DH46X 4 Source, 6 Zone Digital Audio Expansion Router
1. Introduction
Modern Convenience
The DH46X 4 Source, 6 Zone Digital Audio Expansion Router, when used with the DH44 Digital
Audio Router, provides the ability to listen to 4 different audio sources in up to 28 separate
areas of the home for total fl exibility and convenience. No need to have multiple audio systems
in different ares, just select a source from one of ATON’s revolutionary Touch Pads, sit back and
enjoy!
Elegant Control Options
Select a custom faceplate option for each touchpad to blend into the décor of every room to
fi t the way you live. ATON’s DHTP1 Amplifi ed Touch Pads (sold separately) provide full system
control - source selection, volume, tone, mute, etc. - with no unsightly buttons. Use the included
learning Remote Control to fully control each source connected to the DH46X.
Crystal Clear Digital Sound
End-to-end digital architecture means that the entire signal path of the audio system remains
in the digital domain from start to fi nish. This means that noise, signal loss and other unwanted
effects are never present. Each touchpad contains a 30 Watt per channel digital amplifi er that
allows the user to play music at loud volume when desired. This also means that music at any
volume is full and rich, without distortion and with plenty of bass!
Simple, Logical Installalation
The DH44 and DH46X connect with CAT-5 and speaker wire, making them reliable and easy to
install. Any digital or analog audio source can be connected directly to the DH44 Digital Audio
Router, or remotely using a DHSIP Local Source Wall Plate. Touch Pads and Wall Plates are
connected to the DH46X using CAT-5 wiring (inexpensive and reliable), while speakers are con-
nected to DHTP1 Amplifi ed Touch Pads using traditional speaker wire.
Entertaining Possibilities
Whole House Music and Zone Grouping features make entertaining more fun than ever. Fully
customized audio options allow for control of the entire house from one location and also allow
for the creation of multiple zone linking, where groups of zones work together..
Control for Parents
The Source Lock Out feature allows you to disable specifi c sources in the kid’s rooms that you
don’t want them to access.
