Application example

The DCM-1 will find application in many types of premises, including shops, bars, hotels, schools, conference centres, offices, 

etc. 
A typical example using most of the Zone Mixer’s facilities is given below.

 Example application

The diagram depicts a system where four possible music (or other audio) sources are made available to three or more zones 

(areas). Only three are shown for clarity. Points to note:

Area 1 and Area 3 have remote control plates installed: an RSL-6 (music level and source) in Area 1 and an RL-1 (music 

 

level only) in Area 3. These are wired to the Music Control Ports for their respective zone outputs.
Area 1 also includes a DM-1 dual mic input plate, permitting microphones to be plugged in locally for PA purposes in that 

 

area. This is wired to Zone 1’s Facility Port.
Area 2 includes an LM-1 mic/line input plate, wired to Zone 2’s Facility Port. This would allow both a microphone and a 

 

portable stereo music source to be connected in that area. The LM-1 also provides music source and level control; note 
that the LM-1 does not require a second connection to the Music Control Port to enable this.
Area 3 has a Cloud PM paging microphone, which would be used to originate voice messages to any of the other areas. 

 

The paging level to Area 3 (if required) would be adjusted on installation to be at a level that does not cause feedback.
