DBX ZC-8 Source Selector and Volume Control for ZonePro

The DBX ZC-8 is a remarkable device that brings extended functionality to the DriveRack and ZonePRO families. These zone controllers use analog DC voltage to offer logic control, including zone source selection, volume adjustment, muting, program or scene selection, and fire safety muting. Wired with the commonly available and cost - effective CAT5 cable using universal RJ - 45 connectors, it can reach up to 1000 ft, presenting simple yet elegant solutions for contractors. The ZC - 8 specifically provides programmable source selection and volume control for ZonePRO devices. This remote device offers computer - programmable push - button up/down volume control for dbx ZonePRO devices. It also features DIP switches for easy identification when connected to the processing device via a CAT 5 cable with RJ - 45 connectors. Technical specs include (2) RJ - 45 connectors, with maximum cable length varying according to the number of zone controllers. For parallel wiring using ZC - BOB, it can support up to six zone controllers at a distance of 1000 ft. The recommended cable is CAT5 or CAT5E with specific DCR ratings and safety certifications like UL 60065, IEC 60065, EN 55013, E60065. All information is subject to change without notice.
