-6 MD keypad and TS-PRO touchscreen
■
Built-in AM/FM tuner with 20 preset stations provides out-of-the-box radio operation
and eliminates the need for an additional component, connections, and programming
■
Five external audio inputs provide connections for both audio and sync
■
Built-in 12-channel digital amplifier delivers 50 watts per zone (25 watts per channel)
to each of the six zones
■
Integrates easily with Niles VS-6 Component Video Switcher (FG01429) to create a
distributed audio/video system
■
RS-232 and discrete IR control for each of the six zones provides seamless integration
with third-party remote control systems
■
IR storage includes two library pages for accessing secondary system commands
such as lighting, drapery, and the VS-6 Component Video Switcher (FG01429)
■
System configuration via front panel controls and wizard/display for quick and intuitive
system set up (programs four additional sources in under 15 minutes)
■
Preamplifier outputs are fixed or variable for zones 4, 5, and 6 making it easy to add
additional power with Niles Systems Integration Amplifiers
®
■
Six infrared outputs (one is global and 5 are source specific outputs)
■
A fifth audio input is available if an iPod is not connected
■
Four 12V control outputs for voltage triggers (1 global, and 3 zone specific)
■
Paging input accommodates voice announcements from a telephone system and/or
doorbell tones from the optional Niles DBI-1 interface
■
Independent bass, treble, and variable loudness tone controls enable the
customization of each zone to optimize performance
■
Rugged, 2U aluminum front panel and included mounting ears make rack mounting
secure while taking up minimal space

System architecture expands to 18 zones via two additional ZR-6 MultiZone Receivers
and 6 video zones via a VS-6 Component Video Switcher (FG01429)

The ZR-6 supports up to three keypads in each zone, ideal for large rooms (additional
keypads sold separately; requires ZR-KE Keypad Expander FG01494)

Zone linking enables the ZR-6 to permanently group up to six zones per chassis: turn-
on, source selection, and turn-off all work in unison, yet each zone has independent
volume, bass, treble, variable loudness control and paging

Phantom home theater zone enables source sharing with independent home theater
system via global IR input
