Installing the Essentia System in Your Home I. Prewire The Essentia System uses CAT5 cable for keypad control and either two or four-conductor 16-gauge speaker wire. All the wire is “homerun” from each zone to the location of the Essentia amplifier and Audio Source equipment. Complete CAT5 Crimping Instructions The NuVo audio systems require CAT5, unshielded, twisted pair (UTP), for communication between the keypads/Display Pads and the main amplifier unit. Each end of the wire is terminated wit

Installing the Essentia Amplifier System setup works best when the amplifier is placed in the Once you have plugged the Cat-5 wires into the EZ Port, screw the EZ Port into its construction bracket using the supplied mounting same location as the audio source equipment. This is typically in screws. an audio rack, entertainment center or a closet dedicated to housing the home audio/video equipment.

X. Using the Fixed and Variable Lineouts Each zone of the Essentia amplifier has two 3.5mm mini stereo outputs. These are fixed and variable lineouts used for adding additional amplification when necessary for each zone. A distinct advantage to the NuVo equipment is the ability to use the amplified output, variable and fixed lineouts all simultaneously on all zones. The Essentia amplifier has zone trigger outputs that provide a 12V trigger for additional amplification. This enables the attached

Zone Fixed Lineout In some zone applications, it is more advantageous to have a separate volume control on the additional speakers being driven by an additional amplifier. This is common with outdoor zones. The fixed lineout offers the capability to add amplification, but the audio signal is not affected by the zone keypad volume level. Therefore, it requires a separate volume control for those speakers, fig. 16. Fig. 16 Zone/Room 1 VOLUME MUTE TNR1 CD C C C C C C TNR2 HD C C C C C C C C C SAT 1

XI. The NV-LRC1 IR Remote Control The Essentia System comes with the NV-LRC1 Learning Remote Control. This remote allows wireless control of all keypad functions, as well as the functions of the audio source equipment. Each NuVo zone keypad has an IR receiver that captures the specific source commands from any remote control and in turn sends the command ultimately to the appropriate source equipment. Embedded IR code libraries makes use of the LRC1 with a large variety of audio and video equip
