dbx ZC Wall-Mounted Zone Controller
The ZC plates are how a ZonePro or DriveRack system gets handed over to the people who actually work in the room. Each is a wall-mounted controller wired back to the processor on CAT5 with RJ-45 connectors, identified by DIP switch, and programmed from the host device, so a bartender gets a volume knob and nothing else while the system design stays locked.
The range splits by function. ZC-1 and ZC-6 are volume only; ZC-2 adds mute. ZC-3 is a program, source, page-steering, or scene selector, and ZC-4 does the same job from contact closures, which also makes it usable as an alarm interface. ZC-7 is a push-to-talk page assignment plate for paging positions, ZC-8 combines source selection with volume, and ZC-9 is a rotary source selector for the ZonePro 1260 and 1261. ZC-BOB is the break out box that allows home-run or parallel wiring back to the processor, and ZC-FIRE is the dedicated fire safety interface that mutes the system or recalls a scene when triggered by a relay or control voltage from the fire panel.
