INNOVATIVE SPEAKER SELECTION
The speaker selector concept has been around for decades as a device
that enables you to connect multiple speakers throughout the home to
your stereo system, and turn the speakers on or off. A good concept,
but it requires you to either walk to the selector each time you want to
control the audio or use clunky volume controls at each speaker location.
Not anymore! Introducing the ATON™DLA Speaker Level Audio Router
with RF and IR control options - the most exciting advancement in the
history of speaker selector products.
RF AND IR CONTROL OPTIONS
Electronic controls on the front of the DLA provide true ease of use of all
system functions. But what puts DLA routers in a class of their own are
the additional RF and IR control options (see below). Using the industry's
first RF remote for a speaker selector/router, you can adjust audio in
each room with volume, mute, all on/off and unique "sound scene"†
commands from anywhere inside or outside the home (up to 200 feet
away). By utilizing in-room IR receivers or Touchpads, you can control the
DLA as well as all connected audio sources. Also, a discrete IR codeset**
is available for 3rd party learning remotes that provides room specific and
system wide control from one IR receiver or Touchpad location.
†A "sound scene" is a programmable preset that allows you to create and recall your favorite volume
settings for each room with the press of a button. **Available for download at atonhome.com.
ABOUT DLA TECHNOLOGY*
(DYNAMIC LEVEL ADJUSTMENT)
Unlike typical speaker selectors that use basic impedance correction,
the ATON DLA Router utilizes a logic circuit that actively monitors
how many rooms are on, along with their respective volume levels,
and delivers maximum available power to each room - simultaneously
protecting the DLA and the amplifier from damage. Each DLA room
output features an electronically controlled potentiometer, built with
the highest-grade materials available to ensure super-flat frequency
response and high power handling (125 W). THE END RESULT
The DLA Router allows you to enhance your environment with rich
audio in multiple locations. You can enjoy the freedom of letting the
party be vibrant while keeping the kitchen conversational. And with
convenient RF control, ATON lets you relax so that you can finally
sit back...and listen.
*Patent Pending
PLUG AND PLAY
The DLA easily connects to your home theater/stereo receiver and
multiple pairs of wired speakers routed throughout the home. If you
already have a basic speaker selector, the DLA quickly replaces your
existing selector and allows you to play and control your favorite
music like never before.
