End-to-End Digital Audio

ATON's DH44 Digital Audio Router with DIGI-5 Technology is a groundbreaking end-to-end digital multi-source, multi-zone solution for superior sound quality with no signal loss. The DH44 can distribute four audio sources (analog or digital) into 4 zones and is expandable to 28 zones total using DH46X expansion routers. Using high-grade analog-to-digital converters, the DH44 transfers SPDIF digital audio over Cat5 wire to all connected DHTP1 Digital Amplified Touch Pads.

An Elegant Solution

ATON makes it easy to connect the DH44 Router to your existing audio sources and enjoy crystal clear digital audio in multiple areas throughout the house. Designed to blend into any home's interior, the customizable faceplates for the in-wall touch pads are simply elegant. The Digital Audio Router and Amplified Touch Pad provide the perfect entertainment solution: easy installation, sophisticated and sleek product designs, convenient control features, and unparalleled performance.

Convenient Touch Pad Control

The DHTP1 Touch Pad features a built-in, high efficiency digital amplifier (30 Watts per channel) and requires no PC software programming to operate - just plug in and you're ready to go. Once connected to the router, the touch pad can select between four system sources and a local source. For zones in which a local source is desired, such as an iPod?, gaming system or other in-room audio component, simply connect the DHSIP Source Input Wall Plate to the DHTP1 Touch pad via Cat5 wire, plug in the local source and select it from the touch pad. The digitally amplified audio is passed from the touch pad to in-room speakers over standard speaker wire, delivering audio like you've never heard before.
