The Essentia amplifier accepts up to six audio sources. A source consists of any audio component capable
of supplying a line level signal.
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 source link connection
cable is provided with the Essentia D Expander package.
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.
The fixed lineout is intended for zones where additional amplification and separate volume control are
needed.
Individual stereo speaker outputs for each zone provide 20 watts output per channel.
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.
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.
This output provides a constant 12-volt output when any zone is turned on. This is used to trigger external
devices.
This is designed to mute any audio playing through the system when the phone or doorbell rings.
This RJ-45 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.
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.
The RS232 serial port allows two-way communication for control by a home automation system.
A detachable power cable supplies power to the Essentia System from any AC outlet.
