Niles Audio SI-1260 manual Utilizing the Dual BusMatrix Input

Utilizing the Dual BusMatrix™ Input

Many multi-zone systems incorporate multiple rooms within a single zone. The SI-1260’s Dual BusMatrix™ Input simplifies the connections required for this system design. As shown in Figure 8, a Niles A4.6Ci Multi-zone Controller has its first and second zone outputs connected to the SI-1260’s Dual BusMatrix™ #1 and #2 inputs respectively. Bus Input #1 is then routed to amplifier channels one through six via dip switch settings. Bus Input #2 is routed to amplifier channels seven through twelve in the same manner. Six rooms can now be connected to the SI-1260 placing three rooms in Zone #1 and three rooms in Zone #2. The remain- ing zone outputs on the A4.6Ci can be connected to another SI-1260 for more zones.
