18. L & R PRE-OUT Two, RCA jacks, one pair per Zone, provide left and right line-level audio outputs for driving external
high-power/audiophile two-channel amplifiers in large or outdoor zones or a critical listening zone, or driving a multi-channel
amplifier for additional rooms, (sub-zone expansion) where needed.
19. IR OUT (Zone)
Eight, 3.5mm mini jacks, one per zone, provides dedicated Zone IR output for exclusive control of a specific
zone component. (i.e., a dedicated satellite receiver or DVD player, that cannot be controlled from any other zones).
POLARITY: TIP=SIGNAL; SLEEVE=GND.
20. L & R SPEAKERS
Eight, removable screw-down connectors, one terminal per zone, provide quick connection of the internal
amplifiers to Zone stereo speaker pairs.
WIRE GAUGE: 14 to 24 AWG.
21. VIDEO OUTPUT
Eight, F-type terminals, one per zone, provide a dedicated composite video output for each zone. 75 ohm
outputs provide matched line impedance for high quality video over RG6 cable for lengths up to 500 feet.
22. VC/NVC
Eight, two-position switches, one per zone, switch the PRE-OUT jacks to VC - internal Volume Control (variable,
zone volume controlled by keypads or IR remote) or
NVC - No Volume Control (fixed, zone volume controlled by in-wall
volume control or volume control on an external device such as an A/V Receiver). In either case, the tone control action
remains available for room “EQ” settings.
23.
IEC TYPE AC MAINS RECEPTACLE AND FUSEOne, Standard IEC 3-conductor AC line cord receptacle, connects to included AC
power cord. Also houses the rear panel replaceable AC mains fuse (T6.3AL 250V).
MKP-1.1 FEATURES
The MZC-88 System can be controlled using
SpeakerCraft EZ-Pads, IMKPs and MODE 3.1s.
Keypad configurations vary from system to system
and some parts may need to be ordered sepa-
rately.
Each keypad comes with a set of factory installed
“default buttons” plus a good variety of loose but-
tons packed with them. The default buttons can
be easily changed to meet the needs of the instal-
lation. For more information on changing keycaps,
see: MZC-88 Hardware Installation Instructions. The
MKP-1.1 shown reflects the Source configuration
of the EZ-Tools MZC-88 Default Project. A Function
Module (FKP-1.0) and Numeric Module (NKP-1.0)
1. MKP-1.1 SOURCE/FUNCTION BUTTONS –
When used with MZC-88, six of this set of eight buttons may be programmed as source
or function buttons. The top two source buttons are dedicated to Tuner 1 and Tuner 2 when used with a MZC-88. Any mix of
source/function buttons is allowed on the remaining six, including all source or all function buttons, if desired. All buttons have
an optional green backlight, configurable in EZ-Tools. Default timeout is 60 sec. When a Source Button is pressed, it turns a
low-level red color to show that it is the active source and the system is ON.
2.
KEYPAD EXPANSION TERMINAL This 16-pin header terminal is used to inter-connect the NKP-1.0 and FKP-1.0 modules for
expansion as needed. A ribbon cable is packed with each NKP-1.0 and FKP-1.0 for making these connections.
3.
ADDRESS SWITCH – An unique hex address must be set for each master keypad when connected on a common bus within a
single zone. Unique addresses are not required zone-to-zone. (One keypad per zone.) It provides up to 16 addresses (0 to F).
4. SNAP TABS These tabs hold the decorator style insert panel to the metal mounting plate and are easily released for custom
changing of the buttons.
5.
MOUNTING PLATE – Standard plate allows the keypad module to be attached to standard in-wall J-Boxes using the 2 screws
provided. Allows attachment of standard decorator type cover plates (also screw-less snap-on plates).
6.
EZ-CONNECT TERMINALS – These spring-loaded terminals accept wire sizes 14 to 28 AWG for connection of the following:
+Relay/–Relay – For connection of an optional EPR-1.0 EZ-Pad Relay Speaker Muting Module. See: MZC-88 Hardware
