steadmjd Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 EA-3 Controller AMS8 Audio Matrix PAMP8-100 Amp I inherited the equipment above in my new home and I'm having trouble setting up multi-room audio properly. what is the best way to achieve this? I'd rather not have to deal with the C4 app, so I'm trying to create a unique spotify connect for each room. I've added a Spotify connect driver within each room in Composer pro. However, no matter which spotify connect I choose, it will play audio in every room connected to the amp. Any help would really be appreciated. thanks!

msgreenf Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 The right way is to not used a hacked version of composer pro and have a dealer help ERDrPC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopedogg88 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 maybe you have the dip switches set on the amp to link all of the zones to the global input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steadmjd Posted May 30, 2023 Author Share Posted May 30, 2023 My dealer was troubleshooting my system today @ $125/hr. He tried telling me the matrix was dead. I had audio coming from it 20 mins after he left. The amp is not set to global input ERDrPC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4 User Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 So what was the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnicholson Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 In your EA3 connections you only have one output feeding matrix, so you'll only be able to have one stream active at a time. Also, in your Matrix connections, you have assigned volume controls but not audio selection to you endpoint rooms. It should look more like this: Why not pay an expert a few bucks for initial set-up, then you can tweak thing yourself later if needed?

steadmjd Posted May 31, 2023 Author Share Posted May 31, 2023 I figured it out. Although the dip switches were set correctly for zone input. The amp settings within composer were not. Once i set them to zone input i can change the stream to different rooms Do people typically have a Spotify connect for each room, or do they manage rooms via the C4 app? It works well through the C4 app for me. When I switch rooms via Spotify, it doesn't turn off the previous room even though I have it set to in the composer settings. Also, this amp appears to have a few dead zones/channels. Are these amps known to go bad? Thanks cnicholson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I prefer Spotify per room but there is a per project limit of 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopedogg88 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 There was a bad batch of those amps at one point. Perhaps that's why the dealer mistakenly thought the matrix was the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
