T-7701Z
Independent 8-zone paging and music distribution. The T-7701Z is a 1U rack-mount IP decoder with eight independent 100V constant voltage zone outputs. Each zone can be individually addressed from the T-7700RP server, allowing simultaneous paging to different areas, background music zoning, and emergency evacuation routing. Includes a 2000W switched power socket for amplifier control.

The T-7701Z is a specialized 8-zone IP network decoder designed for commercial audio systems requiring independent zone control. Unlike single-output decoders, the T-7701Z receives one network audio stream and routes it to any combination of its eight 100V zone outputs based on server commands or local priority inputs.
Flexible Zone Routing: Each of the eight zones is a dedicated 100V constant voltage output, ready to drive a line of 100V speakers. Zones can be activated individually, in groups, or all simultaneously. Volume levels are independently adjustable per zone via server software or optional T-7771 remote volume controls.
Fire Alarm Integration: The T-7701Z features dedicated fire alarm linkage inputs. When triggered by a contact closure from a fire alarm panel, the decoder can be programmed to activate specific zones, force maximum volume, and play emergency messages – all with highest audio priority. Compliant with international evacuation standards.
Local Audio Inputs: Front/rear MIC and AUX inputs allow local announcement capability without network dependency. The EMC input provides absolute priority override for emergency paging.
Individual zone control, volume adjustment, and status monitoring. Each zone supports unlimited 100V speakers within power budget.
Direct interface with conventional fire alarm panels. Programmable zone activation patterns for phased evacuation.
High-current switched outlet for external amplifiers. Eliminates standby power consumption, reduces cooling load.
Full-function IR remote for zone selection, volume, source switching, and emergency override. Range: 8 meters.

| T-7701Z | 8x 100V zones | 1x AC outlet (2000W) | Fire linkage, zone matrix | Multi-zone paging, evacuation |
| T-7704 | 4x LINE out | 4x AC outlets | 4 independent channels | Multi-source distribution |
The T-7701Z is a line-level decoder with 100V zone outputs that are unamplified. You must connect each zone (or group of zones) to an external 100V power amplifier. The integrated 2000W switched outlet is designed to power these external amplifiers. For self-amplified zones, consider T-7700B series IP amplifiers.
Zones can be logically grouped in the T-7700RP software. For example, create an "All Call" group that activates zones 1-8 simultaneously, or "East Wing" group with zones 1,2,3. Group paging can be triggered from any T-7702A/M paging microphone with a single button press.

2000W switched outlet powers all external amplifiers. Fire alarm panel connected to fire input triggers Zone 1-8 for evacuation. T-7771 wall panels provide remote volume control per zone. IR remote for local zone selection.
