Multiple MZC-88’s can be linked together to provide up to 32 zones (4 MZC-88’s) for large installations. Refer to Section:

PROGRAMMING FOR ZONE EXPANSION
The programming for the MZC-88 Master and Slave units is done in EZ-Tools as follows:
1. Before programming, be sure to have the latest version of EZTools, which can be found at www.speakercraft.com
2. Launch EZ-Tools and create a Filename for a project in the normal manner (i.e., JonesHomeExpansion.etp). This could be
a project file previously programmed for just 8 Zones and the Jones’ have decided to add more zones in an expanded
system.
3. Under Project Content, click MZC-88, then Misc. in the MZC-88 Setup pop up. Refer to Figure 79.

later.
