SZ Series System Set Up The following is a typical constant voltage system setup for a small restaurant using four SZ1120 power amplifiers along with an S zone feeding several audio zones with paging and music. The first two SZ amps are connected to four wall-mounted speakers in each of the Dining Rooms with their transformers set to a 25 watt tap. The third SZ amp powers two speakers in the outside Bar area with their transformers set to 50 watt. (The db300i's are specially treated so they'r
