3.3 CREATING

ZONES WITH

SUB-Z

ONES

The dip switches located on the front of the Z•630 enable

you to easily configure zones with sub-zones. When

moved to the UP position, these zone-specific dip switches

disable the VOLUMEUP/VOLUME DOWN buttons on the

keypad and independently “FIX” the output level for each

zone at maximum.

SUB-ZONE C

ONTROL

When the dip switches are in the DOWN or “VARIABLE”

position, pressing VOLUME UP/VOLUME DOWN on the

keypad would not only raise or lower the volume in the

main zone, but would also affect the volume levels in other

rooms that are a part of that zone (sub-zones).

Should the volume on a keypad be turned all the way

down, no level would be available at any of the sub-zone’s

volume controls. By setting the output level to FIXED,

audio will always be present at the volume controls. This

configurations does, however, require that a volume

control be installed in the main zone as well.

In this scenario below, Zone 1 is a stand-alone; Zone 2 is

a stereo zone with a stereo sub-zone; and Zone 3 is a

mono zone with three mono sub-zones. Note that the dip

switches for Zones 2 and 3 have been moved to the UP or

“FIXED” position.

Make sure to maintain proper impedance loads at the amplifier.

In this diagram, Zone 2 would require impedance matching

stereo volume controls set at 2x, and Zone 3 would require

impedance matching mono volume controls set at 2x (assum-

ing all speakers are 8 ohms).

NOTE: Set Dip Switches 2 and 3

to the UP position to FIX the line

outputs of zones 2 and 3
