EXPANDING A MULTIZONE SYSTEM TO INCLUDE MORE ROOMS

Many MultiZone systems incorporate multiple rooms within a single zone. The SI-1650 BusMatrix™ Input simplifies the connections required for this system design.

As shown in Figure 5, a Niles ZR-6 MultiZone Controller has its speaker outputs connected directly to speakers in zones 1-5. The ZR-6’s preamp output six, set to a fixed output mode, is connected to the SI-1650’s BusMatrix™ inputs. The BusMatrix™ input signals are then routed to all the amplifier channels via the IP Configuration and Setup Tool. All eight rooms connect to the SI-1650 in Zone #6 with their own room volume control for adjusting room volume levels individually.
