Frequently asked questions
What's the main functional difference between these controllers?
The ZC1 provides programmable rotary potentiometer volume control for general zone management. The ZC7 is a push-to-talk page assignment controller specifically designed for ZonePRO devices, offering logic control for page selection rather than continuous volume adjustment.
Which controller should I choose for a ZonePRO system?

Are the cable specifications and cable run distances the same?

What does B-stock mean for the ZC7?
B-stock indicates the unit has been returned, opened, or has minor cosmetic imperfections but is fully functional. It carries the same specifications and certifications as new stock at a reduced price.
