System Function

System Function Description

The ES2 Stream 2 system is designed to wirelessly transmit audio source signal from one location to a dedicated wireless audio amplier. The audio amplier is then connected to any general purpose loudspeaker.

The ES2 Stream 2 Transmitter is a high performance device that converts the incoming analog line level signal to a digital format that is then broadcast over the 2.4 GHz spectrum. The radio frequency broadcast is digital, uncompressed, CD quality data. The broadcast signal is uniquely formatted so that any ES2 Stream 2 Receiver can receive and convert into useful audio output.

The ES2 Stream 2 All Digital Wireless™ (ADW) Amplier is an integrated ES2 Stream 2 Receiver and All Digital Amplier™ system that is designed to link to the ES2 Stream 2 Transmitter, receive the digital audio broadcast and convert it to a signal that drives a local speaker.

The ES2 ADW Amplier is readily congured to drive a pair of speakers in Stereo mode - Left and Right, or in a Bi-Amp mode - both output channels are congured Left and Left, or Right and Right and in Mono mode - both output channels are summed for Mono and Mono output.

Both the ES2 Transmitter and ADW Amplier are equipped to operate with 3 different Housecodes. Each Housecode is a unique formatting of the broadcast digital data so that components operating and linked on one Housecode will not receive or interfere with other ES2 components operating on a different Housecode.

The multiple Housecodes permits operation of up to three different zones within the same RF broadcast area.

FEATURES

• Lossless, Uncompressed, CD quality streaming audio network, sample rate 48 kHz.

• Dedicated 2.4 GHz streaming audio network, not interfered with by WiFi networks or other 2.4 GHz devices such as cordless phones and microwaves.

• Simple to set-up, plug and play

• No time delay or data drops

• Unlimited linking of ES2 Stream 2 ADW Ampliers to each ES2 Transmitter

Troubleshooting

No wireless connection

1. Make sure both the transmitter and amplier are operating on the same house code.

2. Make sure receiver is within the broadcast range of the transmitter.

Wireless Connection, but no sound

1. Make sure the audio source is properly connected, analog line level L/R (1 Vrms max)

2. Verify Transmitter and Amplier are operating on the same House Code.

Operational Congurations

Stereo - Basic Set-up, connect to appropriate line level analog source.

Hi-Fi Mono Block

Use 1 ES2 ADW amplier on each monitor, see Bi-Amp set-up instruction. Program the Left monitor amplier to operate in the “LEFT” mode, see Programming section. Program the Right monitor amplier to operate in the “RIGHT” mode.

Wireless link Surround Back Channels of Home Theater System - Connect ES2 Stream 2 Transmitter to the Pre-Amp output for the Surround L/R. A second Transmitter can be connected to the Surround Rear L/R channels as well by using a different Housecode on the Transmitter and Amplier, See Multi-Zone Set-Up section.

Commercial/Distributed

Connect the ES2 Stream 2 Transmitter to the desired analog line level source. Program each ES2 ADW Amplier to operate in the MONO/MONO mode. This will enable a fully expandable sound system to operate within range of the Transmitter.

Multi Zone

The ES2 Stream 2 system permits up to 3 unique zones within a common RF coverage area, see Creating Multiple Zones section.

Creating Multiple Zones

ES2 Stream 2 System is capable of supporting three independent audio networks within a common broadcast zone. Thus three different audio sources can be utilized in the same common area. The Stream 2 ADW Ampliers can be selected to link with any of the three sources.

The default setting is both the Stream 2 Transmitter and ADW Amplier is in House Code 1. Changing the House Code is accomplished through the “LINK” button located on the bottom of the ES2 Transmitter and ADW Amplier. Pressing the “LINK” button sequentially steps the House Code with each press:

HINT:

If setting up single transmitter, amplier pair, establish power on link. Then step the house codes on both the transmitter and amplier, re-establishing the link with each press.

If setting up single transmitter to multiple ampliers, step the transmitter to the desired house code. then step each amplier until it has established a link with transmitter.
