The Z Series is a multi-zone speech privacy system that also supports background music and paging applications. Model Z2-B is a two-zone speech
privacy system providing 40-watts of total amplification and model Z4-B is four-zone speech privacy system delivering up to 80-watts of amplification.
The Z Series is an all-in-one solution that not only supplies high quality speech privacy, but also can deliver high quality background music and paging.
Mic / line and music inputs each have a five-band equalizer and Hi and Lo pass filters to assure maximum performance. Music inputs incorporate either
analog stereo summed inputs or Bluetooth
tailored to the vocal frequency range. Output limiters are in the audio chain to protect against system overdrive.
Advanced features of the Z Series include separate analog masking generators per zone, 14-day system commissioning ramp per zone, and PC project
design software allows system custom project files to meet installation needs.
For conference room applications where secure speech privacy is required, the Z Series features a Speech Privacy Enhancement mode that can be
engaged while a meeting is in progress. Enhanced Privacy mode applies additional acoustical energy to the surrounding environment, increasing the
privacy levels for the conference room occupants. These unique secured speech filters have been approved and implemented in many installations
around the world including military and government facilities. Activation of the Speech Privacy Enhancement feature is accomplished via hardwired
switch, an iOS
visual aid to notify attendees when Enhanced Privacy Mode is active.

Applications
AtlasIED has been developing, manufacturing, assisting and commissioning sound masking systems for over forty years using proprietary Chanaud
masking filters. The Z Series includes a multitude of features enabling it to conform to most design requirements but remains intuitive enough for
simple operation and quick installation. The Z Series is designed to be aesthetically pleasing for office or conference room applications seamlessly
blending in to a variety of decors. Z Series placement is flexible allowing for mounting on a surface, in the wall, or in an equipment rack. The Z2-B
model delivers quality audio and speech privacy in spaces up to 7000 sq ft with two-zones of control flexibility. The Z4-B model features four-zones of
audio with total potential sound masking coverage of up to 14,000 sq ft. This compact integrated solution features out of the box selectable system
configuration presets that are accessible through the front panel display and navigation keys. The combination of these features makes for a simple but
effective speech privacy and audio control solution.
1. Remove the two Control Panel Dress End Caps. These End Caps are held by magnets with guide pins for alignment. They need to be lifted away
from the panel. See Figure 2.
2. Remove the six Control Panel mounting screws.
3. Carefully tilt back the Control Panel to access the I/O Backbox. The Control Panel and I/O Backbox are connected via harness as seen in Figure 4.
Note: Remove the harness connectors from the Control Panel and leave the cables connected to the I/O Backbox.

Mounting the Z Series
The Z Series can be surface mounted, in-wall flush mounted, or rack mounted. Before mounting the Z Series, there are several factors to take into
consideration. Select the best area for wiring infrastructure such as speaker wire, AC mains power, paging cable and background audio source cables.
Placement of the Z Series is also critical when using the Bluetooth® audio streaming feature. The Z Series should be placed within 50ft of the paired
audio source. Powering the Z Series requires use of the included external power supply. It is suggested to place the Z Series within 6ft of a 120V AC
outlet. If this is not possible, the power supply wire for the 24VDC output can be extended up to 50ft. Note: This does not void the warranty as it is
the low voltage wire that is being extended. Note: Pay attention to the DCV polarity when reconnecting the removable Phoenix connector.
Wire Routing
The I/O Backbox wall mounting can be secured by applying screws to a surface, in-wall, or to a 2-gang electrical box. Wiring into the Z Series can be
done via rear 2-gang opening of the I/O Backbox or via electrical conduit
For wiring the Inputs and Outputs see “Wiring the Z Series I/O Backbox”.

