Audio Authority has long been the expert in retail showroom signal distribution. It comes with no surprise that they should bring that expertise to the custom home installation marketplace.

The new 9870 distribution series incorporates key signal paths required for effective audio and video entertainment, plus an integrated IR pathway for easy remote control of AV components. Just two inexpensive, easy to install Cat 5 cables are used. The Model 9871 Cat 5 Driver distributes HDTV signals up to 1000 feet from the source driver.

The Wallplate and Driver

The Audio Authority 9871 Cat 5 Driver distributes HDTV signals up to 1,000 feet from the source to one or two 9878 wallpalte receivers. It's easy to expand a 9870 System to any size. Simply stack additional 9871 Drivers on to the first 9871 using RCA cables. An unlimited number of 9871 wallplates may be served in this way.

Each Driver feeds two 9878 Wallplates, and expanding capacity is as easy as adding more Drivers and Wallplates. The Wallplate is easy to install in a standard dual-gang electrical box. Each durable, stainless steel Wallplate offers component video, digital audio and analog audio jacks, plus an antenna pass-through jack (RF cable for antenna jack functionality must be added separately). The IR jack provides a convenient pathway for a third party IR remote distribution network over the Cat 5 pathway. IR receiver and emitter equipment not included.

Dazzling, and Expandable

The 9870 Series delivers pristine high definition video signal with astounding clarity and color fidelity up to 1,000 feet from the source. Like our commercial video distribution products, the 9870 Series provides reliable ground isolation, preventing hum bars and other artifacts associated with ground loops.

It's easy to expand a 9870 System to any size. Simply stack additional 9871 Drivers using our Kit 46 stacking kit, or connect using RCA cables. An unlimited number of Wallplates may be served in this way.

This diagram shows basic audio/video signal flow in a medium sized installation. Two or more Drivers may be "stacked" to increase capacity. The RCA bus output may be used to feed HDTV signals to a local video display and/or sound system. See the PDF Installation Manual for details.
