via a Cat-5e patch cable to the ‘Hub Link’ in and out sockets on the

top right hand corner of each AH10.

In order to share audio input sources with the first AH10, the second

may be joined using Incognito CK10 audio couplers (see diagram).

These double-ended phono plugs simply connect the ‘Loop out’

sockets of the first AH10, to the ‘Audio input’ sockets of the second,

allowing both to access the same sources and distribute them to all

available zones.

Up to four AH10s may be linked together in this way, providing audio
