ZC-BOB

The dbx ZC-BOB is a wall-mounted breakout box designed to simplify the connection of multiple dbx ZC Series Zone Controllers to compatible DriveRack® and ZonePRO™ processors. It supports home-run or parallel wiring configurations, making it a practical solution for commercial and installed audio systems using CAT5 cabling.

From The Manufacturer:

The Zone Controllers offer extended utility to the DriveRack® and ZonePRO™ families. The nine Zone Controllers use analog DC voltage to provide logic control ranging from zone source selection, volume and muting, to program or scene selection and fire safety muting.

Wired with readily available and affordable CAT5 cable with universally accepted RJ-45 connectors at distances up to 1000 ft, the ZC Zone Controllers offer simple yet elegant solutions to the contractor.

The ZC-BOB allows “home run” or parallel wiring to the DriveRack and ZonePRO devices.