5. After the I/O Backbox is wired, re-install the front panel (carefully plug in cable connectors, fold closed, and fasten 6 screws) and apply the two magnetic end caps. Note: Do not force close or damage may occur. Realign the wires if necessary for smooth panel closure.
1. Cut a hole in the wall (8.27"H x 10.83" W). Make sure the hole has at least 2" of rear clearance. Note: Aligning one side over a stud is the easiest
and most secure method. See Figure 13.
2. Remove the front Control Panel from the I/O Backbox. Be careful removing the cables from the Control Panel PCB.
3. Remove the Dress Ring from the I/O Backbox to allow access to the side mounted wall mount brackets.
4. Temporarily fit the Z Series into the wall cut-out and adjust the side brackets so the front of the I/O Backbox sits flush to the finished wall.
5. On the opposite side of the stud, use an EZ Anchor or add a small backing block (wood) to screw into. Note: The center of the wall mount bracket
has an opening large enough to allow a drywall screw to hold the wood backing block in place while mounting.
6. After mounting in-wall, re-fasten the Dress Ring to the front of the I/O Backbox.
7. Wire the I/O Backbox. See “Wiring the Z Series I/O Backbox” for details.
8. After the I/O Backbox is wired, re-install the front panel (carefully plug in cable connectors, fold closed, and fasten 6 screws) and apply the two
magnetic end caps. Note: Do not force closed or damage may occur. Realign the wires if necessary for smooth panel closure.

Masking & Privacy Volume Adjust - Each Zone has its own Masking and Speech Privacy Enhancement adjustments. These are separate adjustments
but are relative to each other.
1. Masking Level Zone 1 - This adjusts the Level of Sound Masking only in Zone 1. Note: This adjustment is Pre or Before the Master Zone Level 1.
2. Privacy Level - This feature is designed to temporarily change the masking level. This feature is ideal to use in a medical
office, conference room, or any area that needs a more secure speech environment to prevent conversations from being overheard. When
engaged, the Level at Zone 1 output will increase by the Privacy level entered. In most cases 6dB is common. This Privacy fader level is “relative”
to the Zone fader level and is not active regardless of the position of the fader until the Speech Privacy Enhancement ports “G” and “Engage” are shorted together or the Z-SIGN or App activate it. Refer to their specific manuals for details. Note: The Privacy Enhancement does not change
the Music (BT / AUX) or Paging (Mic / Line levels). We recommend following the Privacy Enhancement examples listed on the web site to
understand the masking signal flow and gain structure.
Mic & Phantom Adjust (Mic or Line Gain Select) - In this section the Balanced input can be configured to be at Mic or Line Level. If Mic mode is
selected you can also turn on the Phantom 24vDC power if required.
Mic Feedback Filter Adjust - If the Balanced input is selected to Mic mode and you are experiencing feedback while paging, the Z2 / Z4 has a
specialized filter to reduce or eliminate the feedback. Navigate to On / Off, select On, then adjust the frequency Up or Down until the feedback is gone.
This notch filter frequency adjustment range is 200Hz to 6KHz with the level being fixed at -20dB cut with a Q14 (0.1 BW)
System Commissioning Ramp (SCR) - Each Zone has it is own SCR On / Off function and they operate independently from each other. When
turned on, the SCR function last for 14 days with each day representing 1dB of change. When the SCR is turned On, the display will show number 14
representing the numbers of SCR days left. The Masking Level will be down -14dB from the set Masking Level. Note: The SCR is a count down timer
that displays the number of days left. When it gets to 0 days, the SCR will automatically turn Off. At this point the Masking level is where the Masking
fader is set to. The clock must be set for the SCR to function.
Example: If the Masking A Level is -10dB and you select 14 Days for the ramping to take place, then turn ON the SCR, the Masking A Level is -24dB.
The next day the SCR changes to 13 Days and the Masking A output level increases by 1dB making the Masking level -23dB. This will continue until
the SCR days reach 0 Days and the Masking A level reaches -10dB. The SCR will turn OFF automatically.
The Z Series can store 10 different programs that are called Presets. The Z Series is shipped with the Factory Preset active. This preset is designed to
be used in many general applications. For a detailed list of functions of the other presets visit atlasied.com. Note: Presets are subject to change, refer
to atlasied.com for up to date information and detailed application guides.

SHS EQ
Some speakers require unique EQ processing to maximize their performance. This does not mean the speaker will not function without the specific
EQ settings. When using an SHS speaker with a Z2 / Z4 for background audio or paging applications, use the custom EQ setting. AtlasIED has made a
simple SHS EQ On or Off setting for Paging or Music. This setting is located in the navigation tree. When On, this SHS EQ will be applied to all zones.
The Music & Paging EQ are still available for room tuning.
