About
Audio Design Associates (ADA)
Audio Design Associates, Inc., has been designing and
manufacturing home entertainment systems for over 20 years. In that time,
ADA has built a rich history and is among the oldest of modern conusmer
electronics providers. Considered the "Pioneers of Custom Installation",
ADA's heritage is carved out of the pages of an American success story.
To permit you the freedom to look into our past, present, and future, please
select from one of the following options.
From 1977 to 1982, ADA established the foundation for
its multi-room system architecture. Titled "Radio Days", this
section deals with a time in which the most frequently used multi-room audio
component was the FM radio tuner. In fact, one of ADA's first system components,
the FM-600, was an FM radio tuner with a digital readout, which could scan
presets from any room's keypad. Tuner presets, while a common tuner feature
today, was far from an option way back when. Since ADA Systems circa 1977
could permit you change radio stations, it was up to ADA to provide a tuner
which would operate in that manner. "Innovation"...that's ADA.
While today's favorite multi-room audio component is the compact
disc player (CD), back in the early days, you would typically find a phonograph,
8-track tape player, reel-to-reel, or cassette player in the system. The
beauty behind ADA's System architecture, even for ADA's first systems, lies
in its ability to have the latest technologies added to it at any time.
That is why today, many early ADA Systems already include CD players, DSS
receivers, and many other current technologies. "Obsolecense-Free"...that's
ADA.
The late 80's brought more than just music into the home as
a form of playback entertainment. Video, by way of the VCR (Video Cassesste
Recorder) made it possible to play motion pictures, without commercial interuption,
at any time. While the VCR and its home video partner, the laser disc player
(LDV), have brought Hollywood home, this era, also saw the emergence of
movie-theater like sound for the home. For ADA, the late 80's and early
90's represented a time in which its multi-room products included video
distribution. Also, this time period saw ADA emerging as a key developer
of home theater products as well as creators of system integration software.
"Technology Pioneers"...that's ADA.
The past five years have been the most dramatic for ADA. While it has always
enjoyed the status as the world's leader in custom installed multi-room
systems, this time period saw ADA emerge as one of the leading hardware
developers of digital home theater products. Currently, ADA has set industry
standards for its incorporation of Lucasfilm Home THX decoding and amplification,
Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoding, as well as DTS decoding.
Over the past five years, home theater has evolved into the staple of what
was once home audio and ADA has led the field. "The 'T' in Technology
stands for Time"...that's ADA.
While others attempt to predict what the future will bear, ADA has the vantage
point of creating the future. ADA has introduced all-in-one solutions at
more affordable prices without compromising ADA known quality and longevity.
What can you expect to see from ADA as we enter the next Millennium...better
products at more competitive prices. Many of our "2000 Goals"
are already in place including the Genesis and Millennium multi-room systems.
And since one of ADA's mission statements is the "seamless integration
of all technologies", ADA is best poised to make certain your investment
can be shaped to your ever-changing life-style. "System Architecture"...that's
ADA.
