Product Overview
The PR-4Zi is a four-zone, six-source A/V pream-
plifier that offers independent control of source,
volume, and tone for each zone. In addition to
standard preamplifier controls, the PR-4Zi allows
zone settings to be stored and recalled. SYS-
TEM ON and SYSTEM OFF functions provide sin-
gle-button, system-wide on/off control. Two
PARTY modes link all zones for synchronous
operation. Interface connections are provided for
cascading as many as four PR-4Zis. An RS-232
port allows the PR-4Zi to be controlled by touch
panels or other automation devices that have an
RS-232 interface. Optional Russound PCK or
PCK-IR Keypads provide easy remote operation
of the PR-4Zi. The optional Russound PRC-1
Learning Remote allows users to operate source
equipment from remote locations. Optional
Russound SPG and PTM-1 Paging Modules add
whole-house paging capabilities.
