ABUS-HUB4X8 A 4 Input / 4 Zone (8 Output) Hub For The A-Bus system

ABUS is a revolutionary new technology created to simply and affordably distribute music in commercial and home applications. ABUS works with inexpensive 8-conductor (CAT 5) wire to distribute audio, infrared, status and system power to the ABUS in-wall controller/amplifier.

The HUB4x8 is the core of the ABUS system. There are four stereo line-level source inputs. Each input has individual level adjustments (left and right). Each source input has its routed emitter port, if more that one component of the same type is used the remote control commands will not be confused. E.g. 2 tuners. There is also a common emitter port to control components that are common to all zones.

Each of the ABUS Outputs provides the power, audio and data signals to feed a Volume Control Module. There are four output zones, each zone may independently select from any of the four sources. Each zone has two outputs bank "A" and bank "B". One power supply is supplied with the hub to power the outputs for one bank. A second power supply (p/n APS-40) can be added to power the second bank or alternatively the second output can be used as an expansion port to feed one or more single source hubs with expansion capability.

ABUS-MS1

Multi-Source Audio Selector for the A-Bus System

Price
ABUS-MS1ABUS,MULTI-SOURCE AUDIO SELECTOR$ 242.00 ea.$ 214.29 ea.
ABUS-MS1 Multi-Source Audio Selector for the A-Bus System

ABUS is a revolutionary new technology created to simply and affordably distribute music in commercial and home applications. ABUS works with inexpensive 8-conductor (CAT 5) wire to distribute audio, infrared, status and system power to the ABUS in-wall controller/amplifier.

Where there is no main system amplifier, the ABUS-MS1 Input Selector enables the A-BUS system to operate independently by providing inputs for switching up to four source components.

The selector's four stereo RCA-jack inputs accept audio line level signal from source components, such as tuners, CD players, DVD players, cable boxes, etc. Any of the Selector's inputs may be chosen via remote control commands. The four loop-outs will send the audio signal on to the next component without loss or gain.

There are four emitter ports to control source components if required, a 12-volt trigger output for power switching and an infrared pass-through to control other devices.

No separate power supply is required because the Input Selector is powered via it's connection to the A-BUS system. A standard RJ-45 patch lead (568A) is required between the A-BUS output and the expansion input port of an A-BUS hub. (ABUS-HUB1X4)

Features:

  • 4 Stereo Line Level Inputs With 4 Stereo Line Level Outputs
  • 4 IR Emitter Ports
  • Powered From Hub
