Introduction The Encore! Multi‑Room Audio Distribution System is an expandable system that distributes four analog or digital audio sources over Cat-5 cable to four independent speaker zones. Each speaker zone features a backlit keypad with an integrated digital amplifier that selects the audio source and controls the volume, tone, balance, loudness, and all other functions of the system. The system can be expanded with up to eight distribution hubs for a total of 32 speaker zones.
System Components ENC-HUB System Hub ENC-DRSFA-SL-4 Screwless Faceplate Kit (4-pack) (Almond) • Pure digital audio delivers crystal clear sound to all zones with no signal loss • Four speaker zones • Expandable to 32 speaker zones • Cat-5 wiring • Mounts in structured wiring enclosure or on H275 bracket • Four high power terminals for long keypad runs • Four almond keypad bezels • Four almond screwless faceplates • Changes keypad color or replaces damaged or worn faceplate • For ENC-DRS keypad
Hub and Power Supply Setup The hub and power supply can mount on the grid in a Linear structured wiring enclosure or to a universal mounting bracket (Model H275). The bracket is included in the Model ENC-KIT-M installation kit. MOUNTING GRID Structured Wiring Enclosure If the hub and power supply will be mounted in a structured wiring enclosure, follow these steps: 1. Determine a location for the structured wiring enclosure.
Expansion Hub Setup Additional hubs and power supplies can be added to the system to increase the number of speaker zones available. Up to seven additional hubs can be connected for a maximum of 32 speaker zones. Expansion hubs share the same four source inputs as the first hub and each control their own four speaker zones. Expansion Hub Installation Expansion hubs can be mounted near the first hub, or mounted in a remote location near the speaker zones to be controlled.
Source Input Wall Plate Setup The system supports up to four audio input sources. Each audio source component connects to a source input wall plate (Model ENC-SIWP). The source input wall plates can connect to analog stereo audio, coaxial digital audio, or optical digital audio provided by the source component. The audio input type is selected by the input selector switch on the face of the wall plate.
Keypad Setup The keypads (Model ENC-DRS) are wired to the hub with Cat‑5 cable. Each keypad contains a Class-D digital amplifier and connects to a pair of stereo speakers. Power for the keypad is normally supplied from the hub through the Cat-5 cable. As an option to support longer cable runs and to prevent voltage drop, the hub provides four HI POWER output terminals.
Local Input Wall Plate Setup Each keypad supports an optional connection to a local input wall plate (Model ENC-LIWP). The local input plate provides a connection point for a local audio source in the same room as the speaker zone, such as an iPod, MP3 player, or a game box. Audio In The local input wall plate connects directly to the keypad with Cat‑5 cable and mounts in a single-gang J-box.
Final Connections and Testing After the installation is complete, the audio source components will need to be connected. After connecting the sources, the system will be ready to power‑up. Audio Source Component Connections Audio sources can be connected to the source input wall plates with stereo coax cables, a digital coax cable, or an SPDIF optical digital cable. 1. Connect the audio output (analog or digital) of each audio source component to each of the source input wall plates. 2.
