Introduction: Thank you for your purchase of a Knoll GSZ44 8 channel controller amplifier and congratulations on your choice. The GSZ44 features four deluxe digital volume controlled stereo amplifiers with individual four source selection. This is Knoll's fourth generation of
Each of the four zones or rooms can select any of the four inputs, with individual volume control, bass and treble. Extras such as an external voltage trigger that can turn source equipment on and off, individual zone infrared outputs and many more features give the GSZ44 exceptional value when installed in homes and large complex systems. Except for the power button all controls are rear mounted. A data port is provided for ganging multiple GSZ44's. Infrared signals can be relayed from the keypads to the source equipment.
The GSZ44 is controlled by MR40 keypads.
Four input source selection. Each of the four stereo amplifiers is provided with four input source selection. Selection, volume level, bass and treble is made on MR40 keypads or a Knoll remote control (or a programmed remote control). Rooms can have different source selections, volumes, etc.
Four internal 80 position stereo volume controls. The four zones each require a MR40 keypad. The Knoll RB8 remote control (or a programmed remote control) in conjunction with the MR40 keypad can control each zone. The keypads are typically mounted in the room with the speakers and they control amplifier power on/off, volume up/down and mute as well as source selection.
Cost and size efficiency. The GSZ44 consists of a total of 8 power amplifiers in one
Automatic protection circuitry. Each GSZ44 amplifier channel is individually and fully protected against low impedance, overheating, overloading, over voltage and under voltage. The protection circuitry automatically restores the amplifier channel as soon as its parameter returns to the safe operating area.
Individual bass and treble adjustment. Each channel features adjustments so installers can preset the room for speaker differences and listener preferences.
External trigger. The GSZ44 can turn on and off source components with its 12vdc trigger output.
Infrared controller ports. Each zone or room has its own infrared output jack. An all zone jack is also provided.
Zone 1 has line level outputs so more powerful power amplifiers can be connected to this output. The line level output is controlled as to volume, bass, treble and source selection.
