Put Some Boom in Every Room!
It's easy to to add that extra thump in selected 2-channel zones.
Harness the digital signal processing horsepower in the
ADX to
create a lowpass zone output and pair it with a full range output.
The resulting "2.1 zone group" responds to switching and volume
commands in tandem.
How it WorksDesignate any zone output as a lowpass sub out, and group it with a full range zone.
The 2.1 zone group now functions as one zone, responding to group switching
and group volume commands in tandem. Any serial controller can also adjust the
crossover and independently raise and lower the subwoofer channel volume on the fly.
Setup DetailsUse the
ADX PC Utility (shown below) to designate 2.1 zone groups. You can adjust the low-pass filter for sub zones, and the EQ settings for full range zones. In the example below, the zone "Dining Rm Sub" will be grouped with "Dining Rm" so that switching and volume commands can control them together. The installer can either connect the ADX sub output to an amplifier in the rack or to a powered sub in the zone.

Control Options
The ADX can be controlled via IR or serial commands via leading control brands like RTI, Control4 or URC. The controller can be programmed with custom buttons for adjusting overall volume, boosting just the subwoofer volume, and changing the crossover settings on the fly.
