Specification

Rear panel

1. Audio (IN) 1-4: Connect analogue audio sources via 3.5mm stereo jack cable.
2. Audio (IN) 5-6: Connect digital audio sources to the paired optical or digital-coax input ports. These ports are paired meaning that you can not use both the digital-coax and optical port at the same time.
3. Audio (OUT) A-D: 110w Stereo Output via 4-way phoenix connectors.
4. 3a.Terminate speaker cable to pins (R - /+) then (L - / +) as per the diagram.
5. Control (IP): Connect MZMA system to your router via this port to setup and control via IP.
6. RS232: Connect MZMA directly to a control system via RS232.
7. Hub IR (IN): Send Infrared (IR) commands from a remote control or control system via a HDA IR Receiver in to MZMA for switching control.
8. MHUB LINK: For future expansion.
9. Mirror OUT A-D: Audio line-out ports. Full range audio mirrors for audio outputs (A-D). Additionally can be used for subwoofers as long as they are able to perform a low-pass filter.
10. AC Power: Connect an IEC lead to this port to provide power to your MHUB.

Note on Speaker Wiring:
3a: Terminate speaker cable to pins (R - /+) then (L - / +) as per the diagram.

Front panel

• HDANYWHERE: LED indicator light. If this light is on and solid then MZMA has power and is on.
• System Status: Indicator light which represents MZMA’s error state for both input and output. If no lights are active then MZMA is operating as normal. Each circle represents (from left-to-right) either the analogue input, lit in white colour, 1,2,3,4 or the output A,B,C,D lit in red colour.
• White Circle LED: Input is overloaded (reduce input gain or adjust audio source gain settings)
• Red Circle LED: Output is in overdrive

MZMA control methods

MZMA has been designed to be operated and controlled in numerous ways depending on your requirements. There are no control buttons on the front of the MZMA (see MZMA (6x4) Front Panel). This MHUB has been designed to be located centrally and its control methods are primarily those which do not require line of sight to the unit. The methods to control MZMA and considerations for each are listed below.

• uControl and uControl Remote: Available on iOS, uControl is MZMA’s native method of control. All of MZMA’s built-in features are available; offering comprehensive control over switching, volume, grouping, executing Sequences and mute states in all zones. uControl communicates over the same Local Area Network (LAN) as your MZMA which allows for global control over the entire system regardless of what zone you are in.
• Voice: All MZMA systems support voice control as standard via an Amazon Echo (Alexa) device. Voice control is not designed to act as a primary control method but to assist the other methods listed on this page. Using voice it is possible to control volume adjustments (“set volume to 25%”), muting and switching input from any zone.
• Third-party control system: Control via a third-party control system is also supported using our latest and most advanced API to date. For an up-to-date list of systems that MZMA supports please visit the “Control Drivers” section of our support site: http://support.hdanywhere.com. Control varies depending on the control system being used but typically, switching, volume and mute control is supported.
• uOS: Any device with a web browser can control MZMA directly from the uOS dashboard. From here it is possible to control switching, volume and mute states. uOS is also where all configuration for MZMA can be done.

Stacking: creating (V&A or A&A) systems for use with uControl

MZMA is a ‘stackable’ system meaning that it can be added to any MHUB PRO 2.0, MHUB S (A) or MHUB system. When you create a system comprised of a video MHUB and MZMA then we refer to this as a V&A system. IMPORTANT: this section applies to stack systems that are to be controlled using the uControl app or the uControl remote. If you intend on controlling your MHUB or MHUB + MZMA with a control system you can skip this part.

Note: uControl Zone Processor (ZP) is required for stacking
Stacking works by taking one or more MHUB or MZMA systems and combining them together so that it presents itself to the user as one large system. To build a stacked system you will need a ZP to act as your stack controller. This is referred to as the “Master” device. All communication and the large majority of system configuration will be done on the Master device only.

Note: You can only create a stack with the uControl app
To create a stacked system you will need the uControl app. uControl will scan your network and will identify any HDANYWHERE device that is present on it. If more than one MHUB/MZMA is found then you will be presented with additional options: 1) to setup and connect to any system in standalone mode or 2) to combine one or more MHUB/ MZMA systems in to a stack. If you select option #2, then you will be asked to nominate your Master device first.

• A stack system can only be made with a uControl Zone Processor. This must be detectable in the network scan when devices are being discovered.
• You can reorder the Slaves in your stack to match how your systems are physically setup in your rack.

Tip: Have a plan in place before you start
It is advisable to have a drawing or a plan in place before you start to connect your system. Outputs from MHUB can act as inputs for Slave MZMAs and both can be switched to any input/output combination. This can get very confusing! Detail everything and label your cables and interconnects to make troubleshooting easier.
