Does anyone know a way of making two physical zones appearing as one zone in the user interface?

Basically I have four speakers in a coupe of rooms and I would like them to be run as one zone, but in my sleep deprived state I cannot figure it out?

Thanks

link the music server output to multiple amplifier channels using an audio splitter cable and use a single zone?

Actually that might work.

Thanks

On the Loxone 12 channel amplifier, there are 2 stereo bus inputs. You can connect the 1 zone to 1 input rather than a channel's line input. 
Each amplifier channel has a physical switch to select the channel's line-in or bus 1 or bus 2 as the input.
If your zone's output is connected on bus 1, then you can simply connect multiple amplifier channels/speakers to that zone by setting the switch to bus 1.
 
You can do the same for a second zone using bus 2.

Sorry for the slow reply I didn't notice this answer.

I have actually tried this since I was posting last year but could not figure a way of making this work with the user interface, as either you had an input selection that did nothing ( If you leave the second zone selected for user interface) or you can't control the volume (if you remove the second zone from the user interface) so I couldn't turn it into a very neat solution.

Have I missed something out?
