Essential Info

Listen to audio from two different input sources from any four zones of your home. The Elevate 2-Source 4-Zone Distributed Audio System is an easy-to-use whole-house audio system that lets you listen to soft jazz with your guests in the living room and dining area while your kids rock out upstairs, and you won't have the wasted expense of multiple stereos. Control two independent sources using wall-mounted keypads or your existing remote controls. This kit includes everything you'll need to get started, including the main power source and four keypads.

    Control Audio Components With Keypads or Remote
    Control the two connected audio components with your existing A/V remote. Each keypad has a built-in IR receiver, so in addition to using the keys, you can simply aim your remote from across the room. IR signals are delivered to your A/V components through the two included IR emitters. Each keypad features volume control, source selection buttons, and a power button, which can also be used to power down all zones at once. The included IR remote can be used to teach keypad functions to any learning remote.

    Wiring and Connections
    Two- or four-conductor audio cable sends the audio signal to each pair of speakers in the four listening zones. Speaker wire, cat. 5 wiring, and audio components all connect to the Breathe Audio Allport™ connection plate.

    Adding Speakers
    When setting up your Breathe Audio whole-house audio system, you'll want to be sure you're connected to the proper speakers for each zone. By installing a pair of in-wall or in-ceiling speakers, you'll be assured of quality sound that won't interfere with your décor. Installing in a small room? Connect a Dual Voice Coil Speaker in your ceiling. This convenient, unobtrusive device has a pair of tweeters built right in, so it creates the illusion of full stereo sound without requiring any extra space. Outdoor speakers are also available. These weatherproof rock speakers, available in granite and sandstone, are ideal if you'll be using a patio as one of your zones.

    Power Information
    Each zone receives 30 watts of power for high-fidelity audio amplification. For large rooms or patio use, add a 200-watt amplifier (sold separately).

    Creating a Customized Whole-House Audio System
    The Breathe Audio power unit and install kit can also be purchased separately for homes only requiring two zones. You can also add keypads to expand to additional zones as necessary.

    This product cannot be sold to Canadian addresses.

    SV -- berkshire, XX   9/1/2010
    Almost a disaster - product advertised as dual voltage -it is not! First delivery had instructions only in French, some of the components were mislabeled, and finally - it did not work. I had to return it from England at my (huge) expense, and it then took more than three weeks to get a replacement organised, with very poor communications between Smarthome and DHL. I have had to pay the electrician twice over, and incur all the extra charges including endless telephone calls and emails. It appears that the product does what it is supposed to, and from that point of view it is good value,but the distributors have let me down big time with their poor support for the product, and their sloppy administration. I hope they will take note of my comments before they try and export this product to any other unsuspecting customers.

    Do to the fact that we are in the midst of building our house we have not had a chance to use the product. We had this product recommended to us and we are sure it will be exactly what we were hoping it would be.
