C-Bus Multi-Room Audio System
The C-Bus Multi-Room Audio System allows users to listen to and control audio sources from convenient locations around a home. The system is both simple to install and easy to use.
The system has been designed utilising new digital audio distribution technology (developed by Clipsal), in conjunction with Clipsal C-Bus core technology for system communication and integration.
Clipsal’s digital audio distribution technology allows for noise and interference free audio reproduction, whilst the C-Bus technology allows the audio products to be seamlessly integrated and used with all existing C-Bus products. For example, volume can all be controlled from the same C-Bus Switch or Touch Screen which controls lighting.
In addition, the system allows any input audio source to be made available in any audio zone. Changes to the input audio source can easily be made by the user from a local C-Bus device at any time, regardless of where the audio source equipment (e.g., CD Player) is physically located. It is compatible with most audio sources; it accommodates standard stereo line level analogue inputs as well as digital audio TOSlink inputs.
Infrared signals from hand held remote controls can be routed through the system by connecting IR targets and emitters. IR commands can also be stored by the system and activated by programmed C-Bus commands.

The C-Bus Multi-Room Audio System allows a number of different system layout options. This flexibility allows for a wide range of customer needs and installation requirements. Two example schematics are shown opposite.
Option A
This basic option allows a single audio source to be available to a number of C-Bus Audio Amplifiers and to be controlled from convenient locations around the home (via any combination of C-Bus input devices). This option requires one Cat-5 cable for the Audio distribution, with this cable cascaded between each Audio Amplifier.
Option B
This option allows more flexibility. Multiple audio sources are made available to all audio zones, with all the audio sources selectable on a zone-by-zone basis via C-Bus Input Devices. This option requires a separate (star wired) Cat-5 Audio cable to each Audio Amplifier in a zone.
