6. REMOTE PORT
This CAT5 socket is used to connect the optional ZM3R remote control panel for each
zone. See Installation Section on page 13 and Remote Control Panel Section on page 18.
7. REMOTE ENABLE
This button puts the zone into remote mode and must be pressed in when using the
remote control panel ZM3R. When pressed, the front panel program controls (SELECT and
LEVEL) will be disable. Control is handed over to the remote control panel. If no remote
control panel is connected, the program inputs will be off.
8. LINK
This 15 pin high density connector is used to connect two ZoneMix3 units together. When
connected together the program sources and the mic/line inputs are linked to the slave
unit. The unit needs to be internally configured as master or slave. This is done by moving
the link cable. See Internal Adjustments on page 10.
9. EARTH
In some circumstances it may be necessary to ground the unit to eliminate noise in the
system. This can be done by using this earth stud.
NOTE: This stud provides a connection to chassis ground. Audio ground is internally
tied to chassis ground.

4. FUNCTIONALNOTES
There are many features hidden in this product that greatly enhance its value. However, it’s important
to understand how these features work in order to get the best out of the product.
PRIORITY INPUTS
Sum in
Signal on this input will mute program in ALL zones. Level is preset internally and can be adjusted. See
Internal Adjustments on page 10.
This input can be used to receive an emergency evacuation tone or similar signal.
Page mic
If the optional ZM3M Paging Station is connected to the system, paging signals will mute program in
the zones selected on the ZM3M only.
Mic/Line 1,2
These inputs are set up to mute program. This will only occur if the input is selected into the zone on
the front panel. Priority can be disabled for each input, on a per-zone basis (See Internal Adjustments
on page 10). If disabled these inputs are mixed with the program sources into the zone outputs, as
selected on the front panel.
For example, if Zone 2 is a Bistro and a microphone in the servery is connected to MIC/LINE 1 input
and selected in Zone 2, the program would duck in this zone (MIC1 priority is enabled in Zone 2 by
default). However if Zone 3 is a bar and a karioke microphone is connected to MIC/LINE 2 input and
selected in Zone 3, MIC2 priority should be disabled in Zone 3 so that the microphone will mix with the
program source .
Release time
All of the above priority inputs (Sum, Page, Mic/Line) share a common priority level. The release time
(for program to come back up) may be selected on a per-zone basis. See Internal Adjustments on
page 10.
Prog 4
In venues with a Juke box, the Jukebox should over-ride (mute) any other background music sources
that are selected. The LINE4 input is used for this. With this feature enabled, when signal appears on
LINE4 it will automatically be selected even if not selected on the front panel or remote control panel.
PROG4 priority may be enabled on a per-zone basis. See Internal Adjustments on page 10.
It is undesirable to cut back to other BGM between tracks, so a separate release time adjustment is
available for PROG4, with a range of 1-25 seconds (common to all zones). See Internal Adjustments
on page 10.
LINKING
If 3 zones is not enough, two ZM3s can be connected together using a single cable in a Master-Slave
configuration and enabling this feature. See Internal Adjustments on page 10.
The Master unit will accept all the input sources (both Mic/Line inputs and program inputs), and these
will be passed to the Slave unit.
Input gain or trim controls on the master unit are used (see Setup on page 15). The input controls on
the slave unit will have no effect.
Use high density 15pin male to male cable wired straight through (pin1 to pin1, pin2 to pin2, etc). A
VGA monitor cable may be suitable. This cable should be kept as short as possible.
When operating a system that incorporates two linked ZM3’s, a ZM3M connected to the master ZM3
will page into the zones assigned to the master ZM3 only. Similarly, a ZM3M connected to the slave
ZM3 will page into the zones assigned to the slave ZM3 only. It is not possible to page ‘across’ linked
ZM3’s. If a more sophisticated paging and program distribution matrix is required, then we have
available a range of products ideally suited to the purpose. Our DigiPage and DigiPageJr family of
products allow for comprehensive paging and program distribution into up to 16 zones. Please
contact your local AMIS dealer for more details.

zone or individual sends on a mono zone. There is no need to enable the rear panel remote
switch unless an ZM3R is also being used.
For Stereo the RC1 should be wired between pin 5 and pins 7 and 8 shorted together.
If each output is being used as an individual sub zone send then one RC1 can be wired
between pin 5 and pin7 (for Right sub zone send) and another RC1between pin 5 and pin 8
(for Left sub zone send). The zone should be set to MONO, see Internal Adjustments on page

