Installation Manual

Welcome

We hope you enjoy your ABUS system. Your ABUS component has been designed to give
high quality sound and be simple and functional to operate. All ABUS products bearing the
ABUS logo are made to the ABUS Standard, so when you connect an ABUS input device,
Hub or Volume Control Module they are compatible with each other. Some functions on
some manufacturer’s products may not work with other manufacturer’s products; however,
most features will be interoperable. All ABUS components are simple to service or upgrade,
so upgrading your system with components that offer improved features should be easy.
The ABUS Multi-Source Multi-Zone Hub is the core of your ABUS system. It is the input con
nection point for the source components. It also distributes power and sound to each room
Volume Control Module. It also repeats infrared (IR) commands to the source components.
Multiple Hubs may be used to expand the system to more than eight rooms.

ABUS-HUB4X8 Multi-Source Multi-Zone Hub

Audio Input [1] [2] - There are four stereo line-level source inputs [2]. Each input has indi-

vidual level adjustments [1] (left and right).

at 100mA.

Emitter Po

rts [5] [7] - Each source input has its routed emitter port [5], if more than one

component of the same type is used the Remote Control commands will not be confused.
Eg. 2 tuners. There is also a common emitter port [7] to control components that are com
mon to all zones.

Indicators [4] [6] [10] - The green status indicator [4] is on when the system (one zone or
all zones) is in operation. The red emitter indicator [6] flashes when there is an infrared data
command passing through the Hub. The power indicators [10] indicate when the correspond
ing power supply is on.
