Pete,
Sorry for the delay in answering. Gone for the weekend. Yes the ESS 11 zones are feeding inside the house. I use the ab8ss to feed outside speakers. I have small speakers under the eves of the house and also in the barn so if I am out there I can hear what is going on. Since I live on 2.5 acres, I don't have any real close neighbors. There are many reasons why I opted for separate systems. 1) the Nuvo I have doesn't support paging altho I could have used one of the zones 2) the speed of the switching is not instant, and the Nuvo, like the ess and ab8ss will switch the zones sequentially if more than one zone is switched at the same time. Since I have motion sensors around the perimeter of the house I have it setup up so when motion is sensed, it triggers the appropiate ab8ss zone and speaker, so TTS is heard where there is motion. It does weird people out who comes to the door and they hear "Front Door" as they approach the door. The outside speakers are also controlled from keypadlincs. I use 70.7 transformers for the runs out to the barn.
