The Russound CAA66 Multiroom Controller-Amplifi er dis-tributes six stereo audio sources to six zones. For larger installations, up to six CAA66 controllers can be linked together to accommodate a total of 36 zones.Each zone has its own built-in stereo amplifi er providing 20 watts RMS per channel. The system also provides independent bass, treble, balance, loudness and volume control in each zone.Switchable line outputs on zones 1 and 2 provide either fi xed- or variable-level signals to external amplifi ers or local audio systems. This is useful for powering multiple speaker pairs, extending zones to additional rooms, or providing more power to outdoor zones.For zone and source control, the CAA66 system offers a choice of two zone keypads plus an optional numeric source control keypad. The controller supports multiple keypads in each zone when using the optional SA-ZX3 Keypad Splitter.The CAA66 system controls sources through infrared commands. A built-in library provides IR codes for most current audio and video components. The controller also has IR learning capability. The controller provides both source-specifi c and common IR output ports for device control. It can also link directly to Russound RNET > source components for control from the keypads; however, it does not support data feedback from the sources.The CAA66 system features simplifi ed programming, which resides entirely in the controller. The SRC1 System Remote Control accesses the program settings in the controller and thus needs no separate programming.To enable easy integration with paging systems, home automation systems and other devices, the controller pro- vides a muting trigger input and system trigger output, as well as an RS-232 port with a documented serial protocol. The RS-232 port can also be used to update the system fi rmware.The CAA66 system keypads connect to the controller with CAT-5 or CAT-5e cable. The speakers connect to the built-in amplifi ers with standard speaker cable.Rack ears are included with the CAA66 controller for 2U rack mounting. >
