Stereo Zone w/Two Mono Sub-Zones
Expanding zones by using mono sub-zones is a great way to save money and amplifier channels. This application
uses a total of four amp channels to create three separate areas with independent volume control. As in previ-
ous examples, a source can be selected and controlled from the keypad or touch panel in the main zone. Volume
up/down in the main zone is controlled the same way. Sub-zone volume is controlled from the individual volume
controls in each sub-zone. Sources can be controlled from a hand-held IR remote control if using electronic volume
controls in the sub-zone.
Please note that an RCA 'Y' cable must be used from the zone's Fixed Zone Audio Output to an Input 1 L of an
ELAN D660. This cable creates a mono signal. Connect the Output 1 L of the same Channel to Input 1 R. Now, the
same audio plays out of Speaker Output 1 R and Speaker Output 1 L. A mono volume control is connected to each of
these speaker outputs to create two mono sub-zones.
