Analog (line level) outputs: One stereo pair of unbalanced (RCA) outputs . Speaker outputs: 8 pairs of full-sized five-way binding posts (one pair for each channel in each zone;...
Installation Tips Zone Control The Sherbourn 4Z-75 has two channels of amplification and four separate output zones (four zones; each zone is stereo). The front panel Zone Enable push buttons each independently connect the speakers assigned to one zone to the amplifier outputs; the push buttons toggle state and the indicator LED above each one indicates whether that zone is enabled or disabled.
Configuration and Operation Operating Voltage Verify that the 4Z-75 is configured for the correct operating voltage for your area. (Voltage is set via the Input Voltage switch on the rear panel of the 4Z-75). Trigger and Zone Control Persistence Volume and Zone Enable settings on the 4Z-75 persist when the power is switched to Standby and returned to On via the front panel On / Off push button or by the assertion of a signal at the Trigger Input.
Performance Specifications Analog inputs: One stereo pair of unbalanced (RCA) inputs. Analog (line level) outputs: One stereo pair of unbalanced (RCA) outputs. Speaker outputs: 8 pairs of full-sized five-way binding posts (one pair for each channel in each zone; Channel 1, zones 1-4 and Channel 2, zones 1-4). Minimum recommended load impedance: ANY combination that totals 2 ohms or higher per channel.
