
  • Source Input Gains - Trims the volume level for each of the source inputs. Factory settings are intentionally set low.
