Set Up Zones and Groups Zones and Groups are useful for front panel control of SonaFlex speaker outputs – they are not compatible with third party controllers, which have their own methods of controlling multiple outputs at once. Each Zone may contain one or many speaker outputs, which can be mono and/or stereo. Zones may not overlap. Groups can contain one or many Zones, and their members can overlap, as shown in Figure 14. SPEAKER OUTPUTS ZONE 1 ZONE 2 ZONE 3 ZONE 4 DINING RM LOBBY PATIO GROUP 1 INTERIOR GROUP 2 EXTERIOR Figure 14. In this restaurant example, the speaker outputs are divided into Zones, and two Groups include overlapping members.
