1. Introduction 

Exceptional Performance 

The D5SH Digital Audio Distribution Hub is capable of providing a complete single source, four zone 
audio distribution system. Additionally, the D5SH has the capability to expand to additional zones 
using a second Digital Audio Distribution Hub.   

About DIGI-5 Technology 

DIGI-5 is a revolutionary new technology standard that provides a complete end-to-end digital audio 
solution over CAT-5 wiring. DIGI-5 is based on advanced digital distribution and amplification circuits 
that allow multi-room audio systems to be installed quickly and cost effectively. 
 
DIGI-5 is a collaboratively developed technology that is licensed by the Linear Home Technology 
Group and is being initially integrated on a Linear group-wide basis, targeted to expand market and 
consumer acceptance of such systems.

Defining Terms 

Zone 

A Zone is defined as an area of the house that has separate source selection capabilities from all 
other areas of the house. Typically, a zone is comprised of a single room, but it is possible for a zone 
to spread across multiple rooms (kitchen/dining room, master bedroom/master bath) or for multiple 
zones to be contained in one room (game room/bar area or multiple zones in the yard). 

Local Source / Source 

A Source is any audio (or audio/video) device that is connected to the D5IP source input plates that 
are connected to the D5SH. Any Source can be heard in any zone in the system.
