AH10 AA-B

BUS audio hhub

The AH10 is located alongside source components which means

you have two AH10 location options:

1. Locate AH10 and source components in any convenient discreet

location with adequate ventilation within the home (such as an

under-stair cupboard, service room or cabinet), or...

2. If it is desired to use the same sources for the Incognito system as

are being used by a conventional stereo or surround sound system

it is possible to route source equipment through the AH10 for 

output through existing hi-fi or home cinema amplifiers whilst also

distributing them to the rest of your home via the Incognito system. 

Should this be required, your existing audio source equipment 

would be first connected to the AH10 and then routed from the six

loop out sockets on the AH10 to the amplifier/receiver in your

system via high quality audio interconnect cable terminated at each

end by phono/RCA plugs.

Similarly video source equipment may be connected to the VH10

and then routed from the six loop out sockets on the VH10 to the AV

receiver in a home cinema setup using phono/RCA cables designed

for video use.

For this configuration the AH10 should be located behind your

existing system.

It is suggested that you locate keypads:

138cm height from the floor finish (to centre
of keypad) or taking into account light switch
locations etc 

25-35cm away from the outer edge of any
door frame or wall edge

Away from direct, bright sunlight which may
affect infra-red performance

AH10 location is critical
See opposite for details

In a bedroom it is suggested that you locate
speakers above or close to bed location for
optimal stereo reproduction

Locate speakers in all 
rooms taking into account
location of furnishings for
optimal stereo reproduction
