Multi-room connections

The 640R features Incognito ReadyTM / A-BUSTMReady outputs, allowing multi-room capability. One or two amplified keypads can be plugged into the 640R (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 640R 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 640R 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 640R also features 2nd/3rd zone Composite video outputs which optionally allow the extra zones to have video capability. The 640R can use either Composite video or S-Video inputs as sources to supply the sub-zones, but not from Component or HDMI inputs. Note: If it is desired to use Component or HDMI for the main zone, the source should also be connected to the 640R by Composite or S-Video for the 2nd/3rd zone video output.

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 640R from the keypad.

Connections to the 640R’s Incognito ReadyTM / A-BUSTM Ready 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 640R.

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 640R etc.

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