Multi-Room Music Systems

What makes an Audio Design Associates system unique? It could be the superior quality of sound its components produce. Perhaps it is the ease of operating an often complex system. Some appreciate the custom plate finish options that turn electronic components into contemporary works of art. Others single out how simply other products and systems integrate with ADA - the future-proof factors imbedded into our component designs.

Handcrafted with pride in the United States of America

All agree. One of the most important factors when deciding upon ADA electronics is the product’s inherent durability – the fact that it is bulletproof. Over the last twenty-six years, ADA has continuously devoted itself to making reliable products that can be easily upgraded in the future.

Suite 16

16 Audio & Video Inputs16 Zones up to 96 ZonesAdvanced ControlExpandable Design

Suite 16 can be incorporated into TreeRidge projects that are typically either new construction or home remodeling. Since it can be controlled by most any keypad or touch-screen, Suite 16 is an ideal system for those who wish to upgrade or replace their existing multi-room system.

Suite 16 is the most advanced multi-room stereo system available and can be controlled by ADA keypads, touch-screen systems, or PCs. Suite 16 combines exceptional acoustical control along with extensive paging features.

Beyond ADA’s unique modular design features, Suite 16 is an amazing sounding whole-house system. In addition to volume, you can also adjust bass, treble, and balance, as well as stereo enhancement and loudness contour control. Settings permit down-mixing to mono for hallways and galleries. Rooms turn on to an acoustical preset and each room also features a maximum volume level. Suite 16 even includes Party functions that make it easy to entertain.

Suite 8

8 Stereo Audio Inputs8 Independent Stereo Zone OutputsPaging Audio/Trigger Inputs

Suite 8x8 was specifically designed to permit those ready to settle on a multi-room receiver to upgrade to an ADA quality audio distribution system. Using the same family of keypads and accessories as Suite 16, Suite 8x8 will provide a lifetime of entertainment pleasure.

Suite 8x8 is ideal for those who require distributed audio to only eight zones or areas. Suite 8x8 integrates with ADA keypads as well as touch-screen control systems. And just like Suite 16, you can add a Tune Suite FM/AM/WX & XM Radio Tuner, and other accessories for an advanced multi-room system that is extremely affordable.

Tune Suite Tuner

Unprecedented innovation and versatility – the Tune Suite is the only computer controlled modular tuner that can be configured with any combination of FM, AM, WX (weatherband), and XM.
Designed mainly for multi-room installations, you can listen to four different radio stations simultaneously in different rooms of your house. You can even cascade up to seven Tune Suite mainframes together for any combination of up to twenty-seven different AM, FM, WX, or XM channels at once. ADA keypads integrate with Tune Suite, enabling an intuitive and interactive control experience and the ability to surf XM categories with text feedback of the artist and song playing. Imagine the possibilities!

Keypads and Touch Screens

Dual-Gang TS 5000 Color Touch Screen

The TS-5000 Touch Screen is a rather unique device in a sea of touch screens. It packs a wonderfully brilliant 4-inch color TFT display in most any size standard two-gang electrical box and the entire touch screen is completely self-contained. There is no need for a central touch screen controller device as with so many other systems because the TS-5000 has the hardware that stores both graphics and code.

The TS-5000 features an all-metal screwless face plate that when removed reveals a mini-USB connector. This makes it possible to customize the TS-5000 without removing it from the wall. The front panel also features a built-in IR receiver (which can IR repeat).

The TS-5000 is also unique as it runs on a single Cat-5 cable. This wire not only provides power to the TS-5000 but also transmits control codes and provides five-lines of data feedback from ADA source components like satellite and HD radio tuners, CD library information or iPod information making it easy to select and surf your entertainment options from any room in the home.

The TS-5000 can also be used with the VSWH-8 Video Switching Wire Harness that sends live motion video across the same single Cat-5 cable at 16 frames per second, ideal for queuing up movies or viewing closed circuit TV cameras. There are even switching triggers on the VSWH-8 that can for example force the TS-5000s to display a camera overlooking the front door whenever the doorbell is pressed. The TS-5000 can also be used to control Lutron or Litetouch lighting systems using a special version of the MSC-3.

• Ultra compact touch screen with live video capable display
• Fits into standard 2-gang electrical box
• RJ-45 CAT-5 wiring
• Extremely bright 3.9" TFT Display
• Pre-programmed for all ADA components
• Displays multi-line text from iBase, iHome and ADA Tuners

• Infrared receiver for IR remote control and IR repeating
• Can be used in conjunction with other ADA keypads

Rapture MC-5500 Keypad

Simplicity is the key when it comes to ADA Rapture Series controls. All the buttons you need to control the system are right in front of you. One button operation permits you to select the component you want to listen to by simply pressing the corresponding source button on the keypad. An alphanumeric display indicates system status, volume and tone levels, tuner information as well as genre, artist, and song names. There are no complicated menus and submenus, as ADA purposely designed these controls to be intuitive. The rest is magic.

The all-new MC-5500 is ADA’s most luxurious Gen-II Rapture Series Keypad and features ADA patented tri-color LED backlight. Buttons and the keypad faceplate can be customized to your color choices.

Beyond being beautiful to look at, the MC-5500 features advanced controls such as two alarm clocks and even a sleep timer, turning your ADA system into a multi-source alarm clock. The MC-5500 also features a keypad lock so that guests won’t inadvertently alter your music selection when entertaining. The “mode” button accesses tone controls, room-scan, and our exclusive party-control function that turns on several rooms from a single location. The display provides real-time feedback from Trinity Tuners & Escient TuneBase. The control of the future is here.
