IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Danger
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent
hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably to noise induced hearing
loss but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently
intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government's
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified
the following permissible noise level exposures:
DURATION PER DAY (HOURS) 8 6 4 3 2 1
SOUND LEVEL (dB) 90 93 95 97 100 103
According to OSHA, any exposure in the above permissible limits could
result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canal or over
the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to
prevent a permanent hearing loss. If exposure in excess of the limits as
put forth above, to insure against potentially harmful exposure to high
sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to
equipment capable of inducing high sound pressure levels, such as this
amplification system, be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in
operation.

Danger
L‘exposition a des niveaux eleves de bruit peut provoquer une perte
permanente de l’audition, Chaque organisme humain reagit
differemment quant a la perte de l’audition, mais quasiment tout le
monde subit une diminution de I’acuite auditive lors d’une exposition
suffisamment longue au bruit intense. Les autorites competentes en
reglementation de bruit ont defini les expositions tolerees aux niveaux
de bruits:
DURE EN HEURES PAR JOUR 8 6 4 3 2 1
INIVEAU SONORE CONTINU EN dB 90 93 95 97 100 103
Selon les autorites, toute exposition dans les limites citees ci-dessus,
peuvent provoquer certaines pertes d’audition. Des bouchons ou
protections dans l’appareil auditif ou sur l’oreille doivent etre portes lors
de l’utilisation de ce systeme d’amplification afin de prevenir le risque
de perte permanente de l’audition, Dans le cas d’expositions
superieures aux limites precitees il est recommande, afin de se

1. POWER Button: The amplifier is designed to be turned on and remain on. The power button supplies power to the system. Each
zone can then be turned on or off independently. The amplifier should be turned on before any external
connections are made. This activates internal protective circuitry.
2. STAND BY LED: When lit, this blue LED (light-emitting diode) indicates that the amplifier is plugged into an AC power outlet
source.
3. Zone Status LED's: These LED's indicate the power status of each zone. When a zone LED is lit, it indicates that the zone is
currently turned on.

2. Power The power button turns that keypad's zone on and off independently of the other zones. Pressing and holding
the power button turns all zones off simultaneously.
3. Volume Independent audio volume level for each zone is controlled with these buttons.
4. IR Receiver Each keypad has an IR (infrared) receiver located under the volume button for wireless control of the audio
source equipment.
5. Mute The mute button temporarily silences any audio playing in that keypad's zone.
6. Source Selection The source buttons independently select any of the six sources connected to the Essentia amplifier.

Essentia Back Panel
1. Audio Source Inputs: The Essentia amplifier accepts up to six audio sources. A source consists of any audio component capable
of supplying a line level signal.
2. Source Link: This multi-pin connection is used to transfer the audio information from the Essentia main amplifier to the
expander amplifier. This output is used to expand the system to twelve zones. The Audio Link connection
cable is provided with the Essentia D Expander package.
3. Variable Lineout: The variable lineout is intended for zones where additional amplification is needed and the Essentia keypad
is used to control the volume of all the speakers in that zone.
4. Fixed Lineout: The fixed lineout is intended for zones where additional amplification and separate volume control are
needed.
5. Speaker Outputs: Individual stereo speaker outputs for each zone provide 20 watts output per channel.
6. Zone Triggers: These outputs provide a 12-volt output when the corresponding zone is turned on. This is used to trigger
external equipment specific to a given zone.
7. Emitter Outputs: These outputs transfer IR (infrared) signals, repeated from a zone keypad, from the Essentia amplifier to
the audio source equipment. There are six source specific outputs and two “sum” output that sends IR
signals regardless of the selected source.
8. System On: This output provides a constant 12-volt output when any zone is turned on. This is used to trigger external
devices.
9. External Mute: This is designed to mute any audio playing through the system when the phone or doorbell rings.
10. Network Input: This RJ45 connection is the input for all zone information coming from the Essentia keypads. The
connection is made using the Network Cable supplied with the package.
11. Digital Link: This multi-pin connection transfers all the digital information from the main amplifier to the expander
amplifier. This output is used to expand the system from six to twelve zones. The Digital Link connection
cable is provided with the Essentia D Expander package.
12. RS232 Port: The RS232 serial port allows two-way communication for control by a home automation system.
13. AC Power: A detachable power cable supplies power to the Essentia System from any AC outlet.
