used to broadcast a message to all zones. Additionally each Amplifier is
capable of accepting a local stereo audio input, providing up to seven
stereo audio channels for each Amplifier.
By adding infrared (IR) targets and emitters to the system, Amplifiers can
distribute infrared remote control signals to audio source equipment via
the Matrix Switcher. Additionally two buttons on a C-Bus wall switch can
be configured to send infrared commands to the audio source equipment;
commands which adapt according to which source is selected.
4.0 System Configurations
A Multi Room Audio system can be installed in either a matrix or
standalone configuration.
4.1 Matrix
A matrix configuration (Figure 2) consists of a Matrix Switcher which is
connected to one or more Multi Room Audio Amplifiers. An Amplifier
connected to each zone can select from up to six stereo audio sources
plus its local stereo audio input. The audio broadcast and annunciation
features of the Matrix Switcher can be utilised in this configuration.
