5.5.1 Zone options
On the Zone options page, zones can be created. A zone is a group of audio outputs that, for
example, go to the same geographical area.
Configuration example
As an example, amplifiers that are part of a PRAESENSA system on an airport:
– Audio outputs of amplifier1 and amplifier2 go to departure hall1.
– Audio outputs of amplifier1 and amplifier2 go to departure hall2
Then, a zone can be created called Departure1 to group the loudspeaker lines that go to
departure hall1 and a zone called Departure2 to group the loudspeaker lines that go to
departure hall2.
– Notice that an audio output cannot be part of more than one zone. After an audio output
has been assigned to a zone, it is not allowed to assign the audio output to another zone.
