Crestron electronic ABAR-1 Setup

Crestron ABAR-1 Adagio™ Balanced Audio Receiver

Setup

CAT5 wiring is a twisted pair cable designed for Ethernet networks.

These networks operate at speeds of up to 100 Megabits per second

(Mbps) using the 100BaseT standard. Crestron takes advantage of this

specification for a variety of audio and video applications.

Crestron recommends using CresCAT-IM (or D) wire for transmitting

audio signals from the audio source to the ABAR-1.

When using a Creston wiring solution, the CresCAT-IM (or D) wire can

carry audio signals up to 500 feet (observe distance limitations based

upon power consumption for the device in use).

For more information, refer to the latest version of the Crestron CAT5

Wiring Reference Guide (Doc. 6137), which is available for download

from the Crestron website (www.crestron.com/manuals).

The ABAR-1 can be mounted in a rack or to any surface using the

integral mounting flanges. Mounting hardware is not provided.

Make the necessary connections as called out in the illustration that

follows this paragraph.

The CAT5 connection between the audio source and ABAR-1 only

carries audio signals. Additional connections and wiring may be required

to support communications for control of the source device. Refer to the

product manuals for each component involved for complete

requirements.

Apply power after all connections have been made.

When making connections to the ABAR-1, consider the following:

• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.

• Maximum CAT5 audio cable length is 500 feet.

• Maximum RCA audio cable length is 12 feet.
