Features

OPUS breaks new ground in the multi-room entertainment market, with the revolutionary AMR650 A-BUS Active Speaker System. Consisting of a matched pair of high-quality ceiling speakers which are optimised for custom installation and in-ceiling applications, the AMR650 features a wide-angle infra red eye mounted on the 'active' speaker which has all the amplifier electronics actually mounted on its back. This allows full access to volume, tone settings, and source selection controls by using the system or learning remote control. This eliminates the need for a wall control keypad and therefore makes an Opus 300 Multi-Room Entertainment System even easier to install, particularly in a 'retro-fit' situation.

When settings are being adjusted, small confirmation beeps are issued so the user knows that adjustments are being made. The active speaker contains a built-in stereo power amplifier which drives both itself and its passive twin. A pre-amp output is even included for connection to an active sub-woofer or separately powered pair of speakers if desired.

The AMR650 A-BUS® active speaker is connected to the Opus 300 Master Control Unit using Cat5e UTP or CAT6 cable, providing source signals, IR pass-through, switching commands and power for the amplifier. The passive speaker is connected to its active twin via either loudspeaker cable or another Cat5e UTP or CAT6.
