 When it comes to a flexible and expandable multi-room mainframe, Suite 16 is by far the best system available. It accepts as many as sixteen source components (audio and video) and distributes them in sixteen zone increments up to ninety-six zones (96). This type of flexibility is specifically intended so that each and every acoustical area of a home receives its own discrete preamplifier, making it possible to contour the sound specifically to that environment. The Party Control feature permits room tracking such that several areas that are architecturally open to each other can still operate as independent zones even though they share the same source component.
The Suite 16 system also enables what ADA has coined "Home ESP — Entertainment, Surveillance, & Paging" which permits room to room paging as well as the integration of close-circuit TV cameras into the system. From a telephone you can page a room or a group of rooms. If someone is ringing your doorbell, the camera's images can automatically appear on TVs and touch screens (including ADA's TS-5000). Lastly, Suite 16 is card based, making it easy to expand and most important, letting you purchase just the modules and cards that you need |

 The PTM-8150 entered ADA's line-up along with the latest in home theatre advancements that included among other features, extended surround - the use of an additional speaker or speaker pair for back-surround. The PTM-8150, much like the PTM-6150 is an all MOSFET design implementing four double-stacked output transistors per channel (8 output devices per channel).
The PTM-8150 will flawlessly drive the most demanding home theatre speakers with its all-current power drive. In a 7.1 speaker system, the eighth channel can be used to drive passive subwoofers. For those looking for special sound in a multi-room system, the PTM-8150 can also be used to provide superior sound to four independent zones. |

 The PTM-1645 is often referred to as the "work horse" when it comes to multi-room sound. While other sixteen channel power amplifiers exist in the industry, none of them come close to the PTM-1645 with respect to performance, size and value. First and foremost, the PTM-1645 sounds amazing and is one of the main reasons ADA sits atop of the industry when it comes to multi-room sound. Able to drive eight independent zones, the PTM-1645 is also stable down to 2 Ohms - making it capable of driving four pair of 8 Ohm speakers per zone. Better yet, when adding a pair of speakers to a zone (2 pair of 8 Ohm speakers), instead of sharing power between the two pairs, the PTM-1645 nearly doubles its output.
The PTM-1645 also occupies only two rack spaces (3.5 inches in height) and because it is force-air cooled from side to side, it is specifically designed to be installed in very tightly packed racks. As for value, the PTM-1645 is built like a tank and designed to outlast other electronics out there. |
