ATON DLA4 Manuals

SYSTEM ACCESSORIES RF Remote & Receiver Kits Rack Ear Kit (REKT) For DLA4 & DLA6 INNOVATIVE SPEAKER SELECTION The speaker selector concept has been around for decades as a device that enables you to connect multiple speakers throughout the home to your stereo system, and turn the speakers on or off. A good concept, but it requires you to either walk to the selector each time you want to control the audio or use clunky volume controls at each speaker location. Not anymore! Introducing the ATON™ DLA Speaker Level Audio Router with RF and IR control options - the most exciting advancement in the history of speaker selector products. RF AND IR CONTROL OPTIONS Electronic controls on the front of the DLA provide true ease of use of all system functions. But what puts DLA routers in a class of their own are the additional RF and IR control options (see below). Using the industry's first RF remote for a speaker selector/router, you can adjust audio in each room with volume, mute, all on/off and unique "sound scene"† commands from anywhere inside or outside the home (up to 200 feet away). By utilizing in-room IR receivers or Touchpads, you can control the DLA as well as all connected audio sources. Also, a discrete IR codeset** is available for 3rd party learning remotes that provides room specific and system wide control from one IR receiver or Touchpad location. †A "sound scene" is a programmable preset that allows you to create and recall your favorite volume settings for each room with the press of a button. **Available for download at atonhome.com. ABOUT DLA TECHNOLOGY* (DYNAMIC LEVEL ADJUSTMENT) Unlike typical speaker selectors that use basic impedance correction, the ATON DLA Router utilizes a logic circuit that actively monitors how many rooms are on, along with their respective volume levels, and delivers maximum available power to each room - simultaneously protecting the DLA and the amplifier from damage. Each DLA room output features an electronically controlled potentiometer, built with the highest-grade materials available to ensure super-flat frequency response and high power handling (125 W). THE END RESULT The DLA Router allows you to enhance your environment with rich audio in multiple locations. You can enjoy the freedom of letting the party be vibrant while keeping the kitchen conversational. And with convenient RF control, ATON lets you relax so that you can finally sit back...and listen. *Patent Pending PLUG AND PLAY The DLA easily connects to your home theater/stereo receiver and multiple pairs of wired speakers routed throughout the home. If you already have a basic speaker selector, the DLA quickly replaces your existing selector and allows you to play and control your favorite music like never before.
