MTX Audio Stereo System HUB1X2 User Manual

A-BUS Local Source Input Module (ABUS-LS1RJ): The LIM provides “local”  
input capability for sources such as TV sound, MP3 player, computer sound cards,  
etc. located in the zone. The LIM automatically switches to the local input when a local  
source is detected. 30-seconds after the local source ceases, the LIM automatically  
reverts to the main input source. The LIM is easy to install. Note- Care should be taken  
during pre-wire to run the category 5 cable from the hub to the power module via the  
LIM installation point if this facility is to be made available. This is often a forgotten  
requirement, e.g. In the case of local TV, the category 5 cable should be run past the  
room’s aerial point.  
A-BUS Installation Instructions  
A-BUS COMPATIBILITY:  
by  
This product complies with the A-BUS format. The A-BUS format has been adopted by  
other manufacturers who make variety of products that can give your system added  
flexibility. When looking to expand and/or upgrade your home entertainment system,  
be sure to look for products that carry the A-BUS trademark.

Welcome to A-BUS Multi-Room Audio. When combined with our source equipment  
(receiver, CD player, etc.) and speakers., A-BUS creates a versatile whole-house au-  
dio system that will fill your home with high-quality music for years to come.  
A-BUS SYSTEM OVERVIEW:  
A-BUS Hub (ABUS-HUB1X2, ABUS-HUB1X4): The A-BUS hub is the core of the  
system, distributing audio signal, system power and status indication to A-BUS power  
modules installed in rooms throughout the home and sends IR commands from the  
power modules back to the source components. It is usually located near the main  
sound system (Amplifier/Receiver, CD, DVD, Tape, Cable, etc.). They typically have  
two or more zone outputs with expansions ports (IN/OUT) so multiple hubs can be  
connected to tailor the system to individual requirements.

●Audio input from the main amplifier’s tape output or second zone output.  
●4 Infrared (IR) outputs to remote controllable source components and the main ampli-  
fier (to allow for input selection). Dual emitters may be used.  
●Power supply for system power (supplied). (Should not to be connected to the ampli-  
fiers switched output.)

BUS input selector.

●Local infrared input (xantech™ compatible) to relay IR commands if the main system  
amplifier is concealed (single zone amplifiers only).  
PRODUCT INSTALLATION NOTES:  
●All A-BUS RJ-45 connectors are wires to the 568A standard.  
●The colour code order of punchdown connectors may vary.  
●Standard CAT5 patch leads may be used.  
A-BUS Volume Control Power Modules (ABUS-VC2RJ): A-BUS volume control  
power modules are stereo amplifiers with level control that power a pair of speakers  
in each room. Only one category 5 cable is required between the hub and the power  
module. Speaker cable is run from the power module to the speakers except when the  
A-BUS power module is located on the speaker itself. Standard rotary A-BUS power  
modules do not include infrared repeating. IR-equipped modules relay 38KHz and 56  
KHz codes to the source components for input track/channel selection, etc. They also  
include infrared talkback and status indication. An LED indicator indicates when the  
A-BUS system is on (See Power/Status below) and it flashes signifying an infrared  
command has been received. The volume level on touch-button A-BUS modules can  
also be operated by the ARC-40 remote control handset (supplied with ABUS-VC2RJ).  
The IR repeater system is always active regardless of system status.  
●The infrared system will relay 38kHz and 56 kHz commands.  
IMPORTANT: Substitute power supplies are not recommended.  
Pre-Wiring: All cabling between the A-BUS/READY amplifier/interface module, dis-  
tribution hubs and power modules should be category 5 cable or better. The recom-  
mended maximum cable run is 100 feet (30m). Speaker wire should be run from the  
power module point to the speaker points; however, it is recommended that the cat-  
egory 5 by extended to the speaker points as well to allow for the installation of an A-  
BUS/direct speaker system which has the power module incorporated in the speaker.  
A-BUS power modules will accept up to 14 gauge cable. It is recommended to extend  
the category 5 cable past the power modules to the speaker points for future require-  
ments. It is recommended that all category 5 cables at the hub end be terminated  
with wall mounted RJ-45 sockets with standard (568A) patch leads between the wall  
socket and the hub.  
Before installing the category 5 cables check for Local Input Module requirements.  
Eg. in the case of a local TV, the CAT5 cable should be run past the room’s antenna  
connection point. A 12” taped loop of cable for access is recommended. The same  
could be applied to a point in a child’s room next to a desk where a computer or MP3  
player may be located.  
Audio, IR Data and Status Connections: A-BUS/READY amplifiers are equipped  
with an RJ-45 A-BUS output socket enabling direct connection to either a single A-BUS  
Volume Control power module for one extra zone or to an A-BUS hub for multiple-  
zones. The A-BUS/READY outlet supplies audio, status and infrared data connection.  
Some A-BUS/READY amplifiers can power one power module independently while  
others require a separate power supply. The A-BUS/READY jack may also be con-  
nected to the Expansion Input of an A-BUS hub to enable multiple zones.  
IMPORTANT: When purchasing a new amplifier or home theater receiver look for the  
A-BUS/READY logo on the front. That means a simple RJ-45 connection on the back  
immediately connects you to the whole-house system, as long as the house is wired  
for A-BUS.  
IMPORTANT: These instructions contain directions for installers of A-BUS systems.  
The manufacturer or its agents shall not be liable to any person or entity for loss or  
damage, including consequential loss or damage, arising out of any error or fault in the  
installation of the A-BUS system or any of its components parts.  
Power/Status: There are several ways to activate an A-BUS system. When not in  
operation the A-BUS system is in standby mode. It is activated by:  
●Automatic Signal Sensing (Default): The Hub automatically detects when audio sig-  
nal is present and activates the A-BUS system. 30 seconds after the audio signal ends  
the system returns to standby.  
●Main System Sensing (Preferred): A-BUS also activates automatically when the main  
sound system is switched on (including source components). A 12-volt 100-300 amp  
power pack should be plugged between the main amplifier’s switched power outlet and  
the hub’s Status input.  
●A-BUS/READY: The hub can be directly connected to an A-BUS/READY amplifier  
via the Expansion Input port. The A-BUS system automatically powers up when the  
A-BUS/READY amplifier is switched on. This may be done via remote control from any  
room. Note: The hub power supply is still required.  
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:  
Before installation, review the manuals included with each component in your system.  
If you are unsure of any of the installation procedures, it is recommended that you  
contact your dealer or a professional electronics installer. During installation, do not  
connect power to the hub. Before powering up the system, make sure all volume levels  
are on minimum level. Note- before installing the power modules into the walls be sure  
to adjust the trim pots after all modules have been connected. The power modules  
should be installed into standard UL/CSA approved electrical J-Boxes.
