OUTPUT CHANNELS
The output channels represent the fundamental elements of the audio system: in the final analysis they can be
considered like installed speakers.
In the software, each channel has a color associated with it: when a specific channel is selected, the graphic interface
elements that concern it take up that same color.
The image below shows the settings panel for the selected output channel.

Output channel name:
the user can customize the channel
by assigning it a name that describes it.

It is recommended to disable all unused output channels.
Listening zones:
a channel can belong to one and only one
listening zone. The output panel displays only the
channels of the current selected zone.
Groups:
a channel can belong to one or more groups.
A group of output channels shares a common group volume.

channels belonging to the same zone. The effect of this link

equalizer of the selected channel are also reflected on the
linked channels.

configuration.

a disabled channel is hidden and no longer appears in any of the graphical
interface references.
Loudspeaker position panel:
