The Hi-Fi audio system by HAI that allows you to listen to music throughout your home. Home owners can listen to various sources in each room at the same time. 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 Expansion system comes with 4 zones and 2 sources; The Hi-Fi may be a standalone installation or may be integrated with an HAI home control system.
Volume-Source Control (VSC) Unit:
Place the wall mounted Volume-Source Control (VSC) in any room that has speakers that you wish to control. 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! 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. 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. A maximum of 8 VSC's may be installed in a Hi-Fi by HAI installation.
Remote Input Module (RIM):
Hi-Fi by HAI is the first built-in system that uses a Remote Input Module, 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, 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.
