SYSTEM DESIGN BASICS

As shown in Figure 1, a distributed audio/video system is defined by the number of listening zones it has. Within a listening zone you can listen to only one source (e.g. CD, Radio, iPod, etc.) at any one time. A listening zone can consist of a single room or a group of rooms. To achieve different volumes and greater convenience in different rooms within a zone, individual volume controls can be used. Niles makes volume controls in various styles and colors. When designing your system, take into account who will use the system and when they will use it. Consult your local Niles dealer for more information.
