ELAN HOME SYSTEMS
Multi-Room Applications
The D1650 is specifically designed for multi-room
applications. Virtually every feature was selected to
enhance the multi-room experience and simplify the
multi-room installation:
Class T Topography allows all sixteen channels
to coexist in the same chassis without overheat
ing.
Buffered Loop Outputs allow sharing of
sources.
Stereo and Mono Bus Modes make configura
tion a logical process.
Sixteen Independent Channels provide audio
to a house full of speakers.
Triggers allow for automated functions on a
zone-by-zone or system-wide basis.
Independent Stereo Zones
The D1650 is set up to easily power eight independ-
ent stereo zones right out of the box. This is the
standard configuration for most multi-zone audio
distribution systems. In the drawing below, each
pair of speakers will have independent volume con-
trol.
