Niles Audio A4.6Ci - Manual (Page 13)

This is the simplest of the A4.6Ci configurations (see Figure 7). It depicts one Niles A4.6Ci MultiZone
Preamplifier installed to provide sound to six listening zones.
Each zone consists of one room with one pair of speakers. One Solo ™ Master Keypad Module or one Select ™
Master Keypad Module is included in each zone for user control. Numeric ™ Accessory Keypad Modules and/or
Transport ™ Accessory Keypad Modules and IR Sensors are added to specific zones as options.
Source Components
The A4.6Ci has RCA audio inputs for connecting four external source components for selection by each of the
six zones.
With this configuration, a user in one zone can listen to one source component while another user in a different
zone listens to a different source component (i.e., the CD can be selected in Zone 1 while the tuner is selected
in Zone 2). Additionally, each of the six zones can be set to an individual volume level. If more than one zone
chooses the same source component, IR control of that source component is shared between the zones.
