whether the audio signal the zone plays is
monaural (Mono) or binaural (Stereo). When
set to Stereo it will actually use 2 zones (e.g.,
Zones 1–2, Zones 3–4), which will share the
same output settings.

normal attenuation.
 Threshold: Click this menu to set the
threshold. The incoming audio signal must
be louder than this threshold to attenuate
the current signal. A lower threshold
produces more attenuation.
 Attack Time: Click this menu to set how
long it takes for the current signal to be fully
attenuated.
 Hold Time: Click this menu to set how long
the current signal remains fully attenuated after the incoming audio falls below the threshold.
 Release: Click this menu to set how long it takes from the fully attenuated signal to return to its
previous level after the incoming audio signal falls below the threshold.
 Attenuation Level: Click this menu to set how much the current signal's volume is attenuated
("ducked").
Delay: Click this menu to set how long it takes for the zone to play any incoming audio signal after
o
it receives it. This is useful when multiple zones are playing the same audio signal—listeners in
certain areas may hear that same signal multiple times because the sound from each zone
reaches them at different times rather than all at once. Delaying the zone's audio output can help
prevent this effect.
Dynamics: These settings determine the dynamic control (via compression) of the zone's output
o
signal.
 On/Off: Click this menu to enable (On) or disable (Off) the zone's dynamic control.
 Threshold: Click this menu to set the threshold. The incoming audio signal must be louder than
this threshold to trigger the dynamic control.
 Ratio: Click this menu to set the ratio of the dynamic control—how much the signal is
attenuated relative to its original level.
 Attack Time: Click this menu to set how long it takes for the dynamic control to compress the
signal.
 Release: Click this menu to set how long it takes from the compressed signal to return to its
original level after the incoming audio signal falls below the threshold.
 Gain: Click this menu to set how much gain is applied after the signal is compressed.
 Knee: Click this menu to set the knee of the dynamic control. This determines how sharp or
smooth the "curve" is when compression is applied at the threshold. A "hard" knee produces
very dramatic compression, while a "soft" knee produces a more natural-sounding compression.
