SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS
OVERVIEW
This diagram demonstrates the expendability of the ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver. Three ZR-6 MultiZone Receivers are integrated to create a
six-source, eighteen-zone distributed audio system.
EXPANSION PORTS
CAT-5 cables terminated with RJ-45 jacks are used to connect the ZR-6 MultiZone Receivers. One ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver is confi gured
as the Master; the other two as the Slaves. The Expansion In of the Master connects to the Expansion Out of Slave 1. The Expansion In of
Slave 1 connects to the Expansion Out of Slave 2 (See
System Confi guration
section).
SOURCE DEVICES
The audio outputs of the source devices must be routed to each ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver (Master and Slaves). This is best accomplished
using Niles AVDA-3 Source Level Stereo Audio/Video Distribution Amplifi ers (FG00814). When an iPod is connected to the Master chassis,
the Source 2 RCA jacks become cascade audio outputs. The cascade audio outputs are connected to Source 2 audio inputs on both Slaves.
SOURCE DEVICE CONTROL
All MicroFlashers for source device control must be connected to the Master and not the Slave(s). All IR signals from the keypads
connected to the Slaves are routed to the Master via the expansion ports.
KEYPADS
Keypads for the additional zones are connected to the Slaves keypad ports via CAT-5 cables terminated with RJ-45 jacks.
LOUDSPEAKERS
Each additional zone has a “home run” of speaker wire from the Slave ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver to the loudspeaker locations. The receiver
features removable speaker wire terminals that accept speaker wire up to 14 AWG.
EXTERNAL CONTROL
All external IR or RS-232 controllers must be connected to the Master, and not the Slave(s). The control commands are routed to the
Slave(s) through the expansion ports.
