The Adagio Entertainment System (AES) from Crestron
®
delivers a
complete, cost-effective solution for high-performance multi-room audio
distribution. Right out of the box, the AES provides sophisticated audio
signal routing, processing, and amplification for up to 6 rooms, with
extensive expansion capabilities and room control options. Its built-in
Crestron control system enables enhanced control and integration
capability for AV and home automation.
Multi-Room Audio
The AES distributes stereo audio from up to 10 different stereo sources
to speakers in up to 6 different rooms, allowing listeners in each room
to enjoy their own choice of radio stations, CDs and MP3s. Each room
includes its own volume, bass, and treble controls, with the ability to
combine a group of rooms easily at the press of the “Party Mode” button.
Its integrated multi-channel power amplifier delivers a robust 45 watts
per channel to all rooms. Without requiring any programming, the AES can
easily be expanded to support another six rooms by adding an AAE Audio
Expander
[1]
. In fact, a total of three AAE’s may be added to handle as many
as 24 rooms, with simple setup afforded using Crestron Adagio
Composer software
[2]
.
High-End Performance
An advanced Class G amplifier topology produces the great sound of a
classic Class AB design with near-digital efficiency. A massive MOH-core
toroidal power transformer directs pure, continuous power to each
channel, achieving exceptional dynamic range and low distortion sound
quality in every room. Gentle power-up is achieved through a “soft-start”
inrush current limiting circuit, and quick-response output protection on
each channel prevents failure caused by speaker line faults
and overheating.
Satellite & Internet Radio Multi-Tuner
Up to three ATC-Series tuner cards can be installed in the AES to enable
combinations of AM/FM terrestrial radio, XM
®
satellite radio, and Internet
radio tuners. With up to six tuners possible, the AES lets listeners in
different rooms each enjoy their own choice of music, news, sports and
talk. Metadata such as the radio station name, song and artist, traffic,
weather, and phone numbers can be displayed on the AES’s front panel,
and on touch screens and controllers throughout the house. Every AES
model comes with one tuner card included, and the modular design makes
it easy to expand or alter the tuner configuration at any time as needs
change or new services become available.

Plug-and-Play Media Sources
In addition to radio, the AES provides ten line-level inputs to accommodate
external audio sources (Inputs 1-6 are shared with the tuner card slots).
Native compatibility with the ADMS Intermedia Delivery System
™[1]
provides a quick path to enjoying the ultimate in multi-zone audio with
your Adagio system. Providing up to three independent audio zone outputs,
the ADMS lets you play and store your entire music collection while
simultaneously providing access to endless downloadable and
streaming Web content. Or, choose the Crestron iServer
®
(CEN-ISERVER
[1]
)
or Interface for Apple
®
iPod
®
(CEN-IDOCV or CEN-IDOCV-DSW
[1]
) for a very
cost-effective, high-quality music player solution that works with Adagio
without requiring any special programming.

Enhanced Front Panel Control
With its large backlit LCD display, dual rotary controls, and easy-access
pushbuttons, the AES’s front panel provides a very powerful, yet friendly
user interface for setting up and controlling the complete multiroom audio
system. Custom naming of rooms, groups, and sources is facilitated on
the LCD display as well as above each ROOM and GROUP button. Custom
backlit labeling of the buttons is achieved using an assortment of pre-
made labels included, or by ordering the AES Backlit Engravable Label
Strip (model AES/AMS FRONT LABEL
[1]
).
Preset Groups
The “Group” feature makes it simple to combine speakers in adjacent
rooms, or switch into whole-house party mode, by letting the user link any
number of rooms to function as one. Grouping lets you easily route one
source to multiple rooms at once without the sync problems common to
streaming-based systems. Up to 6 groups can be defined using the front
panel PRESET GROUP buttons.
