The Channel Vision A-BUS system
can distribute high-quality audio to every room in your house over
ordinary CAT5 data wire. Power for the entire system is delivered via
the same CAT5 cable so only a single run of CAT5 is required. Each
pair of speakers is powered and controlled from a local wall plate with
a dedicated amplifier for that zone. Volume in that zone can be
controlled manually or by an infrared remote. IR signals are also
routed back to the source components enabling control of sources and
functions from any zone.

AB-114 amplified keypad ... 1 per
speaker pair. Drives the speakers,
controls volume and relays IR
information. Mount the AB-114 in single
gang low-voltage ring or deep J-box (if
required by code). Blue LEDs show
volume level. Keypad completely mutes
when bottom LED is off. (No amplifier
hiss like some other non-A-BUS
systems.)

AB-301 ... Universal input module. Can be
used to provide local source input in any
room and/or to replace the AB-202. The
AB-301 is a great way to enable simple

Basic system
In this system
Four rooms listen to the same audio program. Each room
has independent volume controls.
Using the IR option, you can control the components from
any room. You can change the system input from FM to
the CD player, select another satellite radio station, or
pause the CD.
Using the status option, the systems mutes and conserves
power when the receiver is off. When the receiver is
turned back on, all amplified keypads return to the last
volume level.
(See corresponding numbers on opposite page)

Loop out ... Use this to expand to an additional AB-404.
This connector only provides audio signals to an additional
AB-404. It cannot be used to directly connect a 5th AB-114
to the system.
2
Cat-5 cables ... Follow color codes as shown.
Use 110 punch down tool only. (Never use a screwdriver to
punch down UTP wires. It will give intermittent connections
and damage or destroy the 110 connector.)
3
Volume indicators... The LEDs indicate the volume level. If
the Status is <off>, the LEDs will be dark. Pressing the
UP/DOWN keys will light the LEDs for a short period to show
the stored volume level.
Single zone system ... This is a single zone system. Even
though there are 4 pairs of speakers being driven, there is only
one source being fed to them at a time. All speakers play the
same audio. Easy to use, single zone systems are ideal for all
public spaces (kitchen, entry, family room, patio). Imagine
walking from room to room and your music follows. If music is
part of your life, the Channel Vision A-BUS system will make
music a part of your house.
