Application
3.
The ZMX8210 is a user-friendly rack mixer which is principally
used for fixed installations to direct public address in different
zones or facilities, such as cafés, practices and houses of wor
-
ship. With one unit, you can provide a maximum of three zones
with different signals.
In case you need to use further signals, simply link to units to-
gether. The ZMX8210 can handle line-level sources, dynamic
microphones and phantom-powered capacitor microphones as
input signals.
Examples of application
3.1
In comparison to conventional rack mixers, the ZMX8210 offers
several advantages for fixed installations and PA equipment that
is being used by laymen. With the Euro-type connectors and the
easy usability, the ZMX8210 optimally fulfills the requirements of
these kind of applications.
Directing public address to up to three zones
3.1.1
The following application example shows a typical cabling of three
zones in mono mode. Distribute the signal to zones 1 – 3 by using
the routing switches (L, R, AUX) of the particular input channel.
Instead of three independent mono zones, it is also possible to
have one stereo zone (LEFT / RIGHT bus) and one mono zone
(AUX bus).
Using multiple ZMX8210s
3.1.2
In case the eight input channels of the ZMX8210 are not enough,
you can link two units together by using the BUS LINKS connec
-
tors. The output buses of the two units
are connected by routing
the input signals of both units to the output buses. This gives you
additional inputs.
The output signal can be on both units. To use two units together,
please complete the following steps:
