Operations Guide – DOC. 6458 Audio Distribution System: Adagio AADS • 1
Audio Distribution System Crestron Adagio™ AADS
Multi-Room Audio
The AADS supports up to six sets of stereo room speakers, allowing listeners in each
room to listen selectively to any of six different stereo sources. Its integrated multichannel power amplifier delivers a robust 45 watts per channel to all rooms. Without
requiring any programming, the AADS 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.
Front Panel Control
The AADS's front panel provides for controlling audio to a houseful of speakers,
with custom naming of rooms and sources facilitated on the LCD display. The six
room select buttons can also be custom labeled 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 within the Preset mode.
Versatile Room Controls
A choice of basic 12-button keypads or the advanced APAD Wall Mount LCD
Controller enables versatile control of the AADS 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
provides true feedback for display of audio sources, radio stations, CD titles, artists,
and tracks by name, plus audio settings and many other parameters.
Dual AM/FM Radio, XM Radio, and MP3 Audio Servers
Two built-in AM/FM radio tuners let listeners in different rooms each enjoy their
own choice of music, news, sports and talk. RDS/RBDS enables the display of the
full radio station name and other detailed information about the song or program that
is selected.
The AADS-XM includes an XM Satellite Radio tuner for additional programming
variety.
In addition to radio, four line-level inputs are provided to accommodate external
audio sources including Crestron's AAS Audio Server and CEN-IDOC Interface for
Apple iPod. Plug-and-play compatibility with the AAS and CEN-IDOC delivers
instant access to an entire collection of music from any room in the house with fullybidirectional communications for browsing by album, artist, and song title.

Crestron Adagio™ AADS Audio Distribution System
2-Series Ethernet Control System
At the heart of the AADS is the powerful 2-Series control engine. With both
Cresnet® and Ethernet connectivity, plus custom programmability using Crestron
SystemBuilder™ software, the AADS 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 and RS-232 ports are included to
interface the AADS with non-Crestron devices ranging from CD changers to security
systems.
Home Automation and Integration
The AADS can 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.

Hardware Hookup
The AADS should be used in a well-ventilated area The venting holes should not be
obstructed under any circumstances. If the AADS 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 AADS prior to making any wiring connections.
When using the out-of-the-box functionality, the AADS can support up to 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 AADS.
• CEN-IDOC (Optional): The audio output of the CEN-IDOC must be
connected to source input port 4 on the AADS when using the out-of-thebox configuration. The CEN-IDOC and AADS must be connected to the
same DHCP router.
• AAS Devices (Optional): Source input ports 1 through 3 are reserved for
the different variations of the AAS. The AAS and AADS must be
connected to the same DHCP router.
⇒ AAS-1: The audio output of the AAS-1 must be connected to source
input port 1.

⇒ AAS-2: Audio output A of the AAS-2 must be connected to source
input port 1 and audio output B must be connected to source input port
2.
⇒ AAS-4: Audio output A of the AAS-4 must be connected to source
input port 1. Audio output B must be connected to source input port 2.
Audio output C must be connected to source input port 3. Audio output
D must be connected to source input port 4.
NOTE: If a CEN-IDOC is part of the system, audio output D cannot
be used since the CEN-IDOC is connected to source input port 4.
• 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 AADS. If an AAE is connected, six more APADs or
C2N-DBF12 devices can be connected.
• AAE (Optional): One AAE can be connected to the AADS’ loop-through
ports and tuner outputs.
NOTE: When using the out-of-the-box functionality, the Net ID of the
AAE is automatically set to its default value (31) when identifying keypads
(refer to page 28). For information on other methods of setting the AAE’s
Net ID, refer to the latest version of the AAE guide (Doc. 6460) which is
available from the Crestron website (www.crestron.com/manuals).
The connections shown in the following diagram must be made for the AADS 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: Devices such as the AAS and the AAE must be fully grounded to the
AADS. Additionally, any other source devices should be grounded to the AADS as
well.
NOTE: The AADS 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.
NOTE: The AADSI (International version) requires a power cord that is
harmonized to the country’s national and local electrical code. Each inner wire in the
cord should be at least 16 AWG or (1.5 mm2) and rated for at least 500V. The
temperature rating of the cord should be at least 60ºC. The cord length should be 1.5
meters to 2 meters.
