Advanced Multi-Room

System Design By ADA

Audio Design Associates manufactures three multi-room systems that operate on ADA's proprietary bi-directional serial-data communications language, the ADA Bus. This computer driven two-way system architecture, permits the keypads to display actual system status in plain English. It also allows other computer oriented systems to interface fully with the ADA system for both control and feedback.

ADA Bus Systems operate with the MC-3000, MC-3800, and MC-3000 OD controls. These keypads have more functions and a built-in IR receiver. These keypads also incorporate a twelve character alpha-numeric LED display which reads the system's status. This would include the name if the component in use as well as all control functions including: volume, bass, and treble levels, component commands, room off, system off, and the time. The keypads will even display tuner stations when using ADA's MT-3000 Multi-Tuner.

An ADA Bus System can also be integrated with an AMX or Crestron touch panel. Furthermore, you can also add a computerized CD library management system by Escient Systems or Gefen Systems, such that the keypads will display the play mode, album name, artist name, and song title while also controlling the computer's on-screen cursor.
