The assignment determines which device (Amp or Preamplifier) the Ampon output trigger
tracks.
PRESETS
Six momentary preset buttons are provided.
Momentary presets cause an Integra MZA4.7 amplifier or a stack of
amplifiers to be set to predetermined states i.e: source selection volume

The preset definitions are stored in the multi-zone amplifiers.
To program Preset 1 left mouse click over the ‘Set up preset 1’ and change all amplifier
functions as required in the main window and amplifier setup menu. To modify / access other
zone amplifier functions simply change the zone in the zone selection tab or open multiple
main windows in the file menu setting each window to the appropriate zone.
