8-Output Audio Local Zone Card for HLX

Audio Authority 2278 8-Output Audio Local Zone Card for HLX

Audio Authority 2278 8-Output Audio Local Zone Card for HLX

Use Audio Authority 2278
8-Output Audio Local Zone Cards to expand the capacity of an HLX Matrix Distribution System.

The 2278 card provides analog stereo audio for up to eight local audio zones, such as zone amplifiers or receivers.  Each zone may be switched as an independent audio zone, or can be switched with a video zone.

Audio Authority's ExpressRamp volume control smoothly changes volume to a set level with a single command and ZQ 10-band equalization help to correct for room acoustics via software, front-panel or third-party touch-panel interfaces.

Please see the HLX System page for more information.

Like most Audio Authority products, the 2278 comes with a one year limited warranty from the manufacturer.

Audio Authority's Description

HD Zone Card for HLX Modular Matrix

Model 2278

  • 2-channel analog audio switching for 8 outputs
  • ExpressRamp™ zone volume control
  • ZQ™ 10-band equalization per zone
  • Tone and balance controls

Overview

Audio Zones with Advanced DSP Features

The 2278 zone card provides more than just analog audio switching. Using advanced digital signal processing, our exclusive ExpressRamp™ volume control, ZQ™ 10-band equalization, plus tone and balance control is available for each audio zone.

How to Order

Order the 2278 as part of a custom HLX Modular Matrix. Call your Audio Authority Account Manager with questions or to order your custom HLX configuration.

[Editor's Note: the 2278 may also be ordered separately for upgrading existing HLX systems - just Add to Cart below or contact Cable Solutions for assistance]

Features

Equalization

ZQ™ 10-band equalization provides individual controls to correct for room acoustics. ZQ can be adjusted easily using the HLX PC Utility, and fine tuning can be performed on the HLX front panel menu or via any 3rd party touch panel controller.

Volume Control

ExpressRamp™ volume control enables volume in any zone to be set to a specific level via one command. It prevents abrupt volume changes by ramping up or down to the target volume level quickly and smoothly. Incremental volume commands are provided, and volume can also be set to a specific level without using ExpressRamp. Adjustable via PC utility, HLX front panel menu, or 3rd party touch panel.

Tone Controls

Tone controls (bass and treble) modify the audio signals in a zone after the equalization algorithms have been applied. Adjustable via PC utility, HLX front panel menu, or 3rd party touch panel.

Balance

Balance controls allow the installer to further compensate for room acoustics between left and right speakers. Adjustable via PC utility, HLX front panel menu, or 3rd party touch panel.

Zone Tracking

The 2278 may be used for independent audio zones, but if an audio zone should track a video zone, the HLX zone tracking feature can be employed. Using serial or Ethernet commands, any zone can be made to track with any other zone, so that when one zone is switched to a new source input, the other zone also switches. See the HLX user manual for details.

Shipping/Handling

 

Please check the "Shipping and payments" tab to see the shipping options we are offering for this item, including pricing and estimated ETA.  Please notice that eBay's estimates are not entirely reliable. If you need a better estimate, please do not hesitate to contact us.

USA Shipping Options

 

USPS Priority Mail
Air service that provides 1 to 3 day delivery to US addresses.  It includes basic tracking information as well as Delivery Confirmation.  Saturday delivery is included at no additional charge.

USPS Priority Mail Express
Premium air service that provides overnight delivery to most (but not all) US addresses.  Better tracking and faster delivery than Priority Mail.  Saturday delivery is included at no additional charge.

USPS First Class Mail
Economy service for items weighing less than 13 ounces and valued at less than $200.  This service is typically a day slower than priority mail and since scanning is optional, the tracking is of limited value.

UPS Ground
Economical alternative to mail services, particularly for large/heavy items.  Being a ground service, it is not fast unless you happen to be close to our shipping location, but tracking is typically superior to mail services.

UPS 3 Day Select
Guaranteed delivery within 3 business days.  Tracking is typically more reliable than mail services.

UPS 2nd Day Day Air
Premium alternative to mail services that provides guaranteed delivery by the end of the second business day.  Tracking is typically more reliable than mail services.

UPS Next Day Air Saver
Premium alternative to mail services that provides guaranteed delivery by the end of the next business day.  Tracking is typically more reliable than mail services.

UPS Next Day
Premium alternative to mail services that provides guaranteed delivery by the morning of the next business day.  Tracking is typically more reliable than mail services.

Please refer to the Shipping and payments tab to see the actual services, rates, and transit times available for this item.

International Shipping Options

 

Priority Mail Express International (EMS)
Our preferred international shipping method for all international shipments because it offers the best tracking as well as the fastest and most dependable delivery.

Priority Mail International
Available for items under $300 in value.  Cost is somewhat lower, although delivery is typically slower and tracking is less reliable than PMEI.

First Class Mail International
Economy service for items weighing less than 4 pounds and valued at under $200.  This is the least expensive international shipping option, but the savings comes at the expense of tracking - scanning not mandatory, so this service does not provide reliable tracking information, and the post office will not trace delayed or lost packages.

Please refer to the Shipping and payments tab to see the actual services, rates, and transit times available for this item.

Keep in mind that eBay's transit time estimates are from the US Postal Service.  The total transit time to your address can be affected by circumstances in your own country, such as delays at your local customs office, or cases where no one is available to receive the delivery.

International customers should be prepared to pay import taxes and/or duties at the time of delivery. In NAFTA member countries, customs duties should be discounted for products that are made in the USA, but taxes may still be collected.  Please be advised that we declare actual contents, value and country of origin for customs and insurance purposes.
No exceptions please.
