Audio Design Associates' mission, since its
inception in 1977, is the pursuit of excellence in the design, manufacturing,
and installation
of lifestyle electronics. ADA's reputation as the world's leader in whole-house
and home theatre components is based on a foundation of quality and
value.
While most consumer electronics hail from lands far away, ADA proudly
continues its heritage of designing and hand-assembling superior components
right here in the U.S.A.
Cinema Rhapsody Mach II
Part
of ADA’s flagship Cinema Series, the Cinema Rhapsody Mach II
is one of ADA's exemplary home theatre controllers.
It features the “double-default
auto-detection mode,” which ensures that whatever you are watching
or listening to is decoded using the optimum surround sound mode.
The
Cinema Rhapsody is extremely easy to use. Five control knobs permit
you to select a component to watch or record, change modes,
and adjust
channel levels and master volume. The Cinema Rhapsody Mach II is also
designed to integrate with any type touch-screen control system.
Based on the design of ADA's world-class Cinema Reference,
the Cinema Rhapsody features many of the same options found on its bigger
brother...at
half the price.
Suite 7.1
ADA designed the Suite 7.1
as a home theatre controller that delivers the sound quality of its flagship
Cinema Series, but contained in a smaller, more affordable package. Suite
7.1 is a single rack-space surround controller that mates perfectly with
the Suite 16 system.
Suite
7.1 features an impressive array of switching options that are ideal
for smaller theatre environments including master bedrooms, playrooms,
family rooms, and sitting areas. Suite 7.1 is also intended to provide
concert hall surround sound music for rooms without a video display.
These include the formal dining room and living room, kitchen, master
bath, and pool area. Music will sound especially spectacular, enveloping
you and dazzling your guests. You will never want to listen to plain-old
stereo again.
PTM-1260
Amplifiers
that make all the difference.
ADA provides
several multi-channel power amplifiers for Suite 16. The most powerful
of these is the PTM-1260, a twelve channel power
amplifier, which employs high-current
power supplies and output stages, custom aluminum heat-sinks, and low-noise
fan cooling. The combination of these superior elements creates an amplifier
that
sounds noticeably better. The PT-1260 power amplifer is specifically designed
for stringent custom installation applications and can drive as many as four
eight-ohm speakers per channel.
This bridgeable twelve
channel power amplifier enters ADA's multi-channel lineup as one of
the most versatile power amplifiers
available. With over 350 Watts per channel of power when bridged to
six channels, the PTM-1260 sits between ADA's MPA-501 and PTM-6150
in both
price and performance. While the PTM-1260 can power one or two home
theatre systems, it is also ideal as a multi-zone power amplifier.
