Standard Features
Based on a single chassis design, the Genesis includes everything that is needed for a full-
function multi-room audio system. These features include the following:
1
Source Input Switching - Three source components can be included on a
Genesis System. Button caps are easily interchangeable and a complete
library of buttons are available from ADA.
2
Record Output - The Genesis includes a "Record Output" which can
provide a fixed line level audio signal to a surround sound processor and/
or cassette player (or other recording device). Since most systems will be
installed to independently turn on source components only as needed, the
Genesis front panel provides a "Record Power" switch that will provide
power to all three switched source outlets for recording purposes, even if
all rooms are off.
3
Audio Processor Loop - The Genesis includes a "Processor Loop" to
permit you to include an external equalizer for additional acoustical
contouring of the entire home's audio signal. This processor loop output
can also be split to provide a preamplified audio signal to an external
power amplifier used for sound reinforcement of a particular room. The
split is necessary to not only provide a preamplified signal to this additional
amplifier but also to return the preamplified audio signal (Loop In) to the
Genesis for the other rooms' amplification.
4
Source AC Control - The Genesis system provides two levels of source
AC control. The basic AC is built-in and will turn the three sources on, one
at a time, when a particular source is selected.
5
Main AC Switched Outlet - The Genesis includes a "Main" switched AC
outlet which can be used to engage an equalizer when any one room is
turned on. This "main" switched outlet is also used when combining a
Genesis System with a home theater system. The "main" switched AC
outlet can be used to switch a transformer on (which provides a low
voltage trigger to ADA's ACC-3 Dual Input Low Voltage Triggered Switched
AC Outlet). The second trigger for the ACC-3 will come off of the home
theater system such that when either the Genesis or home theater system
are turned on, the sources common to both the Genesis and home theater
system (those plugged into the ACC-3), will also turn on.
6
Source IR Control - The Genesis incorporates a built-in IR learning device
which can perform three transport functions for each of the three sources
(typically FM, CD, & CASS). One of these three functions is sent to the
source when the source is first selected, the second is accessed when the
source button is repeatedly tapped, and the third function is accessed by
holding down the source button. The Genesis learns these codes from the
source's original hand-held remote control and can be continuously
changed or added to.
