MULTI-ROOM AUDIO SYSTEM
The core of the FEDE multi-room sound system is a central unit
that is generally installed in the living room. It manages the
data transmission between the different system components,
and allows the connection of different audio sources such as
CD player, home cinema, PC Soundblaster, MP3 player, etc.
Besides the central unit, one easy-to-fit flush-mount control
module must be installed in each room. Just one run of stan-
dard 2x1sq. mm + 6x0,25 sq. mm cable distributes Hi-Fi
audio, intercom and power to each room. Junction boxes
correctly placed will provide the different derivations from
the main line to the in-wall keypads.
A simple standard speaker cable (right channel and left
channel) is enought to connect the wall control modules with
the in-ceiling or wall-mount speakers.
By using a 25W central unit the system is allowed to power
up to a maximum of ten stereo control keypads. If a 60W
central unit is used instead up to twenty stereo control mo-
dules can be installed without any extra power supply.
Additional control modules of in-wall control modules to the
multi-room sound system must follow the rule of one extra US
50
power supply unit for each twenty keypads.
Every control module is able to drive two FEDE speakers. If
active speakers are used up to six speakers can be connec-
ted to each control keypad. The number of active speakers in
the system must be considered when calculating the system
power consumption in order to know if extra power supply
units or a more powerful central unit must be installed.
The connection of domotic interfaces to the system main line
will allow FEDE control modules to perform electronic door-
phone and telephone functions.
It is highly recommended to pre-install a separated trunking
for the multi-room audio system, independent from the con-
duits used for general power, lighting, etc. This will ensure
that no alterations affect the audio quality.
