WHOLE-HOUSE MUSIC IN A BOX

■

Music, Where, When And How You Want It

Enjoy up to

four audio sources in up to four different areas (zones)—all
at the same time. The kids can “rock out” upstairs while dad
listens to the news in the den and mom plays her favorite
CDs outside by the pool.

■

Ever ything You Need

The ZR-4 comes with a built-in

A M/FM tuner; four weather-resistant keypads, a hand-held
remote control, three Infrared MicroFlashers

(for controlling

the audio equipment), and a set of rack-mount ears for
installing the ZR-4 into an equipment rack.

■

Built- In AM/FM Tuner

Unlike most multizone systems, the

ZR-4 has the A M/FM tuner built right in. It plays music right
out of the box without the need for additional equipment.

■

Weather- Resistant Keypads

Install the keypads where you

want, even in areas that get wet like bathrooms, spas or out
on the patio by the pool.

■

4 Ohm Stable Digital Amplifi er

Advanced low-heat digital

power amplifi er design delivers eight channels of robust
power (40 watts per zone/20 watts per channel) with the
abilit y to comfortably drive two pairs of 8 ohm speakers per
zone.

■

Hand- Held Remote Control

Provides advanced control for

the system’s audio sources as well as the local TV and a
second local source, i.e., cable/satellite receiver. It comes
preloaded with the commands for the ZR-4 and many
popular brands of equipment. Unique commands can be
learned by the remote.

■

Plasma/LCD - Proof IR Sensors

Each keypad has a built-in

IR sensor that resists interference from fl at-panel plasma or
LCD TVs. The IR sensor is defeatable for areas with direct
sunlight.

■

Voice Paging and Doorbell Chimes

The ZR-4’s paging

input enables you to connect a telephone system’s paging
output and/or an optional NIles DBI-1 Doorbell Interface
so that it automatically pauses the music and plays through
the system.

■

Perfectly Calibrated Sound

Independent bass, treble,

and variable loudness controls enable you to custom tune
each zone for the best sound qualit y and match room
acoustics from zone to zone.

■

Part y Mode

With a single press and hold from a keypad

or remote control, the user can turn on the entire house (or a
preset number of zones) to listen to the same source, which
is ideal for entertaining or setting the mood.

■

Zone Linking

Program up to four zones so that turn-on,

source selection, and turn-off work in unison. Each zone
retains independent volume, bass, treble and variable
loudness control, which is a great feature for a restaurant/
bar or for adjacent rooms such as a master bedroom and
master bath.

■

Share Your Home Theater Components

The ZR-4 is

designed to intelligently manage source sharing with an
independent home theater system.

■

Flexible Control Options
