BrochureMultiroom Simplified
Russound’s A-BUS systems are true multiroom simplicity. Designed for exceptional ease of use, our systems are flexible and modular. From single source systems that allow you to share music throughout your home, to multi-source systems that provide multiple music sources in different locations, Russound offers solutions for any home.
System Expandability
From source components to amplifi ed keypads, an A-BUS system installs using CAT-5 cable and keypads fit into standard low voltage workboxes. Installation, whether in new construction or an existing home, is a snap. The modular design of A-BUS components makes future system expansion painless. Add additional A-BUS hubs or controllers to increase the numbers of system zones.
Simply control
System control couldn’t be simpler. Russound’s A-K3 amplified keypad features an on/off/source selection button, volume up/down buttons, and an IR receiver for control via a remote. It provides robust sound from a keypad no larger than an electrical outlet.
Local performance
To enhance your audio experience, the A-LC3 Local Input Module provides a local source input to an A-BUS zone. Listen to your iPod or enjoy sound from your TV through your A-BUS system speakers. It includes an IR emitter output for remote control of local sources.
User friendly
Russound A-BUS learning and pre-programmed remotes control both system zone volume and source components via IR signal. Just point the remote at an A-BUS keypad, press the button and enjoy.
Combined control
For enhanced control of the A-C68, Russound offers the A-KSC Source Control Keypad. The A-KSC is an 11-button add-on keypad that combines in a with an A-K5L keypad to provide complete source control of your components.
