Option Description
Mono/Stereo
Setthisoptiontochoosewhatlisteningmodeeachzonewilluse.
• Stereo:Inthismode,audiooutputsaretreatedasapairwiththeLeftandRight
outputsofazone(ampliedspeakeroutputsorpre-outs)areroutedspecicallyto
theLeftandRightaudioinputsofasource.IfasourceonlyhasasingleLeftorRight
connectiontothisamplier,onlytherespectiveLeftorRightoutputswillbeactive.
• Mono:Inthismode,theLeftandRightaudioinputsfromasourcearesummed
andoutputfromboththeLeftandRightoutputsofazone(ampliedspeaker
outputsorpre-outs).Additionally,thiswillseparatethetop(leftoutputs)
andbottom(rightoutput)onthe2pre-outzonesofboththeAD-46-100and
AD810-100ampliers.Thiswilleectivelyprovide4monozonesforusein
variousapplications.AseachmonozonecanthenhaveaspecicDSPprole
applied,thiscanbeusefultocreate4individualsubwooferoutputs.Usinga
DSPprolewithalow-passltertoeliminateallfrequenciesaboveacertain
band,eachpre-outcanthenbeusedinconjunctionwith4ampliedaudio
zonesforcreating2.1channelsetupsinthesezones.
DoNotDisturb
Thisfeatureiscomplimentarytothegroupingcapabilitiesofthisamplier.When
zonesaregroupedwithothersintheGroupingsectionofthisGUI,itmaybe
desirabletotemporarilyexcludeoneormorezonesfromhavingitsaudiosource
orvolumechangeinadvertentlyduetoitsgroupaliations.Forexample,ifall
zonesarepartofa”WholeHome”groupthatlinksallzonestogethertolisten
tothesameaudiosourceatspecicvolumelevels,allzoneswillswitchtothe
speciedsourceandhavetheirvolumelevelsadjustedtothegroup’ssettingwhen
the“WholeHome”groupisactivated.Ifauserinoneofthesezonesareactively
listeningtoasourceanddoesnotwishtobedisturbed,theDoNotDisturboption
canbeenabledthatwilltemporarilyexcludethatzonefrombeingaectedbyany
groupactivationthatitisnormallyapartof,thusallowingthecurrentlyrouted
sourceandvolumetoremainunaectedforundisturbedlistening.
• Enable:EnablesDoNotDisturbmodeandwillnotallowazonefromtaking
partinanygroupactions.
• Disable:DisablesDoNotDisturbmodeandallowsazonetotakepartinany
groupactionsthatitiscurrentlyassignedto.
