ENGLISH Danger Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably to noise induced hearing loss but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to suf ficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specifi[...]

The power button supplies power to the system. Each zone can then be turned on or off independently. The amplifier should be turned on before any external connections are made. [...]

Essentia Back P anel 1. Audio Source Inputs: The Essentia amplifier accepts up to six audio sources. A source consists of any audio component capable of supplying a line level signal. 2. Source Link: This multi-pin connection is used to transfer the audio information from the Essentia main amplifier to the expander amplifier . This output is used t[...]

8 Inst a lling the Essen tia S yst em in Y our Home I. Prewire The Essentia System uses CA T5 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 CA T5 Crimping Instructions The NuV o audio systems[...]

III. T erminating Speaker Wire The speaker wire for each zone is terminated in a standard Euro- style connector that plugs into each zone specific amplified output. The common speaker termination scheme is Left - Left +, Right - Right +. Either two or four-conductor 16-guage wire is recommended. Larger than 14-guage wire will not fit into the euro [...]

V . Connecting the EZ P ort to the Essentia amplifier When the EZ P ort is installed in the wall the only part visible should be the faceplate, speaker connections for zones 1-6, and a single RJ45 jack. The speaker connections are made using the supplied Euro connectors and the supplied pre-terminated network cable is used to integrate the system k[...]

VIII. Expanding Essentia to 12 Zones Six additional listening zones can be added to the Essentia System using the Essentia Expander package. The expansion is easily done using the Audio Link and Digital Link multi-pin outputs on the Essentia main amplifier . The necessary cables for this are supplied with the Expander package. The other necessary c[...]

EQ Control and Source Grouping T o change bass response, press the Mute button and Source 1 button simultaneously. Adjust the bass level up or down by using the V olume Up and V olume Down buttons. The volume indicator LEDs will indicate the output level, fig. 10. Adjust treble response using the same process. This is accessed by pressing the Mute [...]

14 XI. Using the Fixed and V ariable 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 NuV o equipment is the ability to use the amplified output, variable and fixed lineouts all simu[...]

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,[...]

16 XII. 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 NuV o zone keypad has an IR receiver that captures the specific source commands from any remote control and in turn sends [...]

17 XIV . NV-LSA40 Local Source Amplifier The LSA40 is 40 watt accessary amplifier that allows any line-level audio signal local to a zone to be amplified through that zone ’ s speakers. It is designed to be used universally in a variety of applications, but as shown in fig. 18, it can be triggered on and off by any zone keypad. When connected to [...]

XV . NV-LSA40PD Local Source Amplifier P ower Distribution Hub The LSA40PD is a great device for distributing the necessary DC power to up to 4 individual L SA40 amplifiers. This allows the LSA40 components to be remotely located without the need for an external power supply in the zone, fig. 19. The LSA40PD is typically located where the Essentia [...]

19 XVI. NV-LSI12 Local Source Interrupt A lower cost alternative to the LSA40 is the L SI12. This is a non-amplified local source interrupt. It is installed in the same way the LSA40 is installed, but the incoming local signal must be amplified, fig 20. This is a useful accessory where a local amplified signal is already present. F ig. 20 LOCAL SOU[...]

20 XVII. NuV o NV-P2100 200 W att Auxiliary Amplifier The P2100 is specifically designed for use with the NuV o Systems ' lineouts. It can be used with either the fixed or variable lineouts on the Essentia with either a 1/8” (3.5mm) to 1/8” stereo patch cable or a 1/8” stereo to RCA patch cable, Fig 21. There are two methods for triggeri[...]

21 T roubleshooting When the keypad is plugged in there is a loud pop through the speakers and the keypad does not work. Improperly wired CA T5 cable. Check that you are using the 568A or B wiring standard (see section I: Crimping CA T5 wire). The best way to know is to use a CA T5 tester . Symptom Probable Cause Remedy When the keypad is plugged i[...]
