ZonePad 1 gives the user the ability to control the selection and volume of up to six audio sources in a system from the zone, or room , in which the ZonePad is mounted. In other words, if you have installed Zone 4 in an office along with a streamer and a DAB radio for example, ZonePad 1 allows you to choose either the streamer or the DAB and adjust the volume of that source from within the room in which it is being heard.
Just select the source you require on the ZonePad 1 from one of the six Source Selector buttons, check that the centre of the volume button reads 'MUSIC', adjust the volume knob up or down and you're sorted. The illuminated graduations around the outside of the knob will give you a visual reference for your desired volume.
In addition, any microphone that is plugged into the system locally can be selected by pressing the centre disc of the volume button, where the word 'MUSIC' will be illuminated. The word 'MIC' will light up on the disc and you can adjust the microphone level. Press it again and you will see the word 'MUSIC' reappear, giving you control over the selected music source again.
A local source would be located in the same room as ZonePad and connected directly to ZonePad. This could be a wall socket for audio for a laptop presentation, or any line level source. Select local source and the volume control will now be available to adjust the level.
ZonePad 1 is connected to Zone by CAT 5 cable and RJ45 connectors, and fits into a standard UK sized wall box cutout.
