Owner’s Manual
Overview
URC’s HDA-1600 Low Z/70V multi-zone amplier delivers incredible performance,
reliability, and powerful amplication to the entire home or small business This device
is rated at 600W per channel into 8Ω
The HDA-1600-70V amplier is designed with ICEpower technology to provide a
robust, cool running distributed audio system
Using URC’s HDA ampliers in conjunction with URC architectural in-ceiling
speakers delivers an incredible high-delity audio experience throughout the
home or business
HDA products are NOT compatible with URC’s legacy Total Control ampliers (DMS)
Features & Benefits
• Flexible Multi-Zone Amplifier: Supports a single stereo zone or two (2)
independent mono zones
• HDA Audio treams: This device supports up to four (4) audio sources that are
converted into a digital “high resolution” audio stream over the network
• Two (2) Microphone Inputs with Phantom Power Supplied with a
Phoenix XLR adapter for microphone connections, these inputs create an audio
stream that can be distributed across all supported zones or used in Ducking/
Paging Events
• ource haring: Any zone controlled via an HDA amplier or I/O device has
access to the system’s HDA Audio Streams
• Flexible Zone Linking: Link one or more zones on the y via Total Control’s
Rooms Menu or have your programmer congure a “Party Mode” button
Room Linking is an easy way to distribute audio across the system
• Integrated Audio ensor: Each available input on the HDA-1600-70V has
built-in audio sensing capabilities These sensors can be used to trigger
programmed events or activities
• Zone Input Ducking: The HDA-1600-70V has the ability to “fade in” an audio
input over the currently selected audio input
The perfect solution to briey lower the volume on the current source to make
an audio announcement or doorbell chime
• Rack-countable with included rack ears
