APPLICATIONS AND SYSTEM

Creating a Low-Cost Second Zone

Using A Dedicated Source

The biggest problem in a single zone system is that when the TV is in use in one room, you cannot listen to music in another room. For a listener who only listens to CD’s it is possible to create a low-cost second zone, allowing simultaneous CD listening while the rest of the system plays the TV (or any source). This is possible with the advent of CD players which have two audio outputs; one variable and controlled via remote control and one which is fixed. You connect the variable output of the CD player to the SI-1230 channels for a particular room where you are willing to listen only to CD’s. The fixed outputs remain connected to the main preamp or receiver so that you can listen to CD’s in the rest of the house. The crowning touch is a Niles remote control repeater system so that you can raise and lower the CD player’s volume from your CD listening room.
