DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM
Zone Considerations
(continued from page 8)
What is the performance requirement for each zone? Some zones may only require a keypad controller and speakers.
Some may need an additional IR receiver. One may need a more flexible keypad and a high-power amplifier. A master
suite may require a multi-channel amplifier to distribute audio to the bedroom, bathroom and patio. One or more zones
may have local devices that need to be incorporated into the system for control, audio or video. The DAB1 can be used with
several different Sonance keypad controllers and IR receivers, so you can select the ones that are best for each zone.
