APPLICATIONS
EXPANDING A MULTI-ZONE SYSTEM
TO INCLUDE MORE ROOMS
Many Multi-Zone systems incorporate multiple rooms within a single zone.
The SC16-50 BusMatrix™ Input simplifies the connections required for this
system design.
As shown in Figure 5, a SpeakerCraft MRA-664 has its speaker outputs
connected directly to speakers in zones 1-4. The MRA-664’s preamp output five,
set to a fixed output mode, is connected to the SC16-50’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 SC16-50 in
Zone #5 with their own room volume control for adjusting room volume levels
individually.
