APPLICATIONS & SYSTEM DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Adding Preamps To Create More Listening Zones

In the ultimate multi-zone system, you would connect six stereo preamplifiers (or a single component multi-zone/multi-source preamplifier) to one SI-1260, creating six completely independent listening zones. Multi-zone systems enable listeners locat- ed in six separate zones to simultaneously listen to different source components as shown in Figure 7.
