Music source inputs where you need them

With the ZON system, you are free to locate music sources anywhere in your home. You're not limited to the components in your Hi-Fi stack. The ZIM-4 input module provides connections for analog or digital music components in a convenient Decora-sized wall outlet. The ZIM-4 features a 24-bit A/D converter, so even an analog signal travels digitally from its input to the speaker outputs. That means no noise and consistently great sound quality.

If you have several components in the same location, ZIM-4 modules can be conveniently mounted side-by-side in a multi-gang wall plate. Each ZIM-4 can only feed one music signal at a time into the system. If you plug one analog and one digital music source into a ZIM-4, and both are turned on, it will play the digital source only. If you turn the digital source off, you can listen to the analog source. Like the ZAC-60, the ZIM-4 is available in a variety of colors.

Think of a ZON system as an investment in your home

The best time to think about installing a ZON system is before your house is built or renovated. It's not inexpensive, but you could say that it's reasonably priced when compared to upscale kitchen appliances or other taken-for-granted amenities, such as air conditioning or plumbing. Because the ZON system is built-in, like your plumbing and electricity, you can even roll it into your mortgage for a few extra dollars a month. It will increase the resale value of your home and provide you with a lot of pleasure in the meantime.

Of course, you can also "retrofit" a ZON system into an existing home, and the fact that it uses mostly CAT-5 cable makes the installation a bit easier. You only need a small amount of speaker wire, to run from your ZAC-60s to the speakers nearby.

New home or old, a ZON Audio system makes multi-room music much simpler, from the planning, to the installation, to your daily use of the system.
