OPUS breaks new ground in the multi-room entertainment
market, with the revolutionary AMR650 A-BUS Active Speaker System.
Consisting of a matched pair of high-quality ceiling
speakers which are optimised for custom installation and in-ceiling
applications, the AMR650 features a wide-angle infra red eye mounted on the
'active' speaker which has all the amplifier electronics actually mounted on
its back.
This allows full access to volume, tone settings, and
source selection controls by using the system or learning remote control.
This eliminates the need for a wall control keypad and
therefore makes an OCTOPUS Multi-Room Entertainment System even easier to
install, particularly in a 'retro-fit' situation.
When settings are being adjusted, small confirmation
beeps are issued so the user knows that adjustments are being made.
The active speaker contains a built-in stereo power
amplifier which drives both itself and its passive twin.
A pre-amp output is even included for connection to an
active sub-woofer or separately powered pair of speakers if desired.
The AMR650 A-BUST active speaker is connected to the
OCTOPUS Master Control Unit using Cat5e UTP or CAT6 cable, providing source
signals, IR pass-through, switching commands and power for the amplifier.
The passive speaker is connected to its active twin
via either loudspeaker cable or another Cat5e UTP or CAT6.
