Introduction to the Genesis System
ADA's Genesis System incorporates everything that is required for a sophisticated multi-room
home entertainment system. As the Genesis inherits the same flexible "Custom" features from
its fabled forefather, System 100, the Genesis includes a full array of accessories permitting
you to custom design a system to suit your clients lifestyle. As with any ADA system, the
Genesis is engineered to provide these basic points - "ADA Guide-Lines":
1
Ease of Operation - The Genesis keypads' button layouts are intuitive, permitting
anyone to quickly master the system's operation.
2
Exceptional Sound Quality - Often overlooked as an unimportant aspect of a multi-room
stereo system and at times difficult to describe as a major selling feature, sound quality
is a critical consideration. If you were spending thousands of dollars on an entertainment
system, wouldn't you expect it to sound great. The Genesis delivers superb high-current
amplification which will more effectively drive in-wall speakers. The switching and
amplification stage of the Genesis are also very clean with an amplified output THD
rating less than 0.09%.
3
Durability & Value - As with all major ADA components, the Genesis is constructed from
an all-metal chassis and includes a caliber of parts rarely found in custom installed
electronic products. Unlike some other multi-room system, the Genesis is engineered
to perform for many years.
4
Flexibility & Design Options - The Genesis comes complete with an entire family of
keypads, and accessories. While the most common keypad is the MC-1111, many other
control options exist permitting you to design the system to better fit your client's lifestyle
and design esthetic. Furthermore, many accessories allow you to truly customize a
system without having to include expensive home-automation type controllers.
5
Ease Of Installation & Dependability- The Genesis is designed to be swiftly installed
permitting you to proceed to your next project. In addition to being an installer's "dream
system", the Genesis is extremely dependable, operating on a control system (System
10 {circa 1977} and System 100 {circa 1988}) that has been in use for nearly 20 years).
