OSD AUDIO NERO VOX ECHO DOT 3RD GEN In-Wall Amplifier

OVERVIEW

The NERO VOX was designed for the Amazon Echo Dot 3rd Generation. CAT-5 cable and a 16-2 AWG power cable are used to connect the NERO VOX to the Wall Plate. Extend these common wire standards to mount the NERO VOX and Wall Plate in opposite sides of the room if desired, up to 300ft, or a remote location like an equipment rack.The NERO VOX wall plate is designed to match the look of standard electrical outlets. Ideal placement of the Wall Plate is next to an electrical outlet for easy access for the power plug. The wall plate has a audio input, subwoofer/pre output, and power plug. The audio input provides a second audio source to the NERO VOX. The subwoofer output provides a convenient location to connect any powered subwoofer to add more bass.
Note:
Any second audio source must have a variable audio output.

• 4-OHM – Connect any pair of 4 Ohm speakers OR any two pairs of 8 Ohm speakers.
• 8-OHM – Connect any pair of 8 Ohm speakers.
  Note:
  NERO VOX will automatically go into Overload Protection if the incorrect impedance is used or too many speakers are connected to the unit. Maxing out the Gain Control may also trip protection mode. If overload protection occurs check the gain and/or impedance to resume normal amp function.
