PCB jumper location and settings

The Z4

MK3

 and Z8

MK3

 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 diagrams that follow show 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 six 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.
The diagrams also show the locations of the socket for the optional loudspeaker EQ cards.
