The ZM series mixers provide
an ideal solution for small to medium-size commercial sound system installations.
Capable of providing 75 watts of clean power, the ZM75 also features a built-in
constant voltage power amplifier capable of running at 25, 70 or 100 volts, or
at 4 ohms. Six input channels with individual level controls are provided, so
connecting sound sources is simple thanks to the available XLR, 1/4-inch and
RCA connectors. Additionally, the ZM75 features five selectable speaker zone
outputs.The ZM75 is ideal for distributing music and announcements throughout
different rooms and the dedicated paging microphone input allows you to setup a
distant paging station (for a hostess in the restaurant, for example). There's
even an on-board chime, with four selectable tones, to alert the listeners of
an upcoming page. For businesses that want to improve their customers'
telephone experience, a MOH (Music On Hold) facility is also included. When
interfaced with a business telecom system, music or valuable pre-recorded
announcements are heard while customers are on hold.To control the overall
tonal response of the sound system, the ZM series employs a seven-band graphic
equalizer. A master level control and five segment level meters allow you to
set a clean signal at the correct volume. For added flexibility you can add the
optional Samson TCM-3 sound module with FM tuner and CD player that can play
both standard CDs and CDs with MP3s.The ZM75 can be table-top or mounted in a
standard 19-inch equipment rack using the included rackmount ears. The sleek
black finish matches just about any décor, plus the steel chassis adds to its
durability and reliability. Perfect for schools, restaurants, office buildings,
small factories, or just about any place high quality, distributed audio is
needed, the ZM75 offers excellent sound and great value.

ZM
Series System Set Up
The
following is a typical constant voltage system setup for a small restaurant
using the ZM125 mixer/amplifier feeding several audio zones with paging and
music. The first two ZM Series constant voltage outputs are connected to two
ceiling speakers in each of the Dining Rooms with their transformers set to a
12 watt tap. The third constant voltage output powers two speakers in the
outside bar area with their transformers set to 25 watt. (The db300i's are
specially treated so they're suitable for indoor and outdoor use.) The fourth
ZM Series amp channel powers small speakers in the lobby with a 12 watt tap.
