7.1 Surround Sound

The AMS features a surround sound processor and 7-channel amplifier designed for use with digital and analog audio sources. Dolby® Digital EX and DTS-ES Neo:6 96/24 decoding provides excellent sound quality from DVD video and audio titles, with a full set of decoding and processing modes available to enhance the vast range of movies and music available.

High-End Audio Performance

With 7x100 Watts of amplification and a discrete subwoofer/LFE balanced line output, the AMS can drive any 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 theater speaker system with powered subwoofer. A Class G amplifier topology produces the sound of a Class AB design with near-digital efficiency. A six-band parametric EQ is provided on each output channel including the subwoofer/LFE output with time-delay (up to 100 ms per channel) for proper lip-sync and speaker placement compensation.

Audyssey MultEQ® XT

Audyssey MultEQ XT facilitates an optimum listening experience for every seat in your theater using an equalization solution that corrects for both time and frequency response problems. MultEQ XT accurately measures sound response throughout the listening area, and combines that information to accurately represent the acoustical problems in the room. Based on these measurements, MultEQ XT calculates an equalization solution that effectively minimizes response distortion at every listening position.

AV Inputs and Outputs

The AMS supplies a total of 10 S/PDIF digital audio inputs, three HDMI inputs, 10 analog stereo inputs, and one analog 7.1 surround input. In addition to its speaker and subwoofer outputs, the AMS has unbalanced line-level audio outputs containing the 7.1 surround signal as well as a stereo downmix signal. High-definition video switching is also provided for eight HDTV/component, four S-video, fo ur composite, and three HDMI sources.

High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI™) Technology

The AMS's HDMI inputs and output provide quick connectivity for high-end components, providing a single-cable digital interface that combines uncompressed high-definition video, multi-channel audio, and intelligent format and command data. HDMI switching supports the routing of DVD and DTV sources to a single HDTV display up to 1080p, and can decode digital audio signals from DVD-Audio, SACD, Dolby Digital and DTS sources.

2 • Media System: Adagio AMS Operations Guide – DOC. 6509B

Multi-Room Audio

In addition to surround sound in the home theater, the AMS also distributes stereo audio to several pairs of remote room speakers. Listeners in each room can enjoy their own choice of radio stations, CDs and MP3s, or even a stereo downmix of the surround sound output. Each room includes its own volume, bass, and treble

Page 7

Crestron Adagio® AMS Media System

controls, with the ability to combine a group of rooms easily at the press of the "Party Mode" button. With additional programming, the AMS can also be configured with five other room groups (in addition to the Party mode).

The integrated multi-room amplifier delivers 45 watts per channel to each of four rooms. A fifth stereo room, or up to two mono rooms, can be supported using spare surround channels if the theater is configured as 6.1, 5.1, or lower.

Without any programming, the AMS can be expanded to support another six rooms by adding an AAE Audio Expander. With Crestron Adagio Composer software, a total of three AAEs can be added, supporting up to 24 rooms in all (plus the theater).

2-Channel Steering

For homes that combine their theater with their main living space, some additional signal routing flexibility is needed. Listening to stereo music through the theater's main front speakers can have a distracting effect when there's music playing throughout the house. With 2-channel and multi-channel steering capability, the AMS lets you listen through the theater's side or rear speakers instead of, or in addition to, the front speakers for the most cohesive whole-house listening experience.

Satellite Radio

Up to three dual radio tuner cards can be installed in the AMS to enable combinations of up to six AM/FM, XM and SIRIUS® Satellite Radio tuners, letting listeners in different rooms enjoy their own choice of music, news, sports and talk. For satellite and many FM stations, the AMS displays data such as the radio station name, song and artist, traffic, weather, and phone numbers. The AMS comes with one tuner card included.

Audio Servers

Plug-and-play compatibility with Crestron's AAS Adagio Audio Server and CEN-IDOC Interface for Apple iPod® delivers instant access to an entire collection of music from any room in the house with the ability to browse by album, artist, or song title.

