EXPANDING A MULTIZONE SYSTEM TO INCLUDE
MORE ROOMS
Many MultiZone systems incorporate multiple rooms within a single zone. The
SI-1650 BusMatrix™ Input simplifies the connections required for this system
design.
As shown in Figure 5, a Niles ZR-6 MultiZone Controller has its speaker outputs
connected directly to speakers in zones 1-5. The ZR-6’s preamp output six, set
to a fixed output mode, is connected to the SI-1650’s BusMatrix™ inputs. The
BusMatrix™ input signals are then routed to all the amplifier channels via the IP
Configuration and Setup Tool. All eight rooms connect to the SI-1650 in Zone #6
with their own room volume control for adjusting room volume levels individually.
