VII. Expanding Essentia to 12 Zones (Fig. 8)

Six additional listening zones can be added to the Essentia System using the Essentia Expander System, NV-E6GXS. The expander requires the use of the Link RJ45 connection on the main amplifier. This is connected to the corresponding Link RJ45 connection on the expander amplifier. All of the upper zone control commands from the main unit's NuVoNet or RS232 command input are transferred through this connection. The NV-RCA3 Y-adapter cables included with the expander unit allow a parallel connection of the left and right source output to the corresponding source inputs on both amplifier units, fig. 8a.

The expansion requires the installation of the expander Allport included with the expander system. The expander Allport is the connection for the additional zone Control Pads, up to seven, and the additional zone speakers. A second Allport cable must be attached from the expander

Once these connections are complete, the Control Pads can be addressed for a twelve-zone system.

Note: If you are using the Remote (wired) or Wireless versions of the NuVoDocks for iPod, it is necessary to use a female to male adaptor. These are readily available and are not supplied with the NuVoDock system, fig. 8c.
