Example of HAI distributed audio system HI-FI 2 . . .

HAI has several audio Connectivity Partners that integrate their music systems with HAI home control systems. Have you ever walked around your home wishing that your music could follow you - that you could share the music located in one room with other rooms? Would you like to control the volume with one simple knob? How about using this same knob to select and hear a music source located in another room? Until now, purchasing such a sleek audio system meant spending a great deal of money. Hi-Fi by HAI is seamless and allows music to live anywhere in a home and still be enjoyed everywhere in a home.Hi-Fi 2 is available as a standalone Multi-Room Audio system, or can plug and play with HAI's Omni home control systems and Lumina control systems.

The HAI home control system can select the source and set the volume for each zone to coordinate the audio system with your activities:
• Wake up every morning with the news radio station.
• Set every room to the iPod™ and preset the volumes for a party.
• When arriving home have the den zone turn on using the satellite radio as its source.
• Turn the entire system off when leaving the house.
• Mute bedroom and outdoor zones when it's bedtime.

Use any of HAI's user interfaces to control Hi-Fi 2, including Touchscreens, consoles, keypads, and software like Snap-Link Mobile for iPhone.

Announcements/Paging with a Home Control System and Hi-Fi 2

Hi-Fi 2 allows an HAI controller that has a Two-Way Voice Module installed to broadcast system announcements over all zones. The Two-Way Voice Module will allow someone to broadcast messages through the phone by picking it up and dialing #832. If enabled, messages will broadcast through a zone, even if it is turned off.

UP TO 16 ZONES AVAILABLE . . .

The Hi-Fi 2 is HAI's all new distributed audio system. With double the zones, more than double the power, more sources, and an all new keypad with OLED display, the Hi-Fi 2 is reinvented for today's demanding homeowners. The powerful yet compact Hi-Fi 2 plays music from devices you already own (or those you wish to purchase), and is so easy to operate that anyone can enjoy it. With Hi-Fi 2, you have the ability to listen to different sources at the same time at different volume levels throughout your home. Or set all zones to the same source and volume. Audio sources can now be located throughout the house using Remote Input Modules, or locally inputted at the Hi-Fi 2 amplifier. Local input examples include items like HAI's Music Gateway and satellite/Internet radio tuners. Remote input examples include a home theater system, kitchen TV, iPod dock, etc.

Hi-Fi by HAI's components are modular, giving flexibility for expansion as needs change. The base system provides 8 zones and 8 sources; however, it may be expanded to 16 zones and 8 sources. Hi-Fi by HAI may be a stand-alone installation or may be integrated with an HAI home control system for enhanced features including control from an iPhone or iPad. Affordable high fidelity performance. It has three times more power than "amplified keypad" systems at similar cost. In addition to this power, there are two variable outputs (Zones 1 and 8) for connection to external power amplifiers, and a page/mute input. Very easy to use. The Volume-Source Control (VSC) has a routed IR repeater. The main unit is mounted on a closet wall or in a structured wiring enclosure for a neat professional installation. Plug and Play with HAI's Omni home control systems and Lumina lighting control systems. The Hi-Fi system can be controlled by the user through the OmniTouch Touchscreen, Snap-Link, or through automation programming. The home control system can select the source and set the volume for each zone to coordinate the audio system with your activities.

MAIN ASSEMBLY . . .

With Hi-Fi By HAI there are no unsightly wires running to an audio rack; the audio controller is tucked away in a closet or basement. Since Hi-Fi uses digital amplification it runs cool and only gets warm under high volume levels. HAI offers a vented enclosure for this system.

Hi-Fi 2 Volume-Source Control (VSC) Unit

Place the wall mounted OLED Volume-Source Control (VSC, shown at right) in any room that has speakers that you wish to control. A maximum of 16 VSC's may be installed in a Hi-Fi by HAI installation. You have the ability to play any music that is connected locally or to a Remote Input Module (RIM) - no matter if that RIM is in the same room or not! Play the music on your laptop located in the bedroom through the VSC and speakers in the kitchen. Every VSC can play music from the same source, which allows you to listen to the big game on every speaker in the house. The OLED VSC displays source name, volume bar chart, bass treble, balance and more. It features four hard buttons for control of volume, source, and power. The color of the VSC may be changed to complement the interior décor. It comes in white and color change kits are available in almond, light almond, black, ivory, and white.VSC's act as an infra-red repeaters for source component control. Simply point the source's remote at the VSC and it will route the signal back to the original source component through the RIM.

Hi-Fi 2 is a built-in system that uses a Remote Input Module (RIM, shown at right), so music can be located anywhere instead of in an audio rack. A maximum of 8 RIM's may be installed with a Hi-Fi by HAI system. RIM's can be located throughout the house to pick up music from your home theater, kitchen TV, computer, personal music player, Media Center, CD player - any source with an audio output. You can even put multiple RIM's in the same room. The Hi-Fi 2 also has local inputs, so items in an audio rack (like satellite radios and tuners) can be easily added. Place RIM's in rooms that will have music sources that you wish to share. When you plug a music source into a RIM using a standard stereo input jack, such as the one on a Hi-Fi by HAI retractable cable, it can be shared with any room that has a Volume-Source Control (VSC), even if that VSC is in a different room than the RIM.

8 ZONE EXPANSION BOARD

Hi-Fi by HAI is the first built-in system that uses a Remote Input Module (RIM, shown at left), so music can be located anywhere instead of in an audio rack. RIM's can be located throughout the house to pick up music from your home theater, kitchen TV, computer, personal music player, satellite radio, Media Center, CD player - any source with an audio output. Place RIM's in rooms that will have music sources that you wish to use. When you plug any music source into a RIM using a standard stereo input jack it can be shared with any room that has a Volume-Source Control (VSC).

HAI offers two Hi-Fi by HAI 4 foot retractable cables to help you connect your audio sources to a RIM. One is a 3.5 mm male to 2 RCA male patch cable and the other is a 3.5 mm male to 3.5 mm male patch cable. A maximum of 6 RIM's may be installed with an Hi-Fi by HAI system. RIM's may be placed in the same rooms as VSC's, and multiple RIM's may be installed in the same room. The color of the RIM may be changed to complement the interior décor. It comes in white and color change kits are available in white, almond, black, and ivory. RIM's feature a routed IR emitter jack and include a flasher to allow you to use the remote of your source equipment in any room that has a VSC.

TRUAUDIO SPEAKERS

All our products; whether it's a entry level in-ceiling speaker or one the top of the line multi-channel amps, use only top notch materials. We use strong plastics to prevent bending during installation and warping overtime. The woofer and tweeter materials are picked to perform exactly in the application depending on the model. Some materials are better for full range music and some are better for voice and theater sound. Aluminum, Titanium, Woven Carbon Fiber, even our Polypropylene is the finest around. We go all the way to make sure our products perform beyond the expected. All our architectural style speakers can be painted and made almost invisible so it blends into any room. We use the latest technology for testing the products to make sure they will hold up even under the hardest conditions. Not only that, we have no problem backing that up...all of our speakers boast a LIFETIME warranty.

Round shaped architectural speakers are most of the time referred to as “in-ceiling speakers”. This is because these are usually installed into the ceiling to blend in with other typical ceiling fixtures like recess can lights, ceiling fans, smoke detectors, etc.

Most in-ceiling speakers are of the “coaxial” design meaning the tweeter (high frequency) is located on the middle of the woofer (low or mid frequencies) instead of a dust cap. This design delivers a uniform sound that is perfect for speakers placed above the listening area
