Congratulations and thank you for your purchase of this precision Parasound audio component. The Parasound Zamp v.3 Zone Amplifier is the third generation of one of the world’s most popular and proven audio amplifiers. It has been designed for a wide variety of applications, including multi-room, multi-zone installations, desktop audio, PC-Mac audio, bedroom or den systems.
For rack mounting, you can fasten it to another Parasound Z series model by using the Parasound SBS (Side-by-Side) mounting kit. You can also mount a single Zamp v.3 in the rack with the acces- sory Zblank panel. The SBS includes four rack mount bolts plus four pairs of plastic “shoulder washers.
The marking lets you know which wire you con- nected to the positive speaker terminal at its other end. Make sure the + wire you attach to each Zamp v.3 + speaker terminal is attached to the + terminal of the speaker for that channel.
