The Australian Monitor ZoneMix3 is an extremely versatile and innovative mixer and signal router. Featuring a broadcast quality audio spec, the ZoneMix3 allows selection of 4 stereo sources to 3 stereo zones either at the ZoneMix3 or remotely. One stereo source can have selectable priority per zone and each stereo zone boasts 5 stage equalisation. The ZoneMix3 also has the ability to route two independent mic or line signals to any zone or combination of zones. Add to this remote volume controls in each zone and the ZM3M 3 zone paging microphone (both running via inexpensive CAT-5 cabling) and you have an extremely high quality zone selecting mixer at a fraction of the cost of other products in this market. MIC/LINE Inputs There are two MIC/LINE inputs. The balanced XLR inputs accepts mic level signals. The dual RCA inputs accept line level inputs and are summed to mono internally. Gain and EQ are controlled from the front panel. These inputs supply 15V phantom power, unless internally disabled. These inputs may have priority over program inputs, if this feature is enabled. PROG INPUTS There are four program inputs. These are stereo RCA line level inputs. Trim is controlled from the front panel. LINE4 is a priority input, if this feature is enabled. PAGE INPUT There is an RJ45 connector on the rear of the unit accepts a CAT-5 cable from the optional ZM3M Paging Station. SUM INPUTThis input has overall priority and is usually used for an emergency tone or message. There are 3 Stereo Zone balanced XLR Outputs. The zone outputs are configured as stereo left and right as default but can be internally changed to mono. Two ZoneMix3 Units can be linked together to provide six stereo zone outputs. A “status” LED gives an indication of OUTPUT signal. It glows green at -30dB and red at 0dBV (1V). This is meant to indicate clip within the ZoneMix3. When used with Australian Monitor Synergy amplifiers, both LEDS on the ZoneMix3 and the Synergy amplifier will go red simultaneous indicating system clip (with pot at full on the amplifier). A “remote” LED indicates that the zone is in remote control mode. A “power” LED indicates there is power to the unit.
