System Overview
The Digital Audio System distributes four sources to up to sixteen zones, with features such as
access to digital audio content from Internet Radio, streaming services, and networked devices,
as well as analog components. It is controllable through the system’s amplified keypads, as well
as convenient iOS and Android apps for mobile devices.
The system begins with the Digital Audio Distribution Module (AU7000) which distributes up to
four audio sources to four zones. The audio is digitally transmitted from the sources to a zone’s
Digital Audio Amplified Keypad (AU7010-XX). This system can be expanded to up to sixteen
zones using up to three Digital Audio Expansion Modules (AU7004). Source options include the
Digital Input Module (AU7001) which provides access to content such as Pandora, Rhapsody,
SiriusXM (subscription needed), and TuneIn, as well as networked iTunes or Windows Media
library content, NAS drive music files, and more. Analog sources can also be accommodated
with use of the Digital Audio Local Source Input (AU7008-XX) and the Digital Audio Global
Source Input (AU7007-XX). The AU7010-XX keypads are the standard power device, providing
20 watts of power to a zone. Common functions like power on/off, volume, mute, and source
selection can be controlled directly from this keypad. Additionally, the keypad offers a favorite
feature that enables users to set a favorite music or news source at a preferred volume by
pressing and holding the favorite button. The keypad will then allow users to press the favorite
button and return to that source/volume quickly.
Easy to use, the Digital Audio System is a flexible, feature-rich, and accessible structured wiring
audio solution.
