TILIZING THE Z

SERIES

SYSTEM IN

COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS

The Z•630 Page & Doorbell Input can be used with a

powered (line-level) microphone making it a natural for

zoned audio distribution in restaurants, cafes, pubs, offices

and warehouses where paging (in addition to multi-source/

multi-zone music), is desired.

In the example below, a restaurant is set up for three

zones. Both dining areas receive uninterrupted music from

independent sources, while the Bar/Waiting Area receives

music from a third independent source which will be

interrupted whenever a page (“Jones party of three, your

table is ready...”) is activated.

Source equipment, Z•Series components, keypads, and

volume controls can be located in a back room or behind

the bar for easy access to source control, level adjust-

ments, and paging.

NOTE: Always be sure to maintain the minimum load

specification of the amplifier. Multiple Impedance

Magnifying volume controls may be necessary (minimum

load on the volume control is 4 Ohms; minimum load on

the amplifier is 8 Ohms.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Always maintain an 8 Ohm load at

the amplifier. If more than one pair of 8 Ohm speakers is

to be connected in parallel to a given amplifier’s output,

Impedance Magnifying volume controls must be utilized.

INSTALLATION TIP:In Zones where you would not

like the Paging signal to interrupt the music (i.e. a

restaurant’s dining area), be sure to press DND (Do-

Not-Disturb) on the keypad in that zone .

Figure 3.7 - A typical three zone system installed in a restaurant. Zone 1 has DND disabled, while Zones 2 and 3

have DND enabled so the partons will not hear the Paging. Additionally, Impedance Magnifying volume controls are

used to enable two pairs of 8 Ohm speakers to be connected in parallel and still show the amp an 8 Ohm load.
