■Quality—Inside and Out For over thirty years, the Niles brand has been synonymous with quality and performance.
■High-Performance Digital Amplifier Our advanced digital amplifier delivers 50 watts to each zone with excellent sound quality. It’s a 4-ohm stable design, so up to four speakers can be installed in a single zone.

■True System-Wide Audio Paging The ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver has circuitry that automatically mutes the audio and plays doorbell chimes and telephone pages through the system’s loudspeakers (doorbell chimes require the Niles DBI-1 interface).
