APPLICATIONS & SYSTEM DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Utilizing the Dual BusMatrix
™
Input
Many MultiZone systems incorporate multiple rooms within a single zone. The
SI-1260’s Dual BusMatrix
™
Input simplifies the connections required for this sys-
tem design. As shown in Figure 8, a Niles A4.6Ci MultiZone Controller has its first
and second zone outputs connected to the SI-1260’s Dual BusMatrix
™
#1 and #2
inputs respectively. Bus Input #1 is then routed to amplifier channels one through
six via dip switch settings. Bus Input #2 is routed to amplifier channels seven
through twelve in the same manner. Six rooms can now be connected to the SI-
1260 placing three rooms in Zone #1 and three rooms in Zone #2. The remain-
ing zone outputs on the A4.6Ci can be connected to another SI-1260 for more
zones.
