Rane Zonetech

The Rane Commercial Zonetech is a 1 RU 6-channel, 6-zone, Bluetooth-enabled commercial processor designed to provide multi-source, multi-zone routing and convenient remote control options for system designers, installers, and technicians in restaurants, clubs, educational facilities, houses of worship, and conference rooms. It supports master and per-zone remotes, multiple users, and the ability to lock out unauthorized users.

Connect wired stereo sources such as CD/DVD players or mixers to the four pairs of unbalanced RCA inputs and mic/line sources to the two balanced Euroblock inputs. Stream music wirelessly from a smartphone or tablet via the integrated Bluetooth receiver. Outputs for all six zones are balanced and utilize Euroblock ports; the fifth zone output can be mono or stereo with a high- or low-pass filter.

Access metering, zone levels, and EQ controls via front-panel controls and the high-resolution color LCD or Ethernet-connected remotes. The Zonetech also supports control via web browser on a laptop or mobile device.
