The Audio Authority Model 1172BK is a Multi-Zone Audio Router designed to integrate seamlessly with the AVAtrix™ HD Cat 5 Matrix Routing System. This device provides essential audio outputs, enabling coordination between a room's audio program and the video program delivered via the AVAtrix system.
Key Features and Modes
The Model 1172BK offers flexibility through two primary operating modes:
- Source Mode: In this mode, the 1172BK provides unswitched audio channels from the AVAtrix system's A/V sources directly to an independent audio distribution system. This allows audio to remain active at each in-room receiver and interface with third-party audio control systems.
- Tracking Mode: This mode routes the audio output from the source currently selected on the AVAtrix in a specific zone to the corresponding 1172BK output. This ensures audio synchronizes with the video source being viewed in each zone, ideal for systems with dedicated amplifiers per room.
Both modes facilitate infrared (IR) communication, allowing control commands from AVAtrix Cat 5 receivers in each room to be sent back to the whole-house audio system.
