1. Introduction

Modern Convenience

The DH44 4 Source, 4 Zone Digital Audio Router with DIGI-5 Technology and related products from ATON provides the ability to listen to 4 different audio sources in up to 28 separate zones of the home, all over Cat-5 wiring for total fl exibility and convenience. No need to have multiple audio systems in different ares, just select a source from one of ATON’s revolutionary Touch Pads, sit back and enjoy!

Elegant Control Options

Select a custom faceplate option for each Touch Pad to blend into the décor of every room to

t the way you live. ATON’s DHTP1 Amplifi ed Touch Pads (sold seperately) provide full system control - source selection, volume, tone, mute, etc. - with no unsightly buttons. Use the included slimline remote to control the DH44 from across the room.

Crystal Clear Digital Sound

End-to-end digital architecture means that the entire signal path of the audio system remains in the digital domain from start to fi nish. This means that noise, signal loss and other unwanted effects are never present. Each Touch Pad contains a 30 Watt per channel digital amplifi er that allows the user to play music at loud volumes when desired. This also means that music at any volume is full and rich, without distortion and with plenty of bass!

Simple, Logical Installation

A DH44-based system connects using CAT-5 and speaker wire, making them reliable and easy to install. Any digital or analog audio source can be connected directly to the DH44 Digital Audio Router. DHTP1 Amplifi ed Touch Pads are connected to the DH44 using CAT-5 wiring (inexpen- sive and reliable), while speakers are connected to the Touch Pads using traditional speaker wire.

Entertaining Possibilities

The DH44’s Whole House Music and and Zone Grouping features make entertaining more fun than ever. Fully customized audio options allow for control of the entire house from one location and also allow for the creation of multiple zone linking where groups of zones work together.

Control for Parents

The Source Lock Out feature allows you to disable specifi c sources in the kid’s rooms that you don’t want them to access.
