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

keypad to the AES, consider the following:
• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
• Provide sufficient power to the system.
CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage
to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate
how much power is needed for the system
(http://www.crestron.com/calculators
• For larger networks, Use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain
signal quality
).
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.
