NILES AUDIO CORPORATION – 1-800-BUY-HIFI – 305-238-437314
OVERVIEW
This diagram depicts a single Niles ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver installed to provide sound in six listening zones. Each zone includes a pair of
loudspeakers (sold separately) and a TS-Pro, Solo-6IR, or Solo-6MD Master Keypad (also sold separately).
SOURCE DEVICES
The ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver’s built-in AM/FM tuner is always Source 1. A 30-pin cable is included for the plug-and-play connection of an
Apple
®
iPod as Source 2. In this diagram, the audio outputs of three external source devices are routed to audio inputs 3, 4, and 5 on the
ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver.
MASTER KEYPADS
Master Keypads connect to the ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver by home runs of CAT-5 cable. The Solo-6IR Keypad provides basic system
functionality, while the step-up Solo-6MD Keypad adds an LCD screen that supports source device metadata. The TS-Pro Color
Touchscreen Controller is the ultimate interface with crisp graphics and fi ngertip control.
MICROFLASHERS
Niles MicroFlashers (sold separately) connect to the numbered MicroFlasher outputs to provide control over the source devices.
GLOBAL 12V CONTROL
A Niles AC-3 Voltage-Triggered AC Power Strip (FG00242) is connected to the Global 12V Control Output to automate source device turn-on
and turn off.
LOUDSPEAKERS
Each zone has a “home run” of speaker wire from the ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver to the loudspeaker locations. The receiver features
removable speaker wire terminals that accept speaker wire up to 14 AWG. Two pairs of 8 ohm loudspeakers wired in parallel (4 ohm load)
can be safely utilized in each zone without the amplifi er going into protection or shutting down.
ANTENNAS
The included FM dipole antenna attaches to the 75 ohm coaxial connector. The included AM loop antenna connects to the spring-loaded
terminals labeled AM and GND.
