Multi-Zone Amplifier Controller
ABOUT MZC-64 QUICK START GUIDE
MZC-64 QUICK START GUIDE is intended to provide top-level instructions for Installation, Configuration and
Connection of a SpeakerCraft MZC-64 System. MZC-64 Quick Start focuses on a MZC-64 'default' system, that
is, a basic four zone system that includes up to six audio sources, that matches the EZ-Tools MZC-64 MODE De-
fault_306 Project. This Quick Start Guide can also be used for getting more sophisticated systems started, but
when planning and installing expanded systems with multiple controllers, external amplifiers, multi-room zones
or when changing the layout of the keypad buttons, it is highly recommended that the MZC-64 Hardware In-
stallation Instructions be used for reference and guidance. Additionally, the Hardware Installation Instructions
provide much greater detail in regard to instructions given here. MZC-64 Hardware Installation Instructions are
available as a download from www.speakercraft.com.
Once a MZC system has been installed, it must be programmed with SpeakerCraft's EZ-Tools Programming
Software. EZ-Tools MZC Programming Instructions are available as a download from www.speakercraft.com.
