DLA2/4/6 Speaker Level Audio Router  
1. Introduction  
A Simple Concept Reaches New Heights  
The concept is simple and has been around for years - a device that allows you to connect  
extra speakers to your existing A/V or stereo receiver. Push a button - your speakers come on.  
Push it again - they go off. Turn a knob, and the volume goes up or down. Great concept. Good  
exercise, too - especially when your system is located downstairs or on the other side of the  
house. Introducing DLA2/4/6 Speaker Level Audio Routers - the most signiꢀcant advancement  
in the history of speaker selectors!  
Patent-Pending Intelligence & Performance  
No other speaker selector available today is as smart! With its patent-pending design, The  
DLA2/4/6’s pre-conꢀgured settings ensure that all speakers receive maximum power at all  
times, and that your receiver/ampliꢀer isn’t operating below its nominal impedance, which  
can cause some very undesirable side effects.  
Sound Scenes  
DLA2/4/6 lets you create Sound Scenes around your home.Using the front panel of the DLA,  
the optional RF remote or IR receivers, you can turn on groups of rooms - or every room. Kid’s  
room too loud? Use the optional RF remote to turn the volume down in their room instantly  
from the den. At bedtime, turn off the audio throughout the entire house.  
A Simple & Affordable Solution  
DLA2/4/6 connects directly to your stereo receiver or ampliꢀer, making it the affordable way  
to add up to 6 more rooms of music to your system. Add an optional RF remote and receiver  
in order to have full control anywhere in the house.

DLA2/4/6 Speaker Level Audio Router  
Standard Audio/Video or Stereo Receiver  
Most A/V Receivers and Stereo Receivers have two sets of Main Speaker Outputs (typically  
labelled “A” and “B”. While it is certainly possible to connect the DLA2/4/6 to the “A” outputs,  
it is much more useful to connect the “A” outputs to the main speakers (stereo or surround) in  
the room in which the receiver is located and connect the “B” outputs to the DLA2/4/6 in order  
to expand the audio system to additional areas. Figure 2-2 shows the “B” speaker outputs  
of an A/V receiver connected to to the AMPLIFIER INPUT of the DLA2. A pair of speakers are  
connected to the DLA2’s Room 1 Speaker Outputs, while an additional pair of speakers is con-  
nected to the Room 2 Speaker Outputs. In this scenario, the A/V receiver’s speakers play in the  
main listening area, while two additional pairs of speakers play in other areas of the home. This  
is a single-source application: all areas of the house will play the same audio source, but with  
separately controlled volume.  
Note: For best audio quality, ATON recommends that Surround Sound and/or DSP modes  
(Concert, Hall, Jazz, etc.) be disabled prior to playing audio through the DLA2/4/6.

DLA2/4/6 Speaker Level Audio Router  
Zone 2 Output of an A/V or Stereo Receiver  
Certain A/V Receivers and Stereo Receivers have a Zone 2 feature that allows them to play  
a seperate source to a second zone. Figure 2-3 shows the Zone 2 speaker outputs of an A/V  
receiver connected to to the AMPLIFIER INPUT of the DLA2. Like the previous example, a pair  
of speakers are connected to the DLA2s Room 1 Speaker Outputs, while an additional pair of  
speakers is connected to the Room 2 Speaker Outputs. This application allows the A/V receiv-  
er’s Main speakers to play in the room in which the receiver is located, while two additional  
pairs of speakers play in other areas of the home. This is a multi-source application: the Main  
speakers may play one source, while Zone 2 (the DLA2 locations) plays a different source.  
Note: Set the Zone 2 volume level to the point where it achieves the maximum listenable  
level (prior to distortion). The DLA2/4/6’s volume level will adjust up to this maximum  
level.

DLA2/4/6 Speaker Level Audio Router  
External Ampliꢀer  
Some systems utilize an external ampliꢀer for speakers that are connected to the DLA2/4/6.  
In A/V receiver or stereo receiver applications, a line-level output (Tape Loop, Monitor Out,  
etc.) is connected to the external ampliꢀer (See Figure 2-4). In a Pre-Amp/Processor-based  
system, the Pre-Amp is connected to the external ampliꢀer as shown in Figure 2-5.

DLA2/4/6 Speaker Level Audio Router  
3. Connections  
AMPLIFIER INPUT  
Use 16 AWG stranded copper speaker wire to connect from a speaker level output of an A/V  
receiver, stereo receiver, or amplifer. Turn power for the output device OFF before making  
connections.  
To make connections:  
1. Cut the ends of the wire to length, allowing some free play (about 6 inches  
of slack) to allow for movement when physically connecting the wire.  
2. Using wire strippers, remove 3/8 inch of insulation, then twist the wire to  
ensure that no stray strands are evident.  
3. Deꢀne positive (+) and negative (-) at the ampliꢀer end and the DLA2/4/6  
end of the wire run and use the same conductor on each end.  
4. Lift up each ꢁip-lock connector until it is locked in the up position.  
5. Place the bare lead from each speaker wire from the receiver/ampliꢀer  
into the holes of the Ampliꢀer Inputs terminal of the DLA2/4/6, maintaining  
the polarity of each lead (+ to +, - to -).  
Note: To avoid damage to the receiver/amplꢀer, DO NOT allow speaker leads to touch  
each other.

