Bluetooth Examples of Use
Connection diagrams illustrate how to connect sources via Bluetooth. Possible applications include:
- Cell phone
- Tablet / Laptops
- TV
Some TVs have an audio output system via Bluetooth. If your TV has this feature, it's possible to transmit the audio to the THS 3600. Consult your TV manufacturer's manual.
Connection Examples
Example of using P2 Connector
Select the AUX mode using the 'MODE' key. This setup is suitable for TV/Computer, Tablet/Laptop/iPod connections.
Example of using RCA input
Select the AUX mode using the 'MODE' key and ensure the AUX 2 key is not pressed. This setup is suitable for TV/Computer and DVD connections.
Connect Control Use Example (Long Range Transmitter)
The THS 3600 is compatible with the CONNECT CONTROL, a Taramps long-range remote control that allows operation over wide distances without needing to point directly at the device. The USB port remains functional when using the Connect Control. If your version requires it, use the LEARN function to copy keys from the original control. Note: Connect Control Taramps are sold separately.
Connection Examples - Ceiling Speaker
This section provides examples for connecting up to 16 loudspeakers, each with 8 ohms impedance.
For this type of connection, use cables with a minimum gauge of 1.5mm² for distances up to 40 meters. For longer distances, consult the cable gauge table in the 'Important Recommendations' section. Connections should be made in parallel and series as shown in the example to match impedance correctly.
