OSD Audio MI-5 - Manual (Page 6)

Stereo Setup
In this configuration, the mono switch is set to stereo for stereo
operation. Connect the line out jacks from a stereo preamplifier or
source to the Line 2 input jacks of your MI5 Powered Amplifier. Next
connect your speakers to the terminals marked “SPEAKER A”
observing proper polarity (see “speaker terminals” Page 5). Connect
a second (optional) pair of speakers to the terminals marked
“SPEAKER B”. Select between the “A” and or “B” speakers using
front panel speaker selection buttons.
Mono Setup
Setup For Multiple Sources
In this configuration, the mono switch is set to bridged. Connect the
line out from a preamplifier to the right and left Line 2 input of your
MI5 Powered Amplifier. Connect your mono speaker to the terminals
of your MI5 Powered Amplifier, following the instructions in “Speaker
Terminals” on Page 4. Use the “Master Level” controls on the rear
panel to adjust the volume. Leave the balance set to the center
detent position.
In the application shown below, a distributed audio system is
connected to the MI5 Powered Amplifier as a local zone amplifier via
the Line 2 inputs. Normally the distributed audio system will be the
audio source for the MI5 Powered Amplifier.
The distributed audio is than passed on to be used by additional
zones or sub zones in the distributed system via the Line 2 outputs.
The distributed audio is then passed on to be used by additional zones
or sub zones in the distributed system via the Line 2 outputs. The
Audio output of a local source, such as MP3 Player, CD, television,
computer, etc.. Is connected to the MI5 Powered Amplifier via the
television, computer etc.. Is connected to the MI5 Powered Amplifier
via the Line 1 inputs, and whenever the local source is active its signal
will take priority over the distributed audio signal present at Line 2.
However, the distributed audio signal will still be present at the Line 2
input. In this circumstance the audio output of the local source will be
heard via the MI5 Powered Amplifier. Once the local source is turned
off or muted, the MI5 Powered Amplifier will automatically switch back
the distributed audio system as an audio source, assuming the
television is remains inactive. The delay time adjustment determines
when switch back to the normal source will occur.
If you have any questions regarding how to set this up, please call
OSD AUDIO support at (714) 447-9880.
This set up assumes all incoming signals are at line level and not at
speaker level. If the Whole House Distributed Audio was only available
as a speaker Level signal you could connect it the “speaker In”
connections and set the switch above to the “Line 2” position, or
toward the right hand position of the switch.
