Stereo Zone w/ Mono Sub-Zone

Rooms with no definite listening area (kitchens, hallways, L-shaped rooms, for example) are ideal for mono
configuration. Use a male-to-male RCA "Y" cable to combine the Left and Right Zone Pre-Amp Outputs to create a
mono sub-zone. The main zone ramps volume up/down at preamp level using IR or RS-232 commands sent from a
keypad, Olé Touchpad, or VIA! Touch Panel, while the sub-zone ramps volume up/down at speaker level using a
volume control. Although the subzone has independent control of volume, it always shares the same source with
the main zone. If using an ELAN electronic volume control in the sub-zone, system and source control is possible
using a hand-held remote control. Figure 2-4 shows a typical example showing a stereo zone with a mono
sub-zone.