Enhanced Front Panel Control

With its large backlit LCD display, room and preset buttons, four soft buttons, and dual rotary encoders, the AMS front panel provides a very powerful, yet friendly user interface for setting up and controlling the theater along with a houseful of speakers. Custom naming of rooms, groups, and sources is performed on the LCD display, and also on the custom label strip using Crestron Engraver software. A selection of pre-made labels is also included.

Versatile Room Controls

A choice of basic 12-button keypads or the advanced APAD Wall Mount LCD Controller enables versatile control of the AMS in every room. A keypad provides the essential controls for adjusting volume, selecting sources, and switching tracks and radio channels. For more elegant control, the APAD extends the many functions of the AMS front panel to each room, displaying audio source names, radio stations, CD titles, artists, and tracks, audio settings and many other parameters.

Media System Crestron Adagio® AMS

2-Series Ethernet Control System

At the heart of the AMS is the powerful 2-Series control engine. With both Cresnet and Ethernet connectivity, plus custom programmability using Crestron SystemBuilder™ software, the AMS allows nearly limitless expansion and 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. Built-in IR, RS-232, relay and digital input ports are included to interface the AMS with non-Crestron devices ranging from CD changers to security systems.

Home Automation and Integration

The AMS can grow as part of a complete home automation solution supporting all of Crestron's Cresnet and infiNET™ controllable dimmers, shade controllers, thermostats, and other devices.

Applications

The following diagram shows an AMS as the centerpiece of an Adagio system using out-of-the-box functionality.

AMS Control Devices

If optional Adagio tuner cards are installed, refer to the latest version of the respective tuner card’s Installation Guide for information on connecting the required antenna(s).

WARNING: Tuner cards must not be installed or removed when the AMS is connected to AC power. Failure to disconnect AC power prior to installing or removing tuning cards may damage the AMS or the tuner card(s).

NOTE: If using the AMS’ out-of-the-box functionality, only two tuner cards can be installed. The tuner cards must be installed in slots 1 and 2.

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. Source input ports 5 and 6 are unavailable for other sources when a tuner card is installed in slot 3.

When tuner cards are installed in an AMS that is connected to an AAE, loop-through output ports 1 through 6 on the AMS are connected to source input ports 1 through 6 on the AAE.

Any combination of six AMS control devices such as the APAD or the C2N-DBF12 can be simultaneously connected to the powered NET ports located on the upper-left side of the rear panel. An additional APAD can also be connected to a NET port for control of the theater room.

• Turn the selection knob until the desired Surround Sound mode is

⇒ Automatic – The AMS will automatically select the Surround

Sound mode based on the selected input.

⇒ Stereo – Sound is processed into left and right front channels. ⇒ Dolby PLII(x) Movie – This setting is for use with VCRs,

television shows, and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is an enhanced soundfield that approaches the quality of discrete 7.1-channel sound.

⇒ Dolby PLII(x) Music – This setting is for use with any stereo

music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space.

⇒ DTS Neo:6 Cinema – This setting is optimum for playing movies.

Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with

6.1-channel sources. This setting is effective for playing sources recorded in conventional surround formats as well, because the inphase component is assigned mainly to the center channel and the reversed phase component to the surround (left, right, and back) channels.

⇒ DTS Neo:6 Music – This setting is suited mainly for playing

music. The front (left and right) channel signals bypass the decoder and are played directly, so there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of the surround signals output from the center and the surround (left, right, and back) channe ls add a natural sense of expansion to the sound field.

⇒ 2 Channel Surround – This setting is used to play stereo source

material in its pure unprocessed form. The signal is steered to the surround speakers.

⇒ 2-Channel-Rear – This setting is used to play stereo source

material in its pure unprocessed form. The signal is steered to the rear speakers.

⇒ Multi-Channel Stereo – Steers the left and right audio signals to

all of the theater speakers.
