I’m fairly new to Tesira programming and I’m trying to figure out the best way to accomplish a routing setup.

I have 3 audio zones:

- Zone A
- Zone B
- Zone C

Requirements:

- An emergency broadcast line must always be present in all 3 zones with no interruption.
- A microphone must always be active in Zone A.
- The same microphone should be switchable into either Zone B or Zone C using push buttons connected through logic I/O.

My current idea is:

- Route the emergency system directly through the matrix mixer so it is always passing audio to all zones.
- Split the microphone into 3 separate signal paths.
- Route each mic path to a different zone input on the matrix mixer.
- Leave Zone A’s mic path always open.
- Put mute blocks on the Zone B and Zone C mic paths.
- Control those mute blocks using the logic I/O push buttons.

So essentially:
- Emergency audio = always live everywhere
- Mic = permanently live in Zone A
- Mic can be toggled into Zone B or C independently

Does this sound like the correct / cleanest approach in Tesira, or is there a better way to accomplish this?

I’ve been pulling wire most of my life however, recently my company has gotten into access control. This was my first wooden door jam. I have little to no woodworking experience and I am unpleased on how my door turned out. My questions are:

Looking for some good chisel recommendations. I did this with paddle bits and some $30 chisels from Lowe’s. I feel like fresh out the box they were duller than I wanted them to be.
Are there specialized tools or templates to help me with this so I can use power tools? It looks like a lot of the doors or door jams come pre drilled with bolt locations. What are they using during manufacturing.
Any other general tips or tricks I’m learning that doors are an art form. I’m here for any advice.
