Operation

Zone operation

Each zone (except Zone 1) has an input switch. This switch allows the input for the zone to be taken from either the corresponding zone input or the zone 1 input. This allows for the input to zone 1 to be sent to multiple loudspeaker pairs. Switch all input switches to Zone 1 if you require the same stereo source to be reproduced in all zones. Note that if the input switch is set to the other position, then the zone will require its own stereo source (preamplifier or stereo music system). Examples of different setups are shown below:

Each channel of each zone has a trim control. This recessed control allows each speaker’s volume to be adjusted using a small flat blade or cross-head screwdriver and is ideal for compensating for differences in sensitivity between different speaker types. For everyday volume adjustment, it is recommended to connect source equipment with an adjustable output such as the Arcam C31 preamplifier or Solo Music system.
