The ZPR68-10 is an extremely versatile, rack-mountable Pre-Amp A/V distribution system, distributing up to eight source components through six zones. When combined with EXP9 expansion modules (see below), the ZPR68-10 can be used to control distribution to up to 24 separate zones. Each zone output can be individually pre-programmed to achieve proper volume and tonal balance to compensate for the speakers and acoustics in each zone. The ZPR68-10 is controllable by either IR or RS232 serial commands through any of Xantech's keypad control systems, including SmartPad LCD Touchscreen Controllers, SmartPad3 keypads, or WPK Waterproof keypads.

Features

• Low noise, low distortion, extended headroom design provides outstanding sonic performance in a highly versatile multi-room, multi-zone design.
• Each zone has separate Volume, Max. Volume, Mute, Balance, Bass and Treble functions, all installer adjustable. This permits an "EQ" profile to be created to best compliment the individual acoustics and preferences of each zone.
• Six IR IN control input ports, one for each zone, allows the connection of any Xantech keypad (except Model 598), IR receiver, controller, etc., for system control.
• Zone and common IR outputs permit IR control of zone and/or common components using Xantech 282/283/284/286 series mini emitters or 794/797 interface modules. Each emitter output at the common IR jacks is individually adjustable for high or low IR level.
• Eight separate line level inputs accommodate audio or audio/video sources such as CD players, AM/FM tuners, tape decks, satellite receivers, LD players, VCR's, etc.
• Input Level Matching. The input level for each audio source can be trimmed by the installer to prevent large volume differences when switching between sources.
• A COM PORT, using a female DB9 connector, allows full control and status operations with custom designed panels or computer programs. It is RS-232 data signal compatible. Refer to Application Advisory, Volume 2, Number 1, for details.
