Four-Zone/Eight-Room A-BUS ® Expansion Hub
With the ABH 4000, you’re no longer limited to listening to the same music in each room. When connected between up to
four sources and your AVR, or when used with the DMC 1000, the ABH 4000 lets you easily create up to four zones with
separate sources so everyone can listen to what he or she wants to hear. Connect a Harman Kardon A-BUS-equipped AVR via
a simple link and you can add the receiver’s tuner, XM Radio or The Bridge (when equipped) to the list of sources. Thanks to
the ABH 4000, multizone whole-house audio has never been so simple, or so affordable.
4-Room A-BUS ® Expansion Hub
With the ABH 4, no room in the house need be without music, no matter which AVR is in use. For existing systems linked
to A-BUS/
READY
products, the ABH 4 allows you to power up to four rooms, or even more with additional ABH 4 hubs. For
systems without an A-BUS/
READY
jack, the ABH 4’s onboard audio inputs add the simplicity of A-BUS to any multichannel
or stereo receiver with a “Tape” or “Multiroom” output; you can even use it directly with a CD or DVD player or outboard tuner
to bring music to any room.
Amplified In-Wall Module With Onboard Controls for A-BUS Applications
The perfect mate to the ABH 4000 or to any A-BUS/
READY
Harman Kardon AVR, the AB 2 lets you select and control your
listening source, raise or lower the volume for the AB 2’s internal power amplifier or turn the system on or off. A built-in IR
sensor completes the package, which means you may use the included AVR remote or almost any Harman Kardon remote to
control compatible sources.
Amplified In-Wall Module for A-BUS Applications
The innovative A-BUS system makes it incredibly easy to bring Harman Kardon sound to a remote room. Thanks to a built-in
amplifier and a single-cable connection to any A-BUS/
READY
receiver or the ABH 4, all you need to do is connect the speakers
and use your second-zone remote or the up/down volume control, and musical pleasure is yours throughout your home.
External Infrared Remote Sensor
Stay in command. Whether a Harman Kardon product is hidden behind doors or connected to another room, this external
IR sensor allows the use of any compatible remote control to operate your Harman Kardon system.

Products
Why limit your listening to just one room? Harman Kardon makes it easy to enjoy your favorites in almost any
room in the house. All 7.1-channel Harman Kardon receivers feature assignable rear-channel amps, a second-
zone control system and (except for the AVR 245) a second-zone remote control, making it easy to power a
second room without an additional amplifier.
