Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but this seems like a
good place to ask a general A/V question, and the answer to my question could be relevant to Myth users:<br><br>I'm trying to design an
audio system for a restaurant, and they want 3 zones of mono sound.
I'm looking for something that I could input stereo audio, and output 3
mono signals that combines the stereo input from a netbook running
iTunes. I'm planning to use 3 "V-12M Muting Wall Mount Volume Control"
units from (<a href="http://www.ecost.com/detail.aspx?edp=37244640&source=ecostdeal&cm_mmc=CSE-_-Shopping.com-_-ecostdeal-_-Electronics" target="_blank">http://www.ecost.com/detail.aspx?edp=37244640&source=ecostdeal&cm_mmc=CSE-_-Shopping.com-_-ecostdeal-_-Electronics</a>)
to independently adjust the volume in the three zones (back room, front
room, outside). My plan is to find a home theater 5.1 surround system
that I can set to output a mono signal to at least 3 of the channels,
and then run them through the independent volume control units. This is
just background music, so absolute quality isn't a requirement, as long
as it provides a reasonably clean signal (I'm not looking for insane
audiophile level quality, something equivalent to the audio played from a
TV for example, just no obvious noise that would be noticed in a loud dining room). <br>
<br>Is my approach reasonable? Any obvious holes in my plan? Is there any magic
product I can find that would do this all from one unit for a reasonable
price (a price comparable to a low end 5.1 surround sound receiver)?<br><br>Any
advice would be appreciated. <br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Josh<br><div style="display: inline;"></div>
