Feel the Power
With 80 watts of power per
listening zone, Concerto is a truly
powerful home audio distribution
system with optimal impact.
Take Control
The Concerto Display Pad is easily
programmed to perform the
multiple functions of your audio
source equipment. Fast-forward,
rewind, disc or station change,
and much more are easy with the
push of a button. The vacuum
uorescent display clearly shows
each function.
Convenient bass and treble
controls let you set the listening
environment for each room of your
house. Not only that, you also have
control over balance and loudness.
A unique grouping feature allows
you to set multiple Display Pads to
share the same source while still
maintaining individual volume
control. This is a great feature for
large open living spaces such as the
kitchen, basement, and great room.
Special “hotkey” functions let you
set your listening zone for Do Not
Disturb or Master, which allows
you control of the audio selection
and volume for the entire home.
A “parental lock” prevents
inquisitive little hands from
changing your listening selection.
A special DIM feature sets the
Display Pad to dim to a nominal
level when not in use.
