ABH 4 4-Room A-BUS Expansion Hub One ABH 4 = four rooms; more ABH 4's = many more rooms. With A-BUS-equipped AVRs, the more ABH 4's you have, the more rooms you can serve - and the more music-hungry constituents you can satisfy. But even without A-BUS technology, the ABH 4's onboard audio inputs allow you to distribute audio from any receiver's "Tape" or "Multiroom" outputs to any room. You may even distribute content directly from any handy CD or DVD player. As usual, Harman Kardon has got you covered. AB 2 Amplified In-Wall Module With Onboard Controls for A-BUS Applications The ultimate keypad. The AB 2 connects to your A-BUSequipped AVR or ABH expansion hub to power your local speakers without an additional amplifier. Also, it easily allows you to select and control your listening sources as you enter a room (and its key caps are swappable, to mirror your system), or to power the system off as you depart. And during your stay? The AB 2 has an infrared sensor to relay your every wish to the AVR with virtually any Harman Kardon remote. AB 1 Amplified In-Wall Module for A-BUS Applications Often located next to the light switch, and every bit as important. Controlling your A-BUS-equipped Harman Kardon AVR in remote rooms, as well as powering remote speakers, is as simple as a single connection to the AVR or the nearest ABH expansion hub, and a link to the speakers. That will give you the option of controlling local volume with the AVR's secondzone remote, or directly from the AB 1. HE 1000 External Infrared Remote Sensor We don't know of many people hiding Harman Kardon components behind closed doors, but just in case. When you think about it (and we have) a remote sensor for your system's IR remote only makes sense. What if your flat-panel video monitor is in front of you (duh) and your AVR isn't? Or what if your receiver is upstairs and you're not? One or more of our HE 1000's can put you in control of your AVR from anywhere in your home. And although it's usually considered impolite to point, the IR sensors don't seem to mind. 25
