ADDING AN EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER T0 ZONE 4, 5 AND 6

OVERVIEW

The ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver is equipped with preampliﬁ er outputs for zones 4, 5, and 6 to connect external ampliﬁ ers.

PREAMPLIFIER OUTPUTS

Zones 4, 5, and 6 have preampliﬁ er outputs used to connect an external power ampliﬁ er. If an area is particularly large or requires a high volume level, it is advised to assign it to zone 4, 5, or 6 and then connect an external ampliﬁ er such as a Niles Systems Integration Ampliﬁ er to provide additional power to the loudspeakers. The preampliﬁ er outputs can be switched between a ﬁ xed or variable level during system setup.

12V TRIGGER OUTPUT

Zones 4, 5 and 6 each have a dedicated 12V Control Output that sends out a constant 12V DC voltage when the respective zone is active. The Global 12V Control Output will send out a constant 12V DC trigger signal when any zone is active. These triggers can be used to automatically switch on an ampliﬁ er equipped with a 12V trigger turn-on, such as a Niles Systems Integration Ampliﬁ er.
