Proart A5030 Audio Distribution System Matrix Control Unit

Product Description

With Proart, multizone audio throughout your home is made incredibly easy. Anyone in the house can listen to whatever they like anytime! Control any audio source, anywhere in the house! The Proart multizone system provides all the versatility any smart home requires with an amazing 6 stereo channels of audio and 8 input sources. Classical in the study, acoustic guitar in the alfresco area, radio in the lounge and chillout music in the dining area, all at the same time!

Proart’s independent amplifier design allows sources to be shared across multiple zones for general background music while at the same time offering dedicated sources for other areas. So now you can centrally control all of your audio requirements, easily selected and adjusted via remote control from anywhere in the home! Integration is incredibly easy.

Proart offers standard Australian electrical wallplates for easy integration into any home. Each wallplate allows control of source selection and zone volume, either directly or by remote control (1 remote per wallplate). The system can also relay any remote control signal from the wallplate to your AV devices ie: you can control your CD player from any room in the house (up to 50m away from the main unit). There's no need to upgrade or change any of your existing equipment!

In addition, all wallplates connect via standard RJ45 UTP data cabling which is common throughout most modern networked homes. Muting and 3.5mm local audio input are also provided on the A 5036 wallplates. The Proart system brings all of your audio sources together via standard RCA inputs and can switch between any existing audio source at the push of a button. 

The Proart amplifier offers excellent audio characteristics with every amplifier utilising low noise MOSFET design with custom designed heatsinking for greater efficiency & reliability. Each zone produces 40 watts RMS output with a superb frequency response between 10Hz and 40KHz. Bridging two zones results in a massive 120W RMS for high power requirements. Packed with useful features. What's more, the Proart system provides integration to other features of your home. For instance you can use it to activate electric projector screens, air conditioning, motorised shutters, even water features! Three of these switches are provided and can be operated via the remote control. It can even sound a door chime (choice of 3 different tones) throughout your home when your phone or doorbell rings. 

Two A 5030 matrix control units can be linked together allowing from 16 input sources to 12 outputs; to 8 input sources to 12 outputs (depending upon configuration flexibility required in the overall system). 

Cabling Requirements. All input sources are connected via standard RCA leads (dual core shielded). All speakers are connected via standard figure 8 copper cable to heavy duty binding posts. Remote wallplates connect to the matrix source switcher via RJ45 UTP data cable.
