DH44 4 Source, 4 Zone Digital Audio Router
1. Introduction
Modern Convenience
The DH44 4 Source, 4 Zone Digital Audio Router with DIGI-5 Technology and related products
from ATON provides the ability to listen to 4 different audio sources in up to 28 separate zones
of the home, all over Cat-5 wiring 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 Touch Pad to blend into the décor of every room to
fi t the way you live. ATON’s DHTP1 Amplifi ed Touch Pads (sold seperately) provide full system
control - source selection, volume, tone, mute, etc. - with no unsightly buttons. Use the included
slimline remote to control the DH44 from across the room.
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 Touch Pad contains a 30 Watt per channel digital amplifi er that
allows the user to play music at loud volumes when desired. This also means that music at any
volume is full and rich, without distortion and with plenty of bass!
Simple, Logical Installation
A DH44-based system connects using 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. DHTP1 Amplifi ed Touch Pads are connected to the DH44 using CAT-5 wiring (inexpen-
sive and reliable), while speakers are connected to the Touch Pads using traditional speaker
wire.
Entertaining Possibilities
The DH44’s Whole House Music and 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.
About DIGI-5 Technology
DIGI-5 is a revolutionary new technology standard that provides a complete end-to-end digital
audio solution over Cat-5 wiring. DIGI-5 is based on advanced digital distribution and amplifi ca-
tion circuits that allow multi-room audio systems to be installed quickly and cost effectively.
DIGI-5 is a collaboratively developed technology that is licensed by the Linear Home Technology
Group and is being initially integrated on a Linear group-wide basis, targeted to expand market
and consumer acceptance of such systems.
