19.6 WAM AUDIO CONNECTIONS
The audio of the WAMs are cross coupled to the
other WAMs and back to themselves if circuitry
permits. Connections to external circuits may require
summing and distribution amps, depending upon the
external interface.
When all Switches are co-located approximately
6 to 8 WAMs may be connected as shown in Figure
19-7.

ONE LOCATION
A single WAM connected to a single external
interface is shown in Figure 19-8. This may be accom-
plished by direct wiring. Care must be taken on align-
ment and loading of the external interface not to
exceed line build out parameters or line levels. If this
cannot be prevented then an external summation and
distribution amplifier is required to avoid audio issues
(see Figure 19-9).
