The New Hi-Fi 2 - Home Automated Audio Source Control System

Hi-Fi 2, available through ELTEK Distribution, is the ideal solution for an easy control of audio systems in a home.
The compact, but robust Hi-Fi 2 plays music from the connected audio devices and is very easy to operate.

The system allows audio content broadcast from several sources simultaneously, so that different content at different volume levels can be played in different rooms of the house. The system also provides the possibility to set a single source and volume for all zones of the house.

Hi-Fi may be a stand-alone installation or may be integrated with another home control system, in order to provide enhanced features, including the control from an iPhone or iPad. The system can thus be programmed to execute various scenarios, offering the possibility to select the source and set the volume for each zone, in certain moments of the day, in order to coordinate the audio system with the user's activities.

The system includes the following devices:

	Hi-Fi 2 Main Unit Supports up to 8 sources and 8 zones, all amplified Possibility to expand to 16 zones Wireless technology employed Allows seamless installation, in a closet or basement Amplification up to 25 W RMS at 8 Ω (50 W per zone) Zones 1 and 8 allow additional line out amplification outputs Built-in universal power supply
	Volume-Source Control (VSC) Unit Displays source name, volume bar chart, bass treble, and balance Acts like an infrared transmitter for controlling the source Plays music from the same source It features 4 hard buttons for controlling the volume, source and power Colour change kits for the enclosure are available in almond, light almond, black and ivory
	Remote Input Module (RIM) Allows the remote connection of audio sources with the Hi-Fi 2 amplifier Option to install up to 8 RIMs with a Hi-Fi 2 amplifier It may be installed in any part of the house in order to pick up music from various units in the house (personal computer, CD player, TV, iPod, or any device with an audio output) Option to use several modules in the same room A sound source connected with a module can be played in any room in which a volume-source control system unit exists The package includes 2 1.3m retractable cables: - 1 x Jack 3.5 mm at 2 x RCA - 1 x Jack 3.5 mm at 1 x Jack 3.5 mm
	Remote control unit Allows changing of sources and volume in a room

In order to connect the digital amplifier with the input sources and with the volume-source control units, standard Cat-5 cables are employed. The use of 6-ohm and 8-ohm speakers is recommended.
