  • Page 3: Getting Started

    • Update AVAtrix firmware to v1.4 or greater. General Information The Model 1173BK Multi-Zone Audio Router with Volume Control is a companion product to the AVAtrix™ HD Cat 5 Routing System. It provides six analog or digital audio source outputs to a distributed audio system to enable coordination of a room’s audio program with the video program being received on a Cat 5 zone receiver.
  • Page 4 2. Connect the #1 Cat 5 output of the AVAtrix to the Cat 5 receiver in Zone 1. 3. Connect the #1 analog output of the Model 1173BK to the Zone 1 audio inputs of the amplifier or audio system (see diagrams on pages 5 and 6).
  • Page 5 A/V receivers (see page 10) or a multi-zone amp, as shown below. The 1173BK audio output #1 tracks with the AVAtrix Cat 5 output #1 so that the audio always matches the video at the zone. Address each 1173BK to match the AVAtrix outputs (see page 4).
  • Page 6 3 IR signals are routed to each AVR to control volume. The 1173BK audio output #1 tracks with the AVAtrix Cat 5 output #1 so that the audio always matches the video at the zone. Address each 1173BK to match the AVAtrix outputs (see page 4).
  • Page 7 Digital output may be either 5.1 surround sound (e.g. zone 1 below), or two channel PCM (e.g. zone 3). IR signals from each zone are routed to that zone’s AVR to control volume. The 1173BK audio output #1 tracks with the AVAtrix Cat 5 output #1 so that the audio always matches the video at the zone.
  • Page 8 Using RF Control Systems If desired, use the RS-232 connection for source switching and volume control, utilizing the 1173BK ExpressRamp volume control (see page 10). The RF base station should generally be located near the AVAtrix. It may be to advantage to use Model 1111 to inject IR commands from the RF base station zone outputs into the Cat 5 pathways to simplify program- ming.
  • Page 9 Source mode is used with a whole-house audio system that includes its own switching and volume control. The 1173BK audio output #1 always provides the audio from Source 1. 1173BK volume control is not generally used with this type of system.
  • Page 10 Allow, A/V Router x, Zone n’s source to all zones. [V,Rx,On,vvv] (Rx,On,V,vvv) Set volume level of zone n of 1173BK in tracking mode to volume vvv (ExpressRamp*) [V,Im,vvv] (Im,V,vvv) Set volume level of source m (valid when 1173BK is in source mode)
