Entertainment System Crestron Adagio™ AES
Multi-Room Audio
The AES supports up to six sets of stereo room speakers, allowing listeners in each
room to listen selectively to any of 10 different stereo sources. 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 a total of 12
rooms by adding an AAE Audio Expander. Or, as many as 24 rooms can be handled
using three AAEs with simple setup provided by Crestron Adagio Composer
software.
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.
Enhanced Front Panel Control
With its large backlit LCD display, room and group select buttons, four softkeys and
dual rotary encoders, the AES front panel provides a very powerful, yet friendly user
interface for controlling audio to a houseful of speakers. Custom naming of rooms,
groups, and sources is facilitated on the LCD display, and also on the custom label
strip using Crestron Engraver software.
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 six groups
can be defined using the front panel preset group buttons.
Versatile Room Controls
A choice of basic 12-button keypads or the advanced APAD Wall Mount LCD
Controller enables versatile control of the AES in every room. A keypad provides the
essential controls for adjusting volume, selecting sources, and toggling up and down
through tracks and radio channels. For more elegant control, the APAD actually
extends the many functions of the AES front panel to each room, providing true
feedback for display of audio sources, radio stations, CD titles, artists, and tracks by
name, plus audio settings and many other parameters.
Satellite Radio and MP3 Audio Servers
Up to three dual radio tuner cards can be installed in the AES to enable combinations
of up to six AM/FM, XM and SIRIUS Satellite Radio tuners, letting listeners in
different rooms each enjoy their own choice of music, news, sports and talk. With
satellite's digital signal, plus RDS/RBDS data on the FM signal, the AES enables the
display of the full radio station name and other detailed information about the song
or program that is selected. The AES comes with one tuner card included.
In addition to radio, ten line-level inputs are provided (Inputs 1-6 are shared with the
tuner card slots) to accommodate external audio sources including Crestron's AAS
Audio Server and CEN-IDOC Interface for Apple iPod
