Zone 4P Rear Panel
Zone 8P Rear Panel
A standard IEC mains connector supplies the unit with AC power between 100 and 240 volts.
The ethernet socket allows you to connect Zone to a router to give you a wired or wireless control via the Optimal Audio WebApp.
An alarm override ensures that any alarm system will mute all outputs via contact closure.
Up to four (Zone 4, Zone 4P) or eight (Zone 8, Zone 8P) Optimal Audio ZonePad wall controllers are connected via standard RJ45 connectors, using a proprietary Optimal Audio protocol to provide power, data and audio over CAT 5 cable.
Zone 4 and Zone 8 deliver audio to four and eight separate outputs respectively. These audio outputs can be routed to any zone via WebApp. For example, channel one, two and three could be routed to left, right and mono sum for one zone. Zone 4 supports up to 4 zones with Zone 8 supporting up to eight zones, allowing many combinations of zones and speakers as your installation requires.
Zone 4P and Zone 8P differ from the Zone 4 and Zone 8 with the addition of four and eight loudspeaker outputs with the ability to bridge channels via WebApp. More information about loudspeaker outputs please refer to Zone - Outputs
.The SD card provided with the unit stores all settings and system files. It must always be present in the unit for correct operation. It can also be used to copy system setup to another unit if you require a number of devices to perform very similar functions or repeat system configurations across several venues.
All Zone processors have two inputs for future paging stations, again using Optimal Audio proprietary protocol over standard CAT 5 cable. These inputs can also be used for additional ZonePad 4 units.
Two microphone inputs are provided, four stereo line inputs and two stereo HDMI inputs and HDMI thru for video only output.
