Aton DLA2 Leaflet

Start Here

Run all speaker wiring (16 gauge is recommended) and control wiring (Cat5)* to the DLA2/4/6.

Be sure to label the wires for easy identiﬁcation.

Place the DLA2/4/6 in the same equipment location as the Receiver/Ampliﬁer.

Turn off all power to the Receiver/Ampliﬁer and make sure the DLA2/4/6 power supply is unplugged!

Strip approximately 3/8" of insulation from the ends of all speaker and control wiring.

Twist the exposed end of each speaker wire to ensure that no loose strands remain.

* If applicable. Cat5 is used for touch pad and IR receiver wiring.

WARNING! Do not connect speakers to the DLA2/4/6 that have an impedance value lower than what is supported
by your receiver/ampliﬁer. In doing so, you run the risk of overheating and damaging both the DLA2/4/6 and your
receiver/ampliﬁer! Consult speaker and receiver/ampliﬁer manuals for their speciﬁc impedance ratings.

If using a Receiver with "A/B" speaker outputs:

NOTE: When using the "A+B" setting, the receiver volume will need to be adjusted accordingly.

When the DLA2/4/6 is not in use, turn off the "B" speakers and turn on
the "A" speakers for normal stereo/surround sound listening.
