INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

DESCRIPTION

The ZA8REC is a zone audio receiver with 8 independent inputs. When used with the ZATRAN (not

included), the Zone Audio system can transmit line level audio long distances over CAT5 cable. The

advantage of the ZA8REC is it allows the installer to elegantly connect audio source components

located in the zone to Xantech's line of multi-room controllers such as the MRC88 and

MRAUDIO8X8.

Balanced differential line driver circuits ensure noise-free connections from audio sources located up

to 300 feet away! The ZA8REC's built-in IR interface allows control of the remotely located source,

and works flawlessly with Xantech's IR distribution components and multi-room controllers.
