RS232 Splitter
The RS232 Splitter separates the
serial control of an M37 Music
Server (MK1 or MK2) into two
areas. In this way, with a large
Multiroom project and the 4 zone
server, it is possible to operate
two Multiroom systems at the
same time (zones 1-4 + zones 5-
8) independently of each other,
each with 2 zones (12 + 34 and
56 + 78). This has the
considerable advantage that only
one M37 Music Server has to be
maintained and there is no need
to synchronise two servers.
This advantage is achieved by
halving the independent M37
audio outputs in the
corresponding Multiroom systems
as now, in the case of an M37
with 4 audio outputs, the first
Multiroom system is supplied from
server outputs 1 and 2 and the
second Multiroom system, from
server outputs 3 and 4.
Of course, the separation of the
M37 audio outputs doesn't just
work with a 4 zone server but with
a 2 zone server as well.
The separation of the audio signal
results from the modified cabling
of the cinch cables.
There is an overview of the zone
separation on pages 8 and 9.
Note
The RS232 Splitter works
without a micro-processor and
therefore doesn't require a
software update.

Server communication module:

Server Setup
This part of the manual only
describes the Communication
module server setup settings in
combination with an RS232
splitter. Please refer to the
Re:source Communication
Module Server manual for the
setup configuration without
RS232 splitter.
Select the source Server from the
Source menu (M10/M51) and
press and hold the Setup key for
approx. 2 seconds. Then select
the Source softkey. Using the
Zone softkey, the Communication
module server is assigned the
zone that it has to supply.

Figures 1 + 2 (pages 8 + 9),
show the configuration of a 2 or
4 zone server with the setup
settings that are to be used. The
suffix SP in the setup stands for
splitter and may only be used if
an RS232 splitter is being used.
M208 Synchronisation
The M208 remote control is
synchronised in the same way
as with server operation without
a splitter. The M208 is
connected and synchronised
with the corresponding
Multiroom central unit (M10 /
M51) using the M208 Link box.
The server library for both
Multiroom systems is identical.
