Product Overview The Russound A-OM A-BUS Output Module provides a fixed-level stereo line output from an A-BUS keypad port on any A-BUS hub or other A-BUS-ready multiroom system. This is useful for sending fixed-level audio signals to an external amplifier or receiver for amplification. The module can be located with the system controller or hub, or remotely with the amplifier or receiver. It connects to the A-BUS port with a single CAT-5 cable and provides RCA jacks for the audio output. The A-OM also provides connections for an infrared receiver so the source equipment can be operated from the zone by an IR remote control. 5 Forbes Road, Newmarket NH 03857 USA Tel 603. 659. 5170 · Fax 603. 659. 5388 www. russound. com Copyright © 2006 Russound. 28-1244 04/27/06 Features · · · · Provides fixed-level stereo line output Works with any standard A-BUS keypad port Includes IR receiver input terminals Compact chassis mounts on any surface Installation Normally the A-OM should be installed near the A-BUS hub or multiroom system controller.

Make sure an A-PS Power Supply is plugged into the power jack on the A-BUS hub or multiroom system controller. Considerations Since the A-OM takes the place of an A-BUS keypad, some means of selecting sources for the zone must be provided when the A-OM is used with a multisource hub or controller. This can be done with either a system keypad or touchscreen connected to the same zone, or an IR receiver connected to the A-OM.
