ISM4 FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS

Figure 1 – ISM4 Front Panel Features

ISM4 FRONT PANEL FEATURES

1.IR Learning Eye. The IR Learning Eye allows teaching IR Commands to the ISM4 for programming Source ON and OFF Macros and Command Structures.

2.Source 1-4 LED’s. These LED’s are primarily used to indicate the sensed state of a corresponding system device (Source 1-4). When a sensed device is ON, the LED for that device will illuminate solid green. When that device is OFF the LED will be OFF. A Source LED will flash green when the ISM4 is outputting IR for that source. These LED’s will also illuminate individually during IR Programming to indicate which device the IR Commands being learned are being associated with. Several of the function buttons on the front panel are capable of launching different functions based on the current programming state and the duration of the button press. The allowed elapsed times are; 1 second, 2 seconds, 5 seconds and 10 seconds. To eliminate the burden on the programmer to have to keep track of time, the ISM4 will prompt the programmer when all but the 1 second elapsed time intervals have expired. This is true for all buttons that have time dependencies. Upon initiation of a press of a button with time dependencies, the unit starts tracking time. Upon crossing the 2 second threshold, the unit will quickly flash the current active SOURCE LED. If the button remains pressed beyond this point the unit continues to monitor elapsed time. After 5 seconds of continuously pressing the button, the current active SOURCE LED will blink once again. Finally after 10 seconds of a continuous press, the LED will blink a third time. Given that there is not time dependency that exceeds 10 seconds the unit starts to blink rapidly to indicate that the max time duration has been exceeded.

First Blink:

2 second elapsed time indication.

Second Blink:

5 second elapsed time indication.

Third Blink:

10 second elapsed time indication.

• 4th + (Rapid Blink):

Maximum Elapsed time exceeded indication

3.Program LED. This LED will illuminate different colors during the progressive steps of Source Programming to indicate which Macro (by Source) is being programmed.

Normal Mode

LED Off – Normal use mode. (Power Management)

Solid Red During IR Generation – Retry Source ON or OFF Macro (up to five times).

Flash Red – Flash at a rate of 1/3 of a second indicates that the unit is processing a long delay.

ISM4 specifications

The Xantech ISM4 is an innovative multi-zone audio distribution system designed to enhance the listening experience across various environments. This advanced model is particularly suitable for residential and commercial applications, where high-quality audio distribution is crucial.

One of the standout features of the ISM4 is its ability to manage up to four separate audio zones. This means users can enjoy different audio sources in different areas simultaneously, catering to diverse preferences and activities. The system supports various audio sources, including streaming services, local media players, and traditional radio, which can all be directed to any zone, providing flexibility and convenience.

The ISM4 utilizes sophisticated digital signal processing (DSP) technology to ensure that audio quality is always at its peak. The DSP allows for customizable audio settings such as equalization, volume adjustment, and audio balance, enabling users to tailor their listening experience to their unique preferences and room characteristics. This level of customization ensures that whether it’s background music in a living room or dynamic sound in a home theater, the audio output is optimized.

Another significant characteristic of the Xantech ISM4 is its user-friendly interface. The system can be controlled via a dedicated app or physical switches, offering versatility in how users interact with their audio setup. The app is compatible with both iOS and Android devices, making it accessible to a wide range of users. Furthermore, the ISM4 can be easily integrated with third-party control systems and home automation solutions, allowing for seamless synchronization with other smart home technology.

Connectivity is another strong point of the ISM4. It supports various input options, including HDMI, optical, and analog connections, allowing users to connect a variety of audio sources without hassle.

Reliability and durability are ensured through robust build quality, making the ISM4 suitable for long-term use in various environments. With its combination of advanced audio distribution capabilities, user-friendly features, and robust connectivity, the Xantech ISM4 stands out as a leading choice for those looking to elevate their audio experience in both home and commercial settings.
