The MZ12 amplifier allows the connection of up to twelve independent loudspeaker channels, arranged in six stereo zones. The MZ8 amplifier provides eight channels in four zones. Each zone is designed to provide amplification to one room of a
Connecting speakers
The MZ amplifiers are designed to drive full bandwidth speakers, rated between 4 and 8 ohms. The unit is fitted with speaker terminals that can accept either spade terminals or bare wires. Arcam’s Muso speakers are compact
Single wiring
Single wiring is the conventional wiring method of running a single cable per channel between the amplifier and the speaker; this is the easiest technique.
