The announcement of the new Bluetooth LIM (Local Input Module) by four A-BUS partners Channel Vision, Eaton, Forté, and Russound generated significant interest in Denver.
Andrew Goldfinch, President of LeisureTech Electronics, says, “On the surface the Bluetooth LIM is a simple A-BUS component; however, when integrators in Denver had an opportunity to see how it fits in with today’s market and new technologies, they saw it as a market changer.”
With music now being so accessible, and music libraries stored in smartphones and tablets, local source capability is going to become a “must-have” feature in MRA systems of the future, in much the same way multi-source access was a decade ago. Regrettably, for most systems with centralized amplification, this feature is not easy to incorporate. However, for A-BUS, it is very simple.
A-BUS has always offered a hard-wired local input module (RCA LIM), which has been used to provide a local source such as a TV, computer, or gaming device in a bedroom or any desired room. Now, A-BUS’s Bluetooth LIM provides a wireless option that connects directly to your personal music library or streaming device.
Another A-BUS advantage that makes the Bluetooth LIM so special is the availability of power down the line, which supplies power to the amplified device, either a keypad or speaker. This eliminates the need to provide a messy local power source for the Bluetooth receiver. The power for the Bluetooth LIM and/or the RCA LIM is available anywhere in the Cat5 wiring.
The time to install the A-BUS Bluetooth LIM is minimal and economical. It is simply spliced into the Cat5 line between the hub and the amplified device. And because of the A-BUS product standard, it can be retrofitted into any A-BUS system regardless of age or brand. It is A-BUS simple.
