Setting the Output level
It’s always a good idea to start with all the Zone Volume
controls turned all the way down (fully counter-clockwise).
Then, follow these steps.
• Once you have a signal playing in the input, assign the
input to a zone.
• Now, slowly raise the LEVEL control until you get to
the desired level and look for the level display on the
zone output meter (appoximately 0 VU on the output
meter).
Controlling the Zone Outputs
The S zone has four output zones, which are controlled
using the four ZONE output strips located on the right
side of the front panel. Each Zone Output has its own level
control, output meter and two-band equalizer. You can
adjust the overall volume using the Level control and even
apply some basic equalization to contour the frequency
response of the speaker system when necessary. You can
also add a label for the zone name using a grease pencil or
removable label on the Zone Output Scribe Strip.
Setting the ZONE OUTPUT for Stereo or Mono
Operation
The S zone is a stereo device and thanks to the STEREO/
MONO switch you can set any of the ZONE OUTPUT’s to
send either stereo or mono signals. In many installations,
it is desirable to run mono sound zones since the sound
is being distributed through several speakers and there is
no one position. In other situations like around a cocktail
lounge, perhaps a disco/karaoke dance floor in a restau-
rant or an outside patio in a home installation, you may
want to run a stereo sound zone.
