Its integrated multichannel power amplifier delivers a robust 45 watts per channel to all rooms. Without requiring any programming, the AES can easily be expanded to support a total of 12 rooms by adding an AAE Audio Expander. Or, as many as 24 rooms can be handled using three AAEs with simple setup provided by Crestron Adagio Composer software. High-End Performance An advanced Class G amplifier topology produces the great sound of a classic Class AB design with near-digital efficiency. A massive MOH-core toroidal power transformer directs pure, continuous power to each channel, achieving exceptional dynamic range and low distortion sound quality in every room. Gentle power-up is achieved through a "soft-start" inrush current limiting circuit, and quick-response output protection on each channel prevents failure caused by speaker line faults and overheating. Enhanced Front Panel Control With its large backlit LCD display, room and group select buttons, four softkeys and dual rotary encoders, the AES front panel provides a very powerful, yet friendly user interface for controlling audio to a houseful of speakers. Custom naming of rooms, groups, and sources is facilitated on the LCD display, and also on the c ...
