SYSTEM DESIGN BASICS

As shown in Figure 1, a distributed audio/video system is defined by the number
of listening zones it has. Within a listening zone you can listen to only one
source (e.g. CD, Radio, iPod, etc.) at any one time. A listening zone can consist
of a single room or a group of rooms. To achieve different volumes and greater
convenience in different rooms within a zone, individual volume controls can be
used. Niles makes volume controls in various styles and colors. When designing
your system, take into account who will use the system and when they will use
it. Consult your local Niles dealer for more information.
