Output Configurations
{continued)
for any one zone does not exceed 100 watts and the overall total output of the zones does
not exceed 180 watts. As with the direct outputs, best practice is to allow for about 10 -
20% "head room" or extra power. So, the total output power of the speakers connected to
any one zone should not exceed 80 - 90 watts, and the total power output of all the zones
combined should not exceed 150 -160 watts.

In this example we have various speaker
combinations (totaling 17 speakers) con
nected to various zones, none exceeding
more than 80 watts per zone and with a
total overall zone power rating of 140 watts,
well below the maximum total zone power
output of 150 watts.