7. STEP BY STEP SETUP
NOTE: To avoid frustration, check the Internal Adjustments section BEFORE
beginning setup!
The inputs of the ZM3 can accommodate a wide range of sources including active paging
stations, dynamic microphones, DVD, CD players & DJ mixers. The zone outputs may be used
to drive stereo power amplifiers, mixers, or mixer amplifiers.
Each installation will require setting the appropriate relative mix of levels between paging,
program sources and mic/line inputs for each zone and balancing between the zones.
Because of the variation in levels between the possible sources, ZM3 offers a number of gain
stage adjustments so you can set the correct levels for your application.
Also consider what the outputs are driving….
Setting up correct gain structure through the whole system is important to achieve optimal
results.
The following step by step procedure has been devised to assist during the setup process.
Step by step setup
Ensure all gain adjustments on the ZM3 are at minimum.
Choose a zone that is conveniently located near to the ZM3 or further away if you feel
you need the exercise.
This will be the referred to as the “TEST ZONE”.
Ensure that all amplifiers connected to the ZM3 are set to provide required sound levels
with a line level input signal.
1. Select PROG1 in the TEST ZONE. Adjust the PROG TRIM until sufficient level is achieved in the
TEST ZONE.
2. Repeat this process for Programs 2-4. The level of each program source should be of
similar volume so no great variation in level apparent when selecting between program
inputs
3. Check program level in the other 2 zones to confirm that the gain structure is appropriate
for all amplifiers.
4. Do a test page in the TEST ZONE and check the level relative to the program level.
5. Adjust the page level as desired [front panel PAGE MIC].
6. EQ the paging mic as required
7. Set the Mic/Line input levels remembering these inputs are selectable to each zone
from the front panel.
8. EQ the Mic/Line inputs.
9. Select the REMOTE ENABLE switch (rear panel) if the ZM3R is being used in each zone.
This will allow remote source selection & zone volume adjustment.
10. The ZM3 features 5 band equalization to achieve precise equalization of high quality
audio systems in demanding environments.
11. Repeat this process for the other 2 zones.

3 GAIN
To accommodate different speech levels,
there is a gain control on the base of the
ZM3M. This ships set to minimum and may be
adjusted to suit. Increasing this control too far
may cause the paging station to distort if loud
or close speech levels are encountered.
Caution should be used if trying to achieve
high gain levels for distant or lectern speech
styles as feedback may occur.

Installation and Setup
The CAT5 cable connects to the RJ45 socket on the rear panel of the paging station. This
socket is a NEUTRIKTM connector designed to be used with the XLR style housing (model
NE8MC) to improve reliability. Normal RJ45 connectors can also be used.
CABLE INSTALLATION FOR PAGING STATION
The RJ45 port (labelled Page Mic) on the rear of the ZoneMix3 is provided for connection to a
ZoneMix3 Zone Paging Station, ZM3M. The CAT5 cable can be up to 30m long and should be
routed as best as possible away from sources of high electromagnetic radiation (such as
motors and dimmers).
NOTE:
These are NOT Ethernet connections.
NOTE: If installing and terminating CAT5 cable is new to you, please take note of the
various points that follow. As the CAT5 cabling for the DigiPageJr carries voltage,
damage could occur if your pin-pin connections are not made correctly.
CAT5 CABLE
CAT5 cable is the blue cable commonly used for data installations (other colours do exist). It
consists of four twisted pairs of wires: this is why it is often referred to as UTP (Unshielded Twisted
Pair). The most readily available cable uses solid conductors, like telephone wire. Cable with
stranded conductors is available, and is more flexible.
CAT5 TERMINATION
Pre-wired CAT5 cable comes in two configuration standards, 568A and 568B. It is advisable
to carry a good pre-wired cable for fault-finding. Both configurations will work with the
DigiPageJr provided both ends have the same configuration. Be careful not to use a
crossover cable which has one configuration at one end and the other configuration at the
other end.

Ensure that the RJ45 connectors are suited to the cable used (solid or stranded) and that the
correct crimp tool is used.
NOTE: CAT5 cable consists of four pairs of wires: it is not sufficient to simply wire the two
ends pin for pin, ignoring pairing.

Introduction
The ZM3R is a simple yet stylish accessory for the Zonemix 3 that allows for source
selection & volume control from a remote zone. It features ample label space and a
contemporary black decor. Running via industry standard CAT5 cable, the ZM3R is
another product from Australian Monitor Installation Series that provides a simple yet
elegant solution to a complex zoning application.

Installation
Remote control is achieved via the rear panel RJ45 (CAT5) socket. Connection is via CAT5
cable and a distance of up to 1000m is guaranteed.
A straight through wired Cat5 cable (not a crossover cable) should be used (wired pin1 to
pin1, pin2 to pin2 etc)
Connect to the ZM3R RJ45 socket on the back and to the zone remote RJ45 on
!
the rear of the ZM3.
Press the remote enable switch on the rear panel of the ZM3.
!
Now the ZM3R has control of the program sources and the front panel controls do not
effect the unit.
Below is a diagram of the pin out on the CAT5 cable.

568A configuration
NOTE: CAT5 cable consists of four pairs of wires: it is not sufficient to simply wire the two
ends pin for pin, ignoring pairing.
NOTE: If installing and terminating CAT5 cable is new to you, please take note of the
various points that follow. As the CAT5 cabling for the DigiPageJr carries voltage,
damage could occur if your pin-pin connections are not made correctly.
CAT5 CABLE
CAT5 cable is the blue cable commonly used for data installations (other colours do exist). It
consists of four twisted pairs of wires: this is why it is often referred to as UTP (Unshielded Twisted
Pair). The most readily available cable uses solid conductors, like telephone wire. Cable with
stranded conductors is available, and is more flexible.
CAT5 TERMINATION
Pre-wired CAT5 cable comes in two configuration standards, 568A and 568B. It is advisable to
carry a good pre-wired cable for fault-finding. Both configurations will work with the
DigiPageJr provided both ends have the same configuration. Be careful not to use a
crossover cable which has one configuration at one end and the other configuration at the
other end.
Ensure that the RJ45 connectors are suited to the cable used (solid or stranded) and that the
correct crimp tool is used.
NOTE:
These are NOT Ethernet connections.
