Notes - Restaurant/Bar Application
1. The ZonePro 640 is located in the manager's office and provides source selection for the wait-
ing area.
2. Both the restaurant and the bar area have ZC controllers. The bar is using them for source
selection and volume control, the ZC-1 in the restaurant is used for volume control, and the
ZC-3 is used for scene changes.
3. Paging is done from the hostess station and is pre-assigned to the bar, and the waiting area.
4. The Zone Controllers for the bar and restaurant are wired with CAT5 cable in series with
the bar ZC-3 and ZC-1 as ID #2, and #3, and the restaurant ZC-3 and ZC-1 as ID #1 and #4.
5. Scenes have been created that accommodate changes in the venue such as a volume boost
in the bar for happy hour as well as the regular volume boost in the restaurant for the
lunch time rush and the dinner crowd.

7. The Schedule function has been used to load the Rest. Boost scene automatically at the begin-
ning of the lunch and dinner periods.
8. EQ, Feedback Suppression and Compression are used on the hostess mic to help improve
intelligibility and reduce unwanted feedback in the system.

while Auto Gain Control is being used in the restaurant and waiting areas to maintain the sig-
nal level.
