Introduction:

 Thank you for your purchase of a Knoll GSZ67 12 channel 

controller amplifier and congratulations on your choice. The GSZ67 features 
six deluxe digital volume controlled stereo amplifiers with individual seven 
source selection. This is Knoll's third generation of multi-channel, high-quality 
power amplifiers. The GSZ67 is designed to meet the amplifier needs of 
custom installed multi-zone systems where high quality sound is a specific 
requirement. 

Each of the six zones or rooms can select any of the seven inputs, with 
individual volume control, bass, treble and balance. Extras such as an 
external voltage trigger that can turn source equipment on and off, individual 
zone infrared outputs, a fully balanced paging override, RS232 control, fully 
buffered line level outputs and many more features give the GSZ67 
exceptional value when installed in homes and large complex systems. Except 
for the power button all controls are rear mounted. A data port is provided for 
ganging multiple GSZ67's. Infrared signals can be relayed from the keypads 
to the source equipment. 

The GSZ67 is normally controlled by MR164 LCD keypads with or without 
Knoll remote controls or RS232 commands from whole house controllers. The 
paging override is normally used for whole house announcements or doorbell 
chimes. 

  Seven input source selection. Each of the six stereo amplifiers is provided 

with seven input source selection. Selection, volume level, bass, treble and 
balance is made on MR164 keypads, Knoll remote control (or a programmed 
remote control) or via an external controller. Rooms can have different 
source selections, volumes, etc. 

  Six internal 80 position stereo volume controls. The six zones can each 

require a MR164 keypad, RB12 remote control or external controller via 
RS232. The keypads are typically mounted in the room with the speakers and 
they control amplifier power on/off, volume up/down and mute as well as 
source selection. 

  Cost and size efficiency. The GSZ67 consists of a total of 12 power 

amplifiers in one 3-1/2" high enclosure (two rack spaces). Each power 
amplifier channel can deliver 50 watts RMS with peaks of 100 watts. Because 
of its unique design the GSZ67 delivers exceptional value. 

  Automatic protection circuitry. Each GSZ67 amplifier channel is 

individually and fully protected against low impedance, overheating, 
overloading, over voltage and under voltage. The protection circuitry 
automatically restores the amplifier channel as soon as its parameter returns 
to the safe operating area.
