Example wiring diagram + explanation

Example wiring/usage diagram

Using the MHUB Music Input Adapter to add an audio source to MHUB or MHUB S (A) system.
The MHUB Music Input Adapter provides the ability to add audio input sources (e.g a Sonos Port) to an existing MHUB S or MHUB (A) system. It works by converting digital or analogue audio signals, from any audio source, into HDMI so that it can be managed and routed by MHUB. From MHUB, audio can be extracted to local amplifiers and volume can be changed from uControl or 3rd party controllers negating the need for separate audio distribution hardware.

Note: As per the diagram, it is not possible to be watching TV and listening to music audio at the same time. To achieve this please consider MHUB + MZMA audio hardware instead.

Alternative use as an audio embedder:

MHUB Music Input Adapter can also be used as an HDMI audio embedder to overlay alternative audio over a HDMI video signal, especially suitable for commercial applications.
