EXPANDING CAPABILITIES
The Q450rs sports some unique features that
provide for larger and more sophisticated
installations. To control any amplifier a larger zone
will require additional equipment. This is an example
that will allow the Q450rs’s flexibility to cater to
larger spaces like bars, coffee shops and large zones
like open design. Usually these are living room,
dining room and kitchens. In a coffee shop, the
kitchen staff can listen to different program material
than the customers, for example. In bars, TV’s can
have their own zones while customers playing pool
can listen to music. An external amplifier or amplifiers
can be used to extend a zone’s size.
The layout below shows two 12 channel KES600
amplifiers (50 watts per channel) powering up to 12
pairs of speakers, significantly increasing the driving
capability of this system.
We recommend an amplifier that will allow you to
adjust the individual outputs like the KES600. Note
that these sub zones are receiving the identical input
that the Q450rs internal amp receives. The source,
bass, treble and mute functions will behave in the
exact same way as the Q450rs integrated amplifiers
do.
This will allow for fine tuning the output volume of
your sub zone so there aren’t spots that are too loud
or too quiet.
In this example, zone one has one speaker pair
connected to the Q450rs. Zone 2 is the same.
Zone 3 is connected to seven pairs of speakers. One
pair is being driven directly from the Q450rs and the
other 6 pairs by the lower KES600. The zone 3 total
output power is 650 watts.
Zone 4 is also connected to seven pairs of speakers.
One pair is being driven directly from the Q450rs and
the other 6 pairs by the upper KES600. The zone 4
total output power is 650 watts.
As you can see, the Q450rs is very versatile.
