The range is 12 dB to 12dB Source Grouping This allows for one zone to automat ically listen to the same source as all other zones in the group This is a very useful feature for a large open area where it is not practical for more than one source to be playing at one time The advantage of the zone group is that the each Display Pad within the group has the ability to turn on or off mute and control vol ume independently Concerto allows for four separate groups Enabled Zone Sources These allow individual sources to be turned off for specific zones A source that is turned off will not display in that zone This is particu larly useful in preventing child access to a source dedi cated to adult listening Auto Blank displays after no activity for 20 seconds This checkbox sets the Display Pad to automatically go dark after 15 seconds of inactivity Volume Reset at Zone ON The Display Pad allows the choice of zone power on at the level it was at when turned off or to automatically reset itself to a low vol ume level The Initial Volume adjustment allows the zone turn on level to be adjusted to accommodate the zone s needs Loudness Compensation ON The Concerto System has an automatic boost for the bass and treble when the zone is operating at low volume levels The zone defaults to ON but you have the ability to defeat that by unchecking the box Open Source Control By default when a source is cho sen in a z
