Speaker Cables
Unshielded two conductor 18 gauge
(AWG) speaker wire is the minimum
acceptable standard for connections
between the RMZ-955 controller/
amplifier and zone loudspeakers. Par-
ticularly long runs may call for use of
heavier wire.

Zone Configuration
Basic Zone Complement
Each remote zone must include at
least one control device and a pair of
loudspeakers. The control device may
be a RR-952 hand held remote and an
RSM-901 sensor/display combination.
Or it can be a RKP-901 keypad, either
stand-alone or with a RSM-901.
Remember that the RSM-901 sensor/
display also provides useful visual
clues to total system operation and ad-
ditional convenience features. Most
zones will use multiple control devices,
with the combination of one RSM-901
sensor/display, one RKP-901 keypad,
and one RR-952 being the most com-
mon.
The RSM-901 sensor/display reads in-
frared signals generated by the RR-952
hand held remote and, after translating
them into a digital code that is highly
resistant to interference, sends them
to the RMZ-955 controller/amplifier.
The RKP-901 simply translates key
pushes into digital code before send-
ing them to the controller/amplifier.
Loudspeakers
These will vary with installation
requirements and user expectations.
The RMZ-955’s amplifier sections are
optimized for impedance loads of four
ohms or higher.
