Foreword
The Apex dBZ-48 can be used in any situation where one
or two stereo audio signals need to be routed and mixed at
different levels to up to four destinations. The dBZ-48 will find
many applications as a zoner or distribution amplifier in both
live and installed audio situations.
When used as a zoner, any of the four outputs may receive
either of the two inputs at any level, or a mix of them. Mono/
stereo switching on both the inputs and the outputs makes
matching the unit to a variety of sources and speaker systems
simple.
An alternative installed sound application is to use the unit
as a distribution amplifier, to drive rows of loudspeakers in an
auditorium. It is common practice to drive speakers further from
the stage at a higher level, and the dBZ-48 makes setting up
such a system simple.
