User Manual

Layout identification
Layout identification:
1. Source select
The source select up button (1) is used to select the source for the zone.
Each zone has a separate source selection button. There are 9 selectable
sources: Line sources 1 through 8 and a local balanced audio source.
A different local source (remote in wall mixer or source select/volume
control) can be connected to each zone.
A zone cannot select the local source connected to another zone.
Pressing the source select button will cycle through all zones in sequence:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, L, and OFF. To select the required source, press
the source select button (1). Once the display shows the desired source,
press the ENTER (12) button to confirm and change to the selected
source.
Note:
The source will only change after the ENTER (14) button is pressed. If
the ENTER (14) button is not pressed, the source selection will return
to the previous setting after 10 seconds. When the system is used in
conjunction with remote control panels, the zone source select button will
be disabled when a remote control panel is connected to a zone.
2. Zone LED display
The zone LED display (2) will display the selected source number: lines
1-8 and local input shown as L.
3. Page busy indicator
The zone page busy indicator LED (3) will illuminate amber to indicate a
paging microphone is paging to this zone.
4. MIC1 priority indicator
The MIC1 priority indicator LED (4) will illuminate blue, indicating the zone
MIC1 priority paging function is enabled.
5. MIC1 priority button
The MIC1 priority button (5) will enable/disable the MIC1 priority paging
function. When enabled, MIC1 will override zones 1-8 and all local inputs,
if a signal is present on the MIC1 input. When disabled, MIC1 will mix with
lines 1-8 and local inputs if required. This microphone input has been
designed to give global priority over all other inputs if enabled via the front
panel. The MIC1 priority setting is not saved when the ZM8 is switched
off, and will return to its default state when the unit is powered back on.
The default of the MIC1 priority is disabled.
6. Music volume control
The music volume control knob (6) controls the selected source (zones
1-8 and local input) input levels. If the system is used with remote control
panels, the music volume control knob will be disabled for zones where
a remote control panel is connected. Source music volume level will be
controlled at the remote control panel only.
7. Master volume control
The master volume control know (7) will control the combined MIC1 and
source output volume level, if the MIC1 input has been enabled for a
zone. The master volume control knob will not control the paging console
public address volume level (PM ZM8), or the line 8 source input volume
level when the line 8 source input priority function is enabled. This
function has been designed as a global BGM input if required.
8. MIC1 volume control
The MIC1 volume control know (8) will control the MIC1 input level if this
global mic has been configured to operate within the zone.
9. Monitor zone select
The zone select button (9) is used to select one of the 8 zones to be
monitored. Pressing the zone select button will cycle through all zones
in sequence as follows: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and OFF. A zone can be
selected by pressing the zone select button. Once the display shows
the desired zone, press the ENTER button to confirm and change to the
selected zone.
Note:
The zone will only change after the ENTER button (12) is pressed,
otherwise the source selection will be returned to it’s previous setting
after 10 seconds. The monitor zone function enables the audio output
from a zone to be monitored through a small speaker on the front panel.
This is particularly useful when controlling the audio in a remote zone or
testing the system.
10. Monitor zone LED display
The monitor zone LED display (10) will display the selected zone numbers,
1-8.

The ESC button (13) is used to cancel the selection of source select,
monitor zone select and BGM function buttons.
14. Monitor volume control
The monitor volume control knob (14) will control the built-in monitor
speaker volume level.

zones simultaneously. To confirm the page all selection press the ENTER
button (12).

return the the selected settings when the unit is powered back on.
