ZM 2000 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
ZM 2000 is a versatile multi-zone sound system suitable for paging and background music.
The system main unit is available in two models:
-
ZM 2124 includes a preamplifier with 6-zone selection and a built-in 240W amplifier
-
ZM 2100 includes a preamplifier with 6-zone selection (no internal amplifier).
ZM 2124 and ZM 2100 have input connectors for sources and can manage priority and
route the two buses to the system zones.
A system can include just a single main unit (either ZM 2124 or ZM 2100) for a basic
6-zone system.
ZM 2124 is mostly indicated for small systems, where the required power per zone is
limited.
It includes an output level control for each of the 6 zones powered by the internal 240W
amplifier. An additional external amplifier is needed to keep the music programme in zones
not involved by paging.
ZM 2100 allows you to choose either a power-sharing configuration by using one or two
external amplifiers (the second is needed to keep music in zones not paged) for all the 6
zones or to use an amplifier (or more) per each zone.
Up to 8 ZE 2200 6-zone expanders can be added in order to increase the system zones
up to 54.
Each ZE 2200 offers the possibility to either share the main unit music programme or insert
a local source.
All ZM 2124 / ZM 2100 main units and ZE 2200 expanders are based on a dual bus
architecture, where the first bus is mainly dedicated for selective / all-call paging, while the
second bus is for music distribution (or other signals).
All units have a toggle button per zone to turn on / off the second bus (music) and logic
inputs / outputs (GPI / GPO) to interface the system with other devices.
ZM 2124 and ZM 2100 inputs:
-
2 MIC and 2 MIC / LINE (with configurable priority among them).
-
2 local (plus 1 through RC 2946 remote control) selectable AUX on the music bus.
-
1 additional AUX INPUT with priority and sent to the paging bus.
-
A dedicated paging input for up to six BM 2006 paging microphones.
-
An emergency audio input.
Inputs 1 to 4 and AUX have level and tone controls on the front panel.
Paging can be preceded by a selectable chime.
All ZM 2124 / ZM 2100 main units and ZE 2200 expanders can be powered by mains (115
/ 230 V) or 24 V dc. All are provided with 19” rack mounting accessories: 3 rack units for
ZM 2124 / ZM 2100, 1 rack unit for ZE 2200.
BM 2006 are suitable paging microphones to complete the system, with 6-zone keys plus
‘All-Call’ and ‘PTT’. Up to six BM 2006 can be daisy-chained to a main unit.
BE 2012 are additional keyboards that need to be linked to a BM 2006 paging microphone
and each adds 12 zone keys.
One or more BE 2012 are necessary to page zones related to ZE 2200 expanders.
It is possible to link up to four BE 2012 to reach the maximum system capability of 54
zones.
