TCI-1608Z 16 Zone Selector. The Multi‑Zone Audio Controller is a powerful and flexible solution for managing large‑scale audio distribution across multiple areas. Designed with 4 built‑in zone groups (A–D), each capable of controlling up to 4 outputs with a maximum of 800W per output, the system delivers a total controllable power of 12,800W per controller. For expanded installations, up to 16 controllers can be daisy‑chained via RJ45 and RS-485 bus, supporting as many as 256 zone outputs.

This controller seamlessly switches between service mode (background music, paging microphone, line input) and emergency mode (EMC trigger, alarm input), ensuring reliable performance in both everyday and critical situations. A built‑in preamplifier with two‑level priority supports up to 16 intelligent paging microphones, plus local microphone and line inputs, giving operators flexible control over announcements and audio sources.

User convenience is enhanced with local and remote paging functions, intelligent volume control, and a power‑off memory function that resumes background music after restart. Dual‑color zone indicators provide clear visual feedback for music, paging, and alarm status, while manual and programmable control options allow tailored operation. Connected to a central host, the controller forms a programmable zone system that improves management and scalability for complex installations.

Compact, intelligent, and highly adaptable, this device is ideal for schools, shopping centers, factories, public buildings, and emergency systems where dependable audio distribution and control are essential.

The Multi‑Zone Audio Controller provides scalable audio management with up to 16 outputs per unit and 256 outputs via daisy‑chain, delivering 12,800W total power per controller. It supports service and emergency modes, intelligent paging, flexible amplifier connections, and programmable zone control for reliable system integration.
