Description:

With 12 inputs and 6 outputs and Ethernet control the dbx ZonePRO® 1260 is the newest members of the ZonePRO® family providing a complete suite of signal processing and control for Commercial Audio applications.

Designed to offer superior system sonic performance and flexibility, the 1260/1261 deliver the highest quality tools available. Even the input and outputs connectors were chosen for their standard usage and reliability. The ZonePRO products offer Euroblock connectors for balanced signals and RCA connectors for interfacing with consumer equipment often used in commercial applications; there is also a simple analog input buss that allows inputs to be sent from one unit to the next for unit and job scalability. The 1260 provide every necessary processing tool, from the input processing like gain control and EQ available on all inputs to highly sophisticated and specific functions such as selectable paging microphone processing including Gating, De-Essing, Auto Gain Control, Compression and Feedback Suppression. The heart of the ZonePRO products is the Routing module that provides of course Primary Source Selection but also Source Ducking for Paging and Priority Override. The outputs also offer a wealth of processing designed for commercial applications like our patent-pending AutoWarmth® function that was co-developed with JBL to provide natural low frequency extension at any signal level. Each output also offers EQ, Bandpass and Crossover filters, Limiting and Delay for system optimization. With the ZonePRO® every tool is at your disposal to maximize the response of your system.

Beyond processing, the ZonePRO® products offer multiple forms of control to further extend the versatility of your system. From easy-to-use wall panel Zone Controllers for standard end-user functions like source select and volume control to advanced system control including a built-in Real Time Clock that can provide programmable system changes throughout the day or week. For system setup and monitoring the ZonePRO Designer software provides an intuitive interface and a speedy setup Wizard for configuring and editing all system parameters. The addition of Ethernet control means that not only will it work with standard network equipment, but it can also be accessed from remote dialup locations or from wireless access points.

The ZonePRO® 1260 will take your Commercial Audio system to the next level with advanced processing, versatility and control.

Description:

The Zone Controllers offer extended utility to the DriveRack® and ZonePRO™ families. The nine Zone Controllers use analog DC voltage to provide logic control ranging from zone source selection, volume and muting, to program or scene selection and fire safety muting. Wired with readily available and affordable CAT5 cable with universally accepted RJ-45 connectors at distances up to 1000 ft, the ZC Zone Controllers offer simple yet elegant solutions to the contractor.

The ZC-8 provides both programmable source selection and volume control to ZonePRO devices.

ARCHITECTS' AND ENGINEERS' SPECIFICATIONS:

The remote device shall provide both programmable push-button up/down volume control, and programmable rotary switch source selection for the dbx® ZonePRO™ devices. The remote device shall have DIP switches allowing identification with connection to the processing device via CAT 5 cable on RJ-45 connectors. The device shall be a dbx ZC-8 remote controller.

Specifications:

• Connectors: (2) RJ-45
• Series Wiring: Maximum Cable Length varies with number of Zone Controllers. For Example, Three Zone Controllers: 600 ft. Six Zone Controllers: 300 ft.
• Parallel Wiring using ZC-BOB: Up to Six Zone Controllers: 1000 ft.
• Parallel Wiring Cable: CAT5 or CAT5E with 28.6 Ohm/M (Ohm/1000ft.) nominal DCR and rated VW-1 or higher.
• Safety Agency Certifications: UL 60065, IEC 60065, EN 55013, E60065
