Amplifiers
There are two sets of amplifiers for each room. Each room has a:
TOA Electronics M-900MK2 8-Channel Mixer & Pre-Amplifier
Crown CTs 600
To produce audio in a room, both of these need to be turned on for each room.
Amplifier Order
The Lincoln Room amplifier is on top and is #1.
The Skylight Room amplifier is in the middle and is #2.
The Oak Room amplifier is on bottom and is #3.
Amplifier Light Meanings
When the amplifier is turned on, the power light will be illuminated green. (outlined in red)
To send audio to all three rooms, all three amplifiers have to be turned on.
If you only need audio to one or two rooms, you only need the appropriate amplifier turned on.
When the amplifier is receiving signal from an input the signal light will be illuminated green. (outlined in gold)
Amplifier controls
The master volume knob can raise/lower the audio output from all of the input sources for that amplifier. (outlined in green)
To send audio to all three rooms, all three amplifiers Master Volume knobs have to be turned up.
Bass Knob: Leave in middle.
Treble Knob: Leave in middle.
Input Knobs: Only turn on the one(s) that is necessary.
On each amplifier, the following is true:
Inputs 1 and 5 are the volume knobs for the 1/4ā stereo ports in each room. (These can be found in each room and are labeled to the appropriate knob.)
Input 2 is the volume for the CD player in each room.
Inputs 3 and 4 are the volume knobs for the XLR ports in each room. (The ports are labeled to the appropriate knob.)
Input 6 / 7 / 8 are not in use for these rooms. (Leave off)

Audio Issues
The Lincoln room and the Skylight room has solid wood doors between them creating a better sound barrier. The Oak room and Skylight room have doors with full length glass panes, making a terrible sound barrier. Audio from the Oak room can be heard in the Skylight room due to the glass pane doors. Audio from the Lincoln room is not as audible in the Skylight room but can be heard slightly.
