Multi-room connections

The 650R features Incognito ReadyTM / A-BUSTMReady outputs, allowing multi-room capability. One or two amplified keypads can be plugged into the 650R (using Cat5/5e cable and RJ45 plugs) to provide multi-room audio in one or two secondary rooms or zones. The keypads are powered by an external PSU (also required) through the Cat5/5e cables and no mains connection is required in the secondary rooms.

The 650R is Incognito Ready Type II, which means the keypads can operate independently of the amplifier in terms of volume/bass/treble etc, be independently turned on and off from the 650R and each other, and can also listen to a different source from that which is currently selected on the amplifier. However, both keypads can only listen to the same source.

The 650R also features 2nd/3rd zone Composite video outputs which optionally allow the extra zones to have video capability. The 650R can use either Composite video, S-Video or component inputs as sources to supply the sub-zones, as it is able to transcode then to composite but not from HDMI sources. For HDMI sources, simply make an extra parallel analogue video connection to that sources input as well.

A-BUS is a standard that allows compatibility between different manufacturers equipment, so A-BUS compatible keypads from other manufacturers can also be used. If used with our own Incognito KP10 keypads, there are some extra features such as the ability to change source on the 650R from the keypad.

Connections to the 650R’s Incognito ReadyTM / A-BUSTMReady outputs are made by Cat-5 cable (terminated with an RJ45 jack plug). The RJ45 plug must be wired to the EIA/TIA 568A wiring standard:

To allow control of your source equipment from the remote rooms an IR emitter (IR10) is plugged into one of the IR outputs on the rear of the unit and then attached over the IR window of the source unit. Alternatively, on our own products that feature IR emitter Inputs, a mini-jack to mini-jack lead can be used. Commands received by the keypads can now be sent back to the source equipment via the 650R.

It is then possible to control the source equipment from the remote rooms by using the source equipment's own remote controls or through a learning remote. The Incognito LR10 can fully control the keypads, “learn” the source's remote control codes (including those from other manufacturers) and change source input on the 650R etc.

For further details on the Incognito multi-room system please contact your local Cambridge Audio dealer or visit www.cambridge-audio.com.
