1. INTRODUCTION

The Australian Monitor Zone Mix 3 is an extremely versatile & innovative mixer & signal router. Featuring a broadcast quality audio spec, the Zone Mix 3 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 & each stereo zone boasts 5 stage equalization. The Zone Mix 3 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 & the ZM3M 3 zone paging microphone (both running via inexpensive CAT5 cabling) and you have an extremely high quality Zone selecting mixer at a fraction of the cost of other products in this market.

4. FUNCTIONALNOTES

There are many features hidden in this product that greatly enhance its value. However, it’s important to understand how these features work inorder to get thebest out ofthe product.

PRIORITY INPUTS Sum in

Signal on this input will mute program in ALL zones. Level is preset internally and can be adjusted. See Internal Adjustments on page 10. This input can be used to receivean emergency evacuation tone or similar signal.

Page mic

If the optional ZM3M Paging Station is connected to the system, paging signals will mute program in the zones selected on the ZM3M only.

Mic/Line 1,2

These inputs are set up to mute program. This will only occur if the input is selected into the zone on the front panel. Priority can be disabled for each input, on a per-zone basis (See Internal Adjustments on page 10). If disabled these inputs are mixed with the program sources into the zone outputs, as selected on the front panel. For example, if Zone 2 is a Bistro and a microphone in the servery is connected to MIC/LINE 1 input and selected in Zone 2, the program would duck in this zone ( default) selected in Zone 3, MIC2 priority should be disabled in Zone 3 so that the microphone will mix with the program source .

Release time

All of the above priority inputs (Sum, Page, Mic/Line) share a common priority level. The release time (for program to come back up) may be selected on a per-zone basis. See Internal Adjustments on page 10.

Prog 4

In venues with a Juke box, the Jukebox should over-ride (mute) any other background music sources that are selected. The LINE4 input is used for this. With this feature enabled, when signal appears on LINE4 it will automatically be selected even if not selected on the front panel or remote control panel. PROG4 priority may be enabled on aper-zone basis. See Internal Adjustments on page 10. It is undesirable to cut back to other BGM between tracks, so a separate release time adjustment is available for PROG4, with a range of 1-25 seconds (common to all zones). See Internal Adjustments on page 10.

. However if Zone 3 is a bar and a karioke microphone is connected to MIC/LINE 2 input and

MIC1 priority is enabled in Zone 2 by

LINKING

If 3 zones is not enough, two ZM3s can be connected together using a single cable in a Master-Slave configuration and enabling this feature. See Internal Adjustments on page 10. The Master unit will accept all the input sources (both Mic/Line inputs and program inputs), and these will be passed to the Slave unit. Input gain or trim controls on the master unit are used (see Setup on page 15). The input controls on the slave unit will have no effect. Use high density 15pin male to male cable wired straight through (pin1 to pin1, pin2 to pin2, etc). A VGA monitor cable may be suitable. This cable should be kept as short as possible. When operating a system that incorporates two linked ZM3’s, a ZM3M connected to the master ZM3 will page into the zones assigned to the master ZM3 only. Similarly, a ZM3M connected to the slave ZM3 will page into the zones assigned to the slave ZM3 only. It is not possible to page ‘across’ linked ZM3’s. If a more sophisticated paging and program distribution matrix is required, then we have available a range of products ideally suited to the purpose. Our DigiPage and DigiPageJr family of products allow for comprehensive paging and program distribution into up to 16 zones. Please contact your local AMIS dealer for moredetails.

zone or individual sends on a mono zone.

There is no need to enable the rear panel remote

switch unless an ZM3R is also being used.

For Stereo the RC1 should be wired between pin 5 and pins 7 and 8 shorted together.

If each output is being used as an individual sub zone send then one RC1 can be wired between pin 5 and pin7 (for Right sub zone send) and another RC1between pin 5 and pin 8 (for Left sub zone send). The zone should be set to MONO, see Internal Adjustments on page

7. STEP BY STEP SETUP

NOTE: To avoid frustration, check the Internal Adjustments section BEFORE

beginning setup!

The inputs of the ZM3 can accommodate a wide range of sources including active paging stations, dynamic microphones, DVD, CD players & DJ mixers. The zone outputs may be used to drive stereo power amplifiers, mixers, or mixer amplifiers.

Each installation will require setting the appropriate relative mix of levels between paging, program sources and mic/line inputs for each zone and balancing between the zones.

Because of the variation in levels between the possible sources, ZM3 offers a number of gain stage adjustments so you can set the correct levels for your application.

Also consider what the outputs are driving….

Setting up correct gain structure through the whole system is important to achieve optimal results.

The following step by step procedure has been devised to assist during the setup process.

Step by step setup Ensure all gain adjustments on the ZM3 are at minimum. Choose a zone that is conveniently located near to the ZM3 or further away if you feel you need the exercise.

This will be the referred to as the “TEST ZONE”. Ensure that all amplifiers connected to the ZM3 are set to provide required sound levels with a line level input signal.

1. Select PROG1 in the TEST ZONE. Adjust the PROG TRIM until sufficient level is achieved in the

TEST ZONE.

2. Repeat this process for Programs 2-4. The level of each program source should be of

similar volume so no great variation in level apparent when selecting between program inputs

3. Check program level in the other 2 zones to confirm that the gain structure is appropriate

for all amplifiers.

4. Do a test page in the TEST ZONE and check the level relative to the program level.

5. Adjust the page level as desired [front panel PAGE MIC].

6. EQ the paging mic as required

7. Set the Mic/Line input levels remembering these inputs are selectable to each zone

from the front panel.

8. EQ the Mic/Line inputs.

9. Select the REMOTE ENABLE switch (rear panel) if the ZM3R is being used in each zone.

This will allow remote source selection & zone volume adjustment.

10. The ZM3 features 5 band equalization to achieve precise equalization of high quality

audio systems in demanding environments.

11.

Repeat this process for the other 2 zones.

3 GAIN

To accommodate different speech levels, there is a gain control on the base of the ZM3M. This ships set to minimum and may be adjusted to suit. Increasing this control too far may cause the paging station to distort if loud or close speech levels are encountered. Caution should be used if trying to achieve high gain levels for distant or lectern speech styles as feedback may occur.

Installation and Setup

The CAT5 cable connects to the RJ45 socket on the rear panel of the paging station. This socket is a NEUTRIK connector designed to be used with the XLR style housing (model NE8MC) to improve reliability. Normal RJ45 connectors can also be used.

CABLE INSTALLATION FOR PAGING STATION

The RJ45 port (labelled Page Mic) on the rear of the ZoneMix3 is provided for connection to a ZoneMix3 Zone Paging Station, ZM3M. routed as best as possible away from sources of high electromagnetic radiation (such as motors and dimmers).

NOTE: These are Ethernet connections.NOT

NOTE: If installing and terminating CAT5 cable is new to you, please take note of the

various points that follow. As the CAT5 cabling for the DigiPageJr carries voltage, damage could occur if your pin-pin connections are not made correctly.

CAT5 CABLE

CAT5 cable is the blue cable commonly used for data installations (other colours do exist). It consists of four twisted pairs of wires: this is why it is often referred to as UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair). The most readily available cable uses solid conductors, like telephone wire. Cable with stranded conductors is available, and is more flexible.

The CAT5 cable can be up to 30m long and should be

CAT5 TERMINATION

Pre-wired CAT5 cable comes in two configuration standards, 568A and 568B. It is advisable to carry a good pre-wired cable for fault-finding. Both configurations will work with the DigiPageJr provided both ends have the same configuration. Be careful not to use a crossover cable which has one configuration at one end and the other configuration at the other end.
