What does this Application do?
This application covers the use of a MRC-6430 amplifier to distribute six audio sources to six zones. Zones 5 & 6 are shown
integrated with a Niles 12 Channel amplifier, allowing sub-zoning and more power for those areas that need it. This application
utilizes two infrared controllable sources and one IP controllable source.
Key Considerations
Global Features Include:
Whole House Mode (WHM) -
End-users can fill the house with music from an easy-to-use Settings screen.
All Zones Off -
Pressing the OFF button from any zone allows for just that zone or for all zones to be turned off.
Paging -
Allows front and rear door doorbell chimes from the DBI-2 or paging from a phone system, or both, to be heard through
the speakers in pre-configured zones. The zones of the MRC-6430 that are on will mute so the doorbell/page can be heard.
The zones that were off will turn on so the doorbell/ page can be heard. When the page is completed, zones that were on will
automatically begin playing music again and the zones that were off will again turn off.
Zone Features Include:
Volume Turn-On, Source Level, Bass, Treble, and Variable Loudness -
Each zone can have its own custom tailored sound.
Zone Control Recommendations:
Light Usage Rooms -
nKP7 7-button keypad recommended – Provides basic system control, including One Touch to
Entertainment and play-lists or streaming services. nKP7 provides simple preset access to preferred content on four channels,
plus the ability to raise and lower the volume and power down a zone or the system.
Medium Usage Rooms -
nKP7 or Mobile device control: iOS and Android applications control the Niles MRC-6430 to queue
up soothing sounds at a moment’s notice.
Heavy Usage Rooms -
nTP7 7” touchscreen recommended – Provides easy-to-read control through a color touchscreen.
Additionally, the nTP7 can access and control other zones.
