can 1 keypad control 4 speakers in 1 room?

wiring: spkr wire from spkrs to keypad? or to panel

what powers up the keypad?

@eybaba12345 Yes you can bridge two sets of speakers to one keypad (Or 4ohms to the keypad). To the keypad from head end you would run a CAT5 and 16/2. The high power mode is only achieved if you have the 16/2 run from the head end to the keypad. It's great little system and it hard to find anything with that little cost/zone on the market.

@HomeTechnologyStore bridge the normal way? all +s and all -s together. parallel or series.

the high power mode, would you use that for zones further away or...?

The Encore system has a digital coaxial input on each source and local input and can receive audio signal from any TV (unlike most audio systems that lack the digital connections). The Encore system's keypads power the pair (or two pair) of speakers in each room with stereo audio.

You will need a surround sound receiver to power surround sound system.

Can you connect your TV to the Coax Connection for surround sound?
