Output: Use these settings to determine how
each zone manages its audio output.
Zone Mono/Stereo: Click this menu to
o
set whether the audio signal the zone
plays is monaural (Mono) or binaural
(Stereo). When set to Stereo it will
actually use 2 zones (e.g., Zones 1–2,
Zones 3–4), which will share the same
output settings.
Priority Settings: Each zone has settings

attenuation.
 Threshold: Click this menu to set the
threshold. The incoming audio signal
must be louder than this threshold to
attenuate the current signal. A lower
threshold produces more attenuation.
 Attack Time: Click this menu to set how long it takes for the current signal to be fully
attenuated.
 Hold Time: Click this menu to set how long the current signal remains fully attenuated after
the incoming audio falls below the threshold.
 Release: Click this menu to set how long it takes from the fully attenuated signal to return to
its previous level after the incoming audio signal falls below the threshold.
 Attenuation Level: Click this menu to set how much the current signal's volume is
attenuated ("ducked").
Delay: Click this menu to set how long it takes for the zone to play any incoming audio signal
o
after it receives it. This is useful when multiple zones are playing the same audio signal—
listeners in certain areas may hear that same signal multiple times because the sound from each
zone reaches them at different times rather than all at once. Delaying the zone's audio output
can help prevent this effect.
Dynamics: These settings determine the dynamic control (via compression) of the zone's output
o
signal.

On/Off: Click this menu to enable (On) or disable (Off) the zone's dynamic control.

Threshold: Click this menu to set the threshold. The incoming audio signal must be louder
than this threshold to trigger the dynamic control.

Ratio: Click this menu to set the ratio of the dynamic control—how much the signal is
attenuated relative to its original level.

Attack Time: Click this menu to set how long it takes for the dynamic control to compress
the signal.

Release: Click this menu to set how long it takes from the compressed signal to return to
its original level after the incoming audio signal falls below the threshold.

Gain: Click this menu to set how much gain is applied after the signal is compressed.

Knee: Click this menu to set the knee of the dynamic control. This determines how sharp
or smooth the "curve" is when compression is applied at the threshold. A "hard" knee
produces very dramatic compression, while a "soft" knee produces a more natural-
sounding compression.
