1. INTRODUCTION The Australian Monitor Zone Mix 3 is an extremely versatile & innovative mixer & signal router. Featuring a broadcast quality audio spec, the Zone Mix 3 allows selection of 4 stereo sources to 3 stereo zones either at the ZoneMix3 or remotely. One stereo source can have selectable priority per zone & each stereo zone boasts 5 stage equalization. The Zone Mix 3 also has the ability to route two independent mic or line signals to any zone or combination of zones.

2. PROG TRIM These four pots control the input trim of the corresponding program inputs. There is no gain from these pots. 3. MIC/LINE CONTROLS There are two Mic/Line inputs. The following controls are duplicated for each input. Gain This controls the gain of the Mic (on the XLR) or Line (on the RCA) input. Bass There is +/-12dB of cut and boost at 100Hz. This eq is shelving type. Treble There is +/-10dB of cut and boost at 10kHz. This eq is shelving type. ZONE OUTPUT SECTION 4.

REMOTE ENABLE This button puts the zone into remote mode and must be pressed in when using the remote control panel ZM3R. When pressed, the front panel program controls (SELECT and LEVEL) will be disable. Control is handed over to the remote control panel.
4. FUNCTIONALNOTES There are many features hidden in this product that greatly enhance its value. However, it’s important to understand how these features work in order to get the best out of the product. PRIORITY INPUTS Sum in Signal on this input will mute program in ALL zones. Level is preset internally and can be adjusted. See Internal Adjustments on page 10. This input can be used to receive an emergency evacuation tone or similar signal.
5. INTERNAL ADJUSTMENT NOTE: To avoid frustration, check this section BEFORE installing your ZM3 in the rack! NOTE: The following adjustments involve access to the inside of the ZM3 and should only be attempted by a qualified technician. All internal adjustments are accessible by removing the lid of the ZM3. Always turn off the AC power and remove the power cord before accessing the inside of the ZM3.
SECTION A MIC 1, 2 NOTE: PCB markings should be noted carefully as MIC2 is a mirror image of MIC1. MIC1 refers to MIC/LINE 1 input, and MIC2 refers to MIC/LINE 2 input. P/P Phantom Power +15VDC. Default is ON. HPF - 160Hz The high pass filter has a crossover at 160Hz and a slope of -6dB/oct. Default is OFF. RELEASE TIME Prog 4 Priority release time trimpot 1sec-25sec - Default is 10sec. See Functional Notes on page 9. Sum Gain Adjust Sum Input level 0dB to Off - Default is -6dB.
SECTION D This section is repeated 3 times (one per zone). MIC1 refers to MIC/LINE1 input, and MIC2 refers to MIC/LINE2 input. See Functional Notes on page 9 for explanation of priority functions. PRIORITY MIC1, 2 Default is EN (enabled). MUTE RELEASE Priority Release Time jumper socket - 0.5,5,15 sec. Default is 5sec. PROG 4 PRIORITY Program 4 Priority jumper socket - Default is EN (enabled). MONO-STEREO Output Mode switch - Mono/Stereo. Default is Stereo.
6. INSTALLATION In its basic form, installation of the ZM3 is simply a matter of mounting the unit in a rack, connecting sources to the appropriate inputs and connecting zone outputs to power amplifiers. The power supply should be securely mounted, and connected to the ZM3.
zone or individual sends on a mono zone. There is no need to enable the rear panel remote switch unless an ZM3R is also being used. For Stereo the RC1 should be wired between pin 5 and pins 7 and 8 shorted together. If each output is being used as an individual sub zone send then one RC1 can be wired between pin 5 and pin7 (for Right sub zone send) and another RC1between pin 5 and pin 8 (for Left sub zone send). The zone should be set to MONO, see Internal Adjustments on page 10.
7. STEP BY STEP SETUP NOTE: To avoid frustration, check the Internal Adjustments section BEFORE beginning setup! The inputs of the ZM3 can accommodate a wide range of sources including active paging stations, dynamic microphones, DVD, CD players & DJ mixers. The zone outputs may be used to drive stereo power amplifiers, mixers, or mixer amplifiers.
8. PAGING STATION Introduction The ZM3M is a slim line paging microphone that provides the user the ability to page into any combination of zones from a remote location. Running both audio & data down inexpensive & industry standard CAT5 cable the ZM3M is simple to install. Controls 1 ZONE select These buttons, when pressed, will page to that zone. With the button held down, talk into the microphone. There is a label space to the right of the button to allow labelling of the zone. 115.
Installation and Setup The CAT5 cable connects to the RJ45 socket on the rear panel of the paging station. This socket is a NEUTRIKTM connector designed to be used with the XLR style housing (model NE8MC) to improve reliability. Normal RJ45 connectors can also be used. CABLE INSTALLATION FOR PAGING STATION The RJ45 port (labelled Page Mic) on the rear of the ZoneMix3 is provided for connection to a ZoneMix3 Zone Paging Station, ZM3M.

It features ample label space and a contemporary black decor.
Installation Remote control is achieved via the rear panel RJ45 (CAT5) socket. Connection is via CAT5 cable and a distance of up to 1000m is guaranteed. A straight through wired Cat5 cable (not a crossover cable) should be used (wired pin1 to pin1, pin2 to pin2 etc) Connect to the ZM3R RJ45 socket on the back and to the zone remote RJ45 on ! the rear of the ZM3. Press the remote enable switch on the rear panel of the ZM3.
