Niles Audio A4.6Ci

The R-4 Remote - The R-4 Remote provides system control via an ergonomic hand-held IR remote control.

Zones that have been installed with Niles IR Sensors can take advantage of the R-4 Remote, providing system

control from anywhere in the room.

System-Wide Operation

The A4.6Ci MultiZone Preamplifier incorporates system-wide control to activate all zones to a particular source

component. An ALL OFF command is also included for complete system shutdown from any zone in the system.

Paging Input for Telephone Systems

Apaging input is provided for telephone systems equipped with a paging output. Audio sensing is utilized to

detect the paging signal. Source components currently playing in the various zones are interrupted, enabling

the paging signal to play through. If a zone is off during a page, it turns on, enabling the paging signal to play

through. Front-panel switches are provided to disable this paging feature in any zones where it is not required.

12V Control Output

Acontrol-output connector provides a constant 12V DC trigger signal the moment any zone is activated. This

signal can be interfaced to voltage-triggered AC power strips (i.e., Niles AC-3) for the automation of source

components that can only be activated via switched AC outlets.

Expandable for Larger Multi Zone Systems

Up to four A4.6Ci’s can be combined in a single system, providing 24 zones. Source component audio signals are

shared between preamplifiers, utilizing the buffered cascade audio outputs provided for each source component.

Multiple Rooms in a Single Zone

Asingle zone of an A4.6Ci can be expanded to accommodate as many as six individual rooms (master-bedroom

suites, outdoor areas, etc.). A Niles Ci Silencer Muting Volume Control (White - FG00773, Almond - FG00774,

Bone – FG00776) located in each room/area in the zone along with a Master Keypad Module (Solo or Select) pro-

vides individual ON/OFF and volume adjustment. A Niles Ci Expander (FG00853) connects all keypads to a single

zone of the A4.6Ci preamplifier. As many as 36 rooms can be connected to a single A4.6Ci preamplifier using six

Ci expanders and 36 Ci silencer volume controls.

Program Memory Protection

The A4.6Ci MultiZone Preamplifier utilizes non-volatile memory for storage of its programming. This safe-

guards against accidental loss of the programming for the entire life of the product.
