Optimal Audio Zone 4 FAQs
The Zone 4 is a 4-zone audio controller with Digital Signal Processing (DSP) capabilities. It acts as the central brain of your multi-zone sound system, allowing you to:
- Independently control audio in up to four zones: Set different volumes, sources, and even configure settings like EQ for each zone (e.g., relaxing music in a spa area, upbeat music in a bar area).
- Connect various audio sources: Zone 4 offers multiple inputs including line inputs, SPDIF, microphone inputs, and even HDMI for audio from set top boxes and other video sources.
- Digital Signal Processing (DSP): The built-in DSP allows for features like speaker preset selection or custom equalisation, ensuring clear and high-quality sound throughout your venue.
The Zone 4 is designed for user-friendly operation:
- WebApp control: Control and configure the entire system through a web interface accessible from any device. No need for complex software installations.
- Intuitive interface: The WebApp offers a clear and easy-to-use interface for adjusting volume, selecting sources, and managing settings for each zone.
- Presets for fast installation: Zone 4 comes with pre-configured speaker settings for various scenarios, making setup even faster.
The Zone 4 offers several advantages over traditional audio setups:
- Control from any device: Manage your entire multi-zone sound system from any device with a web browser via WebApp.
