ENGLISH Danger Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably to noise induced hearing loss but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time.

Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the NuV o Essentia System. Essentia brings the best of today' s digital technology to a true whole- home audio system. Listening to multiple audio sources from independent zones throughout the home has never been easier or more affordable.

7 Inst alling the Essen tia Sy stem in Y our Home I. Prewire The Essentia System uses CA T5 cable for keypad control and either two or four-conductor 16-gauge speaker wire. All the wire is “homerun” from each zone to the location of the Essentia amplifier and Audio Source equipment.
II. T erminating Speaker Wire Be careful not to allow the exposed wire from each conductor to touch the adjacent conductor . This will short the speaker input. Each speaker output is designed for two 8-Ohm speakers. Overloading the amplifier could cause it to overheat and do damage to the output.
IV . Connecting the EZ Port to the Essentia amplif ier When the EZ P ort is installed in the wall the only part visible should be the faceplate and a single RJ45 jack. The supplied pre- terminated network cable can then be plugged into the jack on the EZ P ort and into the network connection on the back of the Essentia amplifier , Fig.
VII. Expanding Essentia to 12 Zones Six additional listening zones can be added to the Essentia System using the Essentia Expander package. The expansion is easily done using the Source Link and Digital Link multi-pin outputs on the Essentia main amplifier , Fig.
EQ Control and Source Grouping T o change bass response, press the Mute button and Source 1 button simultaneously. Adjust the bass level up or down by using the V olume Up and V olume Down buttons. The volume indicator LEDs will indicate the output level, fig.
All On/P arty Mode The Essentia System has an All On feature. Any keypad within the system, which can be up to twelve zones, has the ability to become a master control for the entire house. The master keypad will control zone on, volume level, and source selection for all other zones.
13 X. Using the Fixed and V ariable Lineouts Zone V ariable Lineout Each zone of the Essentia amplifier has two 3.5mm mini stereo outputs. These are fixed and variable lineouts used for adding additional amplification when necessary for each zone.
Zone Fixed Lineout In some zone applications, it is more advantageous to have a separate volume control on the additional speakers being driven by an additional amplifier . This is common with outdoor zones. The fixed lineout offers the capability to add amplification, but the audio signal is not affected by the zone keypad volume level.
15 XI. The NV-LRC1 IR Remote Control The Essentia System comes with the NV-LRC1 Learning Remote Control. This remote allows wireless control of all keypad functions, as well as the functions of the audio source equipment.
16 XIII. NV-LSA40 Local Source Amplif ier The LSA40 is 40 watt accessary amplifier that allows any line-level audio signal local to a zone to be amplified through that zone ’ s speakers. It is designed to be used universally in a variety of applications, but as shown in fig.
XIV . NV-LSA40PD Local Source Amplifier P ower Distribution Hub The LSA40PD is a great device for distributing the necessary DC power to up to 4 individual L SA40 amplifiers. This allows the L SA40 components to be remotely located without the need for an external power supply in the zone, fig.
18 XV . NV-LSI12 Local Source Interrupt A lower cost alternative to the LSA40 is the L SI12. This is a non-amplified local source interrupt. It is installed in the same way the LSA40 is installed, but the incoming local signal must be amplified, fig 20.
19 XVI. NV-P2100 200 W att Auxiliary Amplifier The P2100 is specifically designed for use with the NuV o Systems ' lineouts. It can be used with either the fixed or variable lineouts on the Essentia with either a 1/8” (3.5mm) to 1/8” stereo patch cable or a 1/8” stereo to RCA patch cable, Fig 21.
20 T roubleshooting When the keypad is plugged in there is a loud pop through the speakers and the keypad does not work. Improperly wired CA T5 cable. Check that you are using the 568A or B wiring standard (see section I: Crimping CA T5 wire). The best way to know is to use a CA T5 tester .
