Adding Preamps To Create More Listening Zones

In the ultimate MultiZone system, you connect six stereo preamplifiers (or a single component multi-zone/multi-source preamplifier) to the dedicated inputs of SI- 1230. These dedicated input signals are then routed to the appropriate amplifier channels via dip switch settings creating six completely independent listening zones.

MultiZone systems enable listeners located in the six separate zones to simultaneously listen to different source components as shown in Figure 6.
