Introduction
The MRZ-6 Line Level Multi-Room Controller combines with the Niles SI-1230 twelve channel power amplifier to enable
you to individually adjust the room volume of up to six rooms. One source is fed to all of the rooms from the record out-
put, preamp output or second zone output of any preamp/receiver. Six MRZ-6 systems can be interconnected in single
or multiple zone configurations (up to 36 rooms). Each group of six rooms (one MRZ-6) can be powered by a single Niles
SI-1230 twelve channel power amplifier or by any mix of conventional power amplifiers.
By using optional Niles remote controls, keypads or the front panel of the MRZ-6, you may control room volume, local
room on/off and global system commands (CD All On, Tuner All On and All Off). On the unique Niles RP-9 keypad
two buttons (labeled CD and Tuner) offer one touch intelligent operation; a single touch turns on the preamp/receiver,
selects the correct input and issues one additional IR command (to play the CD or select your favorite radio station). IR
sensors (using hand-held learning remote controls) or Niles IntelliPads are also capable of one touch automation and
can offer full control of up to six sources.
