Health advice
This unit produces and absorbs electromagnetic radiation. The strength of radiation and the sensitiv-
ity for disturbing interference matches the CE and FCC requirements. A corresponding sign is printed
on the backside of the unit. Any change or modification may affect the behavior of the unit concerning
electromagnetic radiation, with the CE requirements eventually not to be met any more. The manufac-
turer takes no responsibility in this case.
Functional advice
This unit is immune to the presence of electromagnetic disturbances – both conducted and radiated
- up to a certain level. Under peak conditions, the unit is classified to show a “class C” performance
criteria and may encounter temporary degradation or loss of function which may need manual help
to recover. In such case, disconnect the AC power from the unit and reconnect it again to recover.
Environmental advice
This unit is built to conform to the ROHS standards and the WEEE directive 2002/96/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union. Under these regulations, the product

Main parts: 1 pc. ZPR2620 main unit
1 pc. Mains cable
1 pc. Operation manual
If any part is missing, please contact your dealer immediately for replacement.
Warning
After unpacking, and before plugging the AC cord in the wall outlet, check whether the
AC mains voltage and frequency is the same as this product is specified for (see rear

the local conditions, do NOT plug the AC cord into the wall outlet and contact your
dealer immediately.
Description
The ZPR2620 6+2 Channel 2-Zone Mixer is a stereo mixing console with 2 microphone inputs, 6
stereo inputs, adjustable talk-over and one balanced master stereo output plus one balanced mono
zone output. The numerous installation-specific features make this unit a very versatile choice in any
environment from leisure to commercial applications, where foreground and background music
replay need to be combined.
AC mains voltage setting
If the AC mains voltage of your
power outlet and the setting of the
AC supply voltage on your unit do
not match, contact your dealer,
contractor or a qualified service
workshop to change the setting of
the AC voltage selector. The AC
voltage selector switch is located on
the side panel of the unit, close to
the AC inlet.

USER MANUAL - ZPR2620 2-ZONE MIXER
Functional Description
The ZPR2620 is a zoning mixer which allows to connect up to four microphones and 6 stereo
sources to a total of 8 inputs. Two of the microphones have a dedicated equalizer and an automatic
talkover function which provides microphone priority over program material. One of the stereo inputs
is balanced, specifically catering for connections to the output of a stage mixer, thus making the
ZPR2620 a perfect centre piece of a small hospitality venue sound system with occasional live music.
The main output is a stereo output carrying the mix of the input channels; the zone output is a mono
output which can either carry the same signal as the main output or any of the input signals directly.
A prelistening section completes the user interface, while remote muting and emergency signal
replay facilitate the use in installed sound systems.

AC inlet and fuse holder. Use the supplied AC cord to connect the unit to AC mains. Make sure
voltage and frequency stated and set on the unit comply with your local AC supply. The fuse
can be accessed by the small drawer at the AC inlet. To change the fuse, unplug the AC cord
first, pull out the fuse drawer and replace the fuse ONLY with a fuse of SAME voltage and
rating. If the fuse blows again after replacement, hand over the unit to qualified service person-
nel.
Stereo Main output. This is a balanced stereo ¼’’ TRS output carrying the main output signal
controlled by (30).
Stereo Main output. This is an unbalanced RCA output carrying the same signal as output (2).
Stereo Main output. This is a balanced terminal block output carrying the same signal as
output (2)
Maximum level setting for Stereo Main output. This control allows to limit the maximum level
at the outputs (2)/(3)/(4) in order to match the connected sound system. Adjustments made
on this control will not be displayed by the output level meter (32). Adjustments shall be made
with a small screw driver. Note that the total angle is 300 degrees; do not apply excessive
force with the screw driver.
Talkover adjustment for Stereo Main output. These two controls allow to set the level at which
the talkover is enabled. The amount of damping which is applied once the talkover is active
(DPG) is set by a front panel control (24). Adjustments shall be made with a small screw driver.
Note that the total angle is 300 degrees; do not apply excessive force with the screw driver.
Zone mono output. This is a balanced mono ¼’’ TRS output carrying the zone output signal
controlled by (33) respectively.
Zone mono output. This is a balanced terminal block output carrying the same signal as output
(7)
Maximum level setting for Zone output. This control allows to limit the maximum level at the
outputs (7)/(8) in order to match the connected sound system. Adjustments made on this
control will not be displayed by the output level meter (35). Adjustments shall be made with a
small screw driver. Note that the total angle is 300 degrees; do not apply excessive force with
the screw driver.
Equalizer for Zone output. This is a 2-band stereo equalizer to adjust the frequency response
of the output. Adjustments shall be made with a small screw driver. Note that the total angle
is 300 degrees; do not apply excessive force with the screw driver.
Record output. This is an unbalanced stereo output carrying the same signal as the main
outputs (2)/(3)/(4), but not influenced by the main volume control (30). This is normally used
for recording the output to an external tape, CD or memory device.
