Applications

This section describes typical applications using the S86A in audio/video distribution and automation
installations. These are all basic in nature and should be used for guideline purposes
only. Each application can be augmented as needed for individual circumstances. This section
is for overall design purposes. Please see Chapter 3: S86A Connections for specific
wiring configurations.

Zone/Sub-Zone Definitions

A zone is defined as an area within a system that has independent source selection ability. A zone may be one
room, or several combined areas. A sub-zone is a part of a zone - it shares source selection - but has inde-
pendent control of volume. Typically, sub-zones use volume controls for volume up/down. Figure 2-1 shows a
typical zone/sub-zone example
