What Is This ADA Bus Thing

Back in 1988, long before the term "System Integration" even existed, the engineers at ADA where developing a control system that would operate like a computer.

While phonographs, 8-track tapes, and reel-to-reels have come and gone, radio is still a favorite among multi-room system owners. And since several members of the family may want to listen to radio at the same time, ADA has the perfect device. The MT-3000 is actually three tuners (tuner modules) in one chassis. Available modules include, FM Stereo, AM Stereo, Cable TV Stereo, and Short Wave. Typical tuner configurations will include two FM modules and one AM module, one FM, AM, and TV module, or three FM modules. Audio quality is second to none as the MT-3000 uses both digital and analogue tuning mechanisms for both speed and accuracy, making the MT-3000 the best sounding broadcast tuner.

Since CDs are the most popular playback medium, for both sound quality and size, chances are you have already collected dozens of titles. One of the best ways to playback these albums is thorugh a multi-CD player. Luckily, there are numerous high-capacity CD changers on the market, several permitting storage of 100 discs or more. Not only do these changers offer an ideal playback format, but they will also preserve the quality of the discs themselves, by limiting the handling of the discs, from jem box to player and then back again. The only problme that comes up is, "How do you keep track of all those CDs?"

ADA Bus systems have an added bonus as they can talk back to touch screens with full system status.
