Operation Manual

2.0 CASCADE 2 ZONES

• Feed source signal to any of inputs 1 to 5, selected to go to Zone 1 (and set input gain as normal).

• Set Zone 1 speaker EQ OFF and send Zone 1 output to Subwoofer.

• Feed Zone 1 output also to input 6.

• Select input 6 to go to Zone 2. Input 6 gain should be set at an intermediate level (see * below)

• Set Zone 2 speaker EQ ON and send Zone 2 output to the full-range speaker.

• Set Zone 2 volume to maximum – and x it there.

• Zone 1 volume is the “master” control for both outputs.

Advantages: Does not require WMC or special RJ-45 cable

Disadvantages: • The full-range audio signal passes through 2 ADC-DAC systems (resulting in a slight increase in noise

and distortion)

• Source 6 input gain must be specially set

• Operation is not intuitive

• Requires Zone 2 volume and input select controls to be xed (e.g. taped)

* In order to optimise dynamic range, Input 6 gain control should set to produce x1 gain between Input 6 and Zone 2 output (with Z2 Zone

volume at Maximum). If a test signal and AC meter are not available, this can be done approximately using the following procedure.

• Set the input 6 gain to maximum

• Turn gain down until slot in gain control is horizontal
