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 multi­channel 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
2 Entertainment System: Adagio AES Operations Guide – DOC. 6456B
®
. Plug-and-play
Crestron Adagio™ AES Entertainment System
compatibility with the AAS and CEN-IDOC delivers instant access to an entire collection of music from any room in the house with fully bidirectional communications for browsing by album, artist, and song title.
2-Series Ethernet Control System
Adagio brings Crestron's industry-leading Total Home Technology to homes of any size and budget. At the heart of the AES is the 2-Series control engine. With both Cresnet SystemBuilder™ software, the AES allows customization using Crestron's entire line of touchpanels, wireless remotes, and hundreds of other devices. The built-in Web server with native e-Control®2 XPanel support enables full remote control over IP from computers and PDA devices, as well as remote diagnostics and updates. Built­in IR, RS-232, relay and digital input ports are included to interface the AES with non-Crestron devices ranging from CD changers to security systems.
Home Automation and Integration
More than just an audio distribution system, the AES can actually grow as part of a complete home automation solution supporting all of Crestron's Cresnet and infiNET™ controllable dimmers, shade controllers, thermostats, and so much more.

and Ethernet connectivity, plus custom programmability using Crestron

).
Ventilation
Out-of-the-box Connections
For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” on page 71.

Hardware Hookup

The AES should be used in a well-ventilated area. Do not block any ventilation openings. The venting holes should not be obstructed under any circumstances. If the AES is hot to the touch, consider using forced air ventilation and/or incrementing the spacing between units.
To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds the environmental temperature range listed in the table of specifications. Consideration must be given if installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly since the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient. Contact with thermal insulating materials should be avoided on all sides of the unit.
WARNING: To prevent injury and / or equipment damage due to electric shock, disconnect power from the AES prior to making any wiring connections.
When using the out-of-the-box functionality, the AES can support up to two tuner cards, one AAE, one CEN-IDOC, one AAS-1/-2/-4, and any combination of six APAD or C2N-DBF12 control devices (plus an additional six on the AAE if connected). Observe the following when connecting hardware to the AES.
Tuner Cards (Optional): Tuner cards must be installed in slots 1 and 2. In the out-of-the-box configuration, a card cannot be installed in slot 3. Source input ports 1 and 2 are unavailable for other sources when a tuner card is installed in slot 1. Source input ports 3 and 4 are unavailable for other sources when a tuner card is installed in slot 2. For information on connecting antennas to a tuner card, refer to the respective tuner card’s guide.
NOTE: If the AES is powered down and the tuner card(s) are changed, the previously saved source names will be assigned to the new card when the
Operations Guide – DOC. 6456B Entertainment System: Adagio AES 17
Entertainment System Crestron Adagio™ AES
AES is powered. For example, if an ATC-AMFMXM card has been replaced with an ATC-AMFMSR card, the AES will retain the source names (i.e. AM, FM, XM, or custom) that were assigned to the ATC-AMFMXM card. To have the AES recognize the new cards and use the default source names (S1 AM/FM, S1 XM, etc.), restore the default settings as described on page 31.
CEN-IDOC (Optional): The audio output of the CEN-IDOC must be connected to source input port 5 on the AES when using the out-of-the-box configuration. The CEN-IDOC and AES must be connected to the same DHCP router.
AAS Devices (Optional): Source input ports 7 through 10 are reserved for the different variations of the AAS. The AAS and AES must be connected to the same DHCP router.
AAS-1: The audio output of the AAS-1 must be connected to source input port 7.
AAS-2: Audio output A of the AAS-2 must be connected to source input port 7 and audio output B must be connected to source input port
8.
AAS-4: Audio output A of the AAS-4 must be connected to source input port 7. Audio output B must be connected to source input port 8. Audio output C must be connected to source input port 9, and audio output D must be connected to source input port 10.
Control Devices (Optional): Any combination of six APADs or C2N-DBF12 devices can be connected to any of the six NET ports on the rear of the AES. If an AAE is connected, six more APADs or C2N-DBF12 devices can be connected.
AAE (Optional): One AAE can be connected to the AES’ loop-through ports.
NOTE: The AAE must be set to its default Net ID value (31). For information on setting the AAE’s Net ID, refer to the latest version of the AAE guide (Doc. 6460) which is available from the Crestron website.
The connections shown in the following diagram must be made for the AES to properly control and switch connected devices when using the out-of-the-box functionality.
CAUTION: Speakers must be rated to full available output.
CAUTION: Do not bridge speaker outputs.
CAUTION: All tuner cards should be securely installed in the AES.
CAUTION: Devices such as the AAS and the AAE must be fully grounded to the
AES. Additionally, any other source devices should be grounded to the AES as well.
NOTE: The AES can only be powered by the included power cord. Power cannot be supplied from network devices that are connected to the mini-terminal block connectors.