SENSE INPUT Connection  
The SENSE INPUT is designed to provide power status of a connected A/V receiver on all DLATP  
Touchpads. Simply plug an ATON PS2 Power Supply (sold separately) into the DLA SENSE INPUT  
connector and into the switched outlet of an A/V receiver as shown in Figure 3-7. Whenever the  
A/V receiver is turned on, the SENSE INPUT LED will illuminate on all connected DLA Touchpads  
in the system.

PAGE/DB TRIGGER IN Connection  
The Page/Doorbell Trigger Input (PG/DB TRIG IN) needs to be connected when the DLA2/4/6 is  
installed as part of a “sub-zone” of an ELAN® Multi-Room Controller, such as the S8.6 or S12,  
which utilizes an ELAN COM2 Communications Controller. This application allows the DLA Room  
Outputs to pass an audible tone through the room’s speakers at a preset level when the home’s  
doorbell is activated.  
To con\gure the PG/DB TRIGGER IN, simply connect a mono 3.5mm interconnect cable  
between the Page/Doorbell Trigger Out of the ELAN Multi-Room Controller and the PG/DB TRIG-  
GER IN of the DLA2/4/6 as shown below.

IMPEDANCE MATCH DIP Switches  
The IMPEDANCE MATCH DIP Switches are designed to allow various speaker loads to work  
safely with variously rated ampliꢀers. Speakers rated between 4 Ohms and 8 Ohms can be  
matched with ampliꢀers also rated from 4 to 8 Ohms.  
To set IMPEDANCE MATCH DIP Switches:  
1. Determine the average impedance of all connected speakers (listed on the speaker  
or in the owner’s manual).  
2. Determine the minimum impedance rating of the ampliꢀer (listed on the ampliꢀer  
or in the owner’s manual).  
3. Set the AMP DIP Switch to the minimum impedance rating listed on the  
ampliꢀer/receiver.  
4. Set the SPKR DIP Switch to the average impedance of all connected speakers.  
Note: Most speakers are 4 or 8 Ohms. In cases where 6 Ohms speakers are used, place  
the SPKR DIP Switch in the 4 Ohm position.  
Note: When using this setting,  
maximum volume is reduced  
to 10 steps.

Functions of the DLA2/4/6 may be controlled from the Front Panel controls, through optional  
IR Receivers connected to the IR INPUTS, or with the optional RF Remote.  
Volume Settings  
Receiver/Amplꢀer Volume Settings  
Prior to setting volume levels of the DLA2/4/6, proper volume level must be set of the Re-  
ceiver/Ampliꢀer. To set proper Receiver/Ampliꢀer volume level:  
1. Turn on the Receiver/Ampliꢀer and start an audio source (CD Player, Radio, etc.).  
2. Adjust the Receiver/Ampliꢀer level to the lowest setting.  
3. Set the Receiver/Ampliꢀer to Stereo and disable any surround sound or DSP  
modes or “Sound Fields”.  
4. If using a Receiver/Ampliꢀer with “A/B” speaker outputs, select the “B” speak-  
ers and turn off the “A” speakers for maximum output to the DLA2/4/6.  
Note: When the DLA2/4/6 is not in use, turn off the “B” speakers and turn on the  
“A” speakers for normal operation.  
5. Turn on one room of the DLA2/4/6 and adjust the volume level to maximum.  
6. While listening to the room turned on in the previous step, slowly adjust the re-  
ceiver/ampliꢀer volume to the loudest level possible without distortion. Make a  
note of the receiver/ampliꢀer level for future reference.  
RECEIVER/AMPLIFIER LEVEL  
7.  
Turn on each room of the system and adjust the volume of the DLA2/4/6 to a  
comfortable level.  
Volume Status Bar  
The front panel includes a Volume Indicator LED bar with 11 LED’s located above the All On/  
Off and Volume -/+ buttons. The Volume Indicator LEDs display the Volume for whichever  
Room is selected. When a Room is selected and ONE LED is lit, that room is at minimum vol-  
ume. When a Room is selected and ALL LEDs are lit, that room is at maximum volume.

Option #2: DLA RF Remote & Receiver Kit  
DLA2RKT, DLA4RKT, DLA6RKT  
The DLA RF Remote & Receiver Kits (DLA2RKT, DLA4RKT and DLA6RKT) use Radio Frequen-  
cies (RF) to control the DLA system from anywhere in the home, up to 200 feet away. It is not  
necessary to point the remote at the main unit in order for it to function. Simply connect the RF  
Receiver base to the ATON Port on the rear of the unit as shown in Figure C-5. Place the receiver  
in a convenient location; preferably as high as possible. The RF Receiver Base utilizes mounting  
holes to mount the unit to a wall, cabinet or other surface.
