One switch, three applications
Incorporating a custom, integrated audio system into your home can present unique challenges — as unique as your home and your listening preferences. The ABW1AD in-wall A/B switch from Sonance offers a solution to three of those possible challenges. The following are brief synopses of the three principle applications.
Two sources, one zone
Okay, scenario — that is, home audio dream — number one: You want to install a pair of in-ceiling or in-wall stereo speakers in the kitchen and be able to connect two audio sources to those speakers. What's the problem? You don't want to have to go to a different room — i.e. to the receiver in the living room or to the CD player/amp in the bedroom — to switch between those input sources. Enter the ABW1AD from Sonance. This in-wall switch allows you to setup a two-source, single-zone configuration and switch between input sources at the touch of a button.
Once source, two zones
Dream number two: You like three things. You like to cook, you like to entertain, and you like to listen to music. Often, a dinner party begins in the living room, but naturally moves to the dining room, and then eventually back to the living room. You'd like to enjoy the evening's soundtrack in both locales, but you don't want music droning in one room while you and your guests are in another. With the ABW1AD from Sonance, you can setup a single-source, two-zone configuration in which you can easily switch the audio from a pair of stereo speakers in the living room to a stereo pair in the dining room, and back again as the evening progresses.
One source, one zone
Dream number three. As the day ends, you like to wind down by lying on the bed, reading a book, and listening to a little music. The only problem is, more often than not you fall asleep while doing so, and eventually have to muster up the resolve to get up out of bed to walk over to the stereo to turn off the music. By configuring the ABW1AD as a single-source, single-zone switch, you can use this in-wall switch as an On/Off switch for a pair of stereo speakers. With the switch installed right next to the bed, all you have to do is push a button, roll over, and go back to sleep.
