Connecting the S zone

Get Connected !

The S zone’s rear panel is where you will find all (except the headphone jack) of the input and output connections. The S zone provides four input channels that can accept up to four line level sources and two microphones and four output channels to feed the sound zones. The connections for these inputs and outputs are made via standard Eurob- lock connectors (the mating ends to connect to your wires have been included). The Euroblock connectors are easy to wire-up; just strip your wire, insert it into the Euroblock connector and tighten down the screws. The next section of this manual will detail the connections for the S zone’s inputs and outputs.

Next connect your line inputs to channels 2 using the wir- ing guide below.

These inputs are set to accept –10 dBV levels, which is the standard for devices like most CD and DVD players.

Now connect your line inputs to channels 3 and 4 using the wiring guide below.

Connecting the S zone Inputs

After you have designed a plan for your installation you will need to connect your audio sources to the S zone’s inputs. You may want to connect several devices like microphones for paging, and other line level devices like CD, DVD, MP3, TAPE or Karaoke players or perhaps a radio tuner. Regardless of the sound source, it’s important to connect the inputs properly. Follow the section and wiring diagrams below to connect your input sources.

The microphone inputs accept low impedance (100 to 600 ohms) balanced or unbalanced microphones.

Connect your microphones to inputs channel 1 and 2 us- ing the following wiring guide.

Note: The S zone always provides 15 volts of phantom power to the microphone inputs so you’ll have no problem using just about any condenser microphone. Dynamic microphones can be connected as well.
