A Revolutionary Way to Enjoy Music Throughout Your Home

Hi-Fi is revolutionary because it allows you to listen to the music sources that you already own or any brand that you wish to purchase. These sources can be located throughout the house.

Hi-Fi by HAI's components are modular, giving flexibility for expansion as needs change. The base system comes with 4 zones and 4 sources; however, it may be expanded to a maximum of 8 zones and 6 sources.

Hi-Fi by HAI may be a standalone installation or may be integrated with an HAI home control system.

Remote Input Module (RIM)

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. You can even put multiple RIM's in the same room.

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.

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 a 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 almond, black, ivory, and white.

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.

Volume-Source Control (VSC) Unit

Place the wall mounted Volume-Source Control (VSC, shown at left) in any room that has speakers that you wish to control.

A maximum of 8 VSC's may be installed in a Hi-Fi by HAI installation.

You have the ability to play any music that is connected 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 by pressing the VSC down until it shows the number for the RIM connected to the laptop. Any VSC can play music from the same source, which allows you to listen to the big game on every speaker in the house.

The VSC display shows the current volume level. It features an easy-to-use turn knob for volume adjustments. To turn a zone on just turn up the volume level. To turn a zone off just set the volume level to zero.

The VSC is used to select your music source. Pressing and releasing the knob once will show the RIM number of the current source of music. To change your music source just keep pressing and releasing the knob until you have arrived at the music source you wish to hear.

Additionally, a VSC may be used to adjust bass, treble, and balance. Press and hold the VSC knob until BA shows in the display. Use the knob to adjust your zone's bass. Press the knob one more time and tr shows in the display. You then use the knob to adjust your zone's treble. Finally, press the knob one more time and BL shows in the display. Use the knob to adjust the zone's balance.

You can turn off every zone in your Hi-Fi system by pressing and holding the VSC knob and releasing it when FF shows up in the display.

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, black, ivory, and white.

VSC's act as an infra-red repeater 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.

Main System Unit

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.

Hi-Fi uses Class D digital amplification; accordingly, it runs cool and only gets warm under high volume levels. HAI offers a vented enclosure for this system.

The zone amplification is 20 watts RMS at 4 ohms per channel. It is 10 watts RMS at 8 ohms per channel.

There are two variable outputs (Zones 1 and 8) for connection to external power amplifiers and a page/mute input.

Remotes

HAI includes a basic remote that allows you to change sources and volume in the room that you are in.

HAI offers a programmable remote that you can use to learn the codes from your source equipment. It can then control your source equipment, as well as the source and volume for the room that you are in.

You may also use your source equipment’s remote control by pointing it at the Volume-Source Control (VSC) unit since each VSC unit has IR pass-through.

Integrating with an HAI Home Control System

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, including OmniTouch 5.7 Touchscreens, consoles, keypads, Snap-Link, Home Control for Windows Media Center and Web-Link II.

Hi-Fi by HAI 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. Zone messages will broadcast through a zone, even if it is turned off.
