System Example - Installation for 3 Zones
The diagram depicts a system where four possible
music (or other audio) sources are made available
to three or more zones (areas). Only three are
shown for clarity.
•
Area 1 and Area 3 have remote control
plates installed: an RSL-6 (music level and
source) in Area 1 and an RL-1 (music level
only) in Area 3. These are wired to the Music
Control Ports for their respective zone
outputs.
•
Areas 1 and 2 include LM-2 mic/line input
plates, wired to the Facility Ports of Zones
1 and 2 respectively. These would allow both
a microphone and a portable stereo music
source to be connected in those areas. The
LM-2 also provides music source and level
control; note that the LM-2 does not require
a second connection to the Music Control
Port to enable this.
•
Area 3 has a Cloud PM series paging
microphone, which would be used to
originate voice messages to any of the other
areas. This uses the Cloud Digital Paging
Interface on the Z8
MK4
, which requires only
a single Cat 5 connection. The paging level
to Area 3 (if required) would be adjusted
on installation to be at a level that does not
cause feedback.

Block Diagram - Z8
MK4
(8 zones)
The simplified block diagram above illustrates the basic signal architecture of the Z8
MK4
. Only the routing and logic for one zone output is shown.
The architecture of the Z4
MK4
is identical, the only difference being the number of zone outputs.
•
An existing building-wide paging system can be connected to the “analogue”
paging mic input, and use the contact-closure access connector to page to any
zone. The Digital Paging Interface will take priority in the event of simultaneous
paging from the two systems.
