PCB jumper location and settings

The Z4

II

 and Z8

II

 have various internal jumpers, the setting of which may require alteration during installation. Note that there 

are jumpers on both the motherboard and the individual zone sub-cards. The table below lists each jumper and its purpose, 

together with the factory default setting. Note that options selectable by jumpers on the zone sub-board are per-zone, and 
will need to be set on as many zone sub-boards as necessary.

The diagram below shows the locations of the internal jumpers (not to scale) on each of the board types. The jumpers have 

two possible positions; the black square in the symbol indicates the default setting. If any jumpers need to be changed, turn 

the Zone Mixer off and disconnect it from the mains. Undo the 6 screws securing the top cover of the unit and remove it. 

Use a pair of small pliers to gently remove the jumpers from the PCB headers and reposition them. The jumpers on the zone 

sub-boards are readily accessible from above; those on the motherboard will require long-nosed pliers. Refix the top cover 

using the original screws.
