Audica MULTI zone - Manual (Page 6)

h) DIP switch
DIP switches are “ON” when down and “OFF” when up. The default setting is with all switches set OFF (up).
The table below describes their effect.
**In a system with only a single MULTIzone unit, if DIP switch 5 is set ON then any microphone signal will “duck” the music signal in
whichever zone(s) the microphone level is set above zero – but the microphone signal will not be heard.
i) Remote Zone Controller inputs
Four RJ-45 sockets for connection to remote Zone Control wall plates. Connect via an 8-way CAT-5 cable terminated with RJ-45
plugs at each end for each Zone. The Zone Control wall plate takes over control of Zone input select and volume control – disabling
the front panel controls for that zone. See Appendix 2 for further details.
j) RS-232 control input
9-pin male “D-type” connector. See Appendix 4 for further details and the RS-232 control protocol.

OFF ON
1 RS-232 Address LSB 0 1 Use these switches to set the “unit number”
for RS-232 addressing. See Appendix 4 for
details.
Set all three switches to “0” (UP) to lock the
unit into Manual mode – disabling all RS-232
control.
2 RS-232 Address 0 2
3 RS-232 Address MSB 0 4
4 RS-232 source –
when unit is SLAVE
Unit is controlled from
local RS-232 socket
RS-232 control from
LOOP input
When unit is master, RS-232 signal is sent to
LOOP out – so DIP switch has no effect.
5 MIC source –
when unit is SLAVE
Local microphone “ducks”
unit’s Zone outputs
Master (LOOP) microphone
“ducks” unit’s Zone outputs
When unit is master, ducking signal is sent to
LOOP out – so DIP switch has no effect. **
