In Figure 14, Zone 6 has been expanded into four rooms. Each room can be On/Off individually and be set at different volume levels.

The speakers for the master bedroom are connected to the ZR-4630’s internal zone amplifier. A SoloMaster Keypad Module is placed in the master bedroom for control of ON/OFF, source selection, and source opera- tion for the entire zone. However, the volume and mute buttons on the SoloMaster Keypad Module affect the speakers in the master bedroom only.

Impedance-magnifying volume controls enable individual control of the speakers connected to the external zone amplifier in the master bathroom, the walk-in closet, and the terrace.
