A-BUS: Your Audio Partner
Solutions for the Generational Change of Music Delivery
Alexandria, NSW, Australia — 15 April 2013
LeisureTech Electronics, inventors of A-BUS®, the popular patented and licensed multi-room audio technology, announces their A-BUS: Your Audio Partner marketing campaign.
The campaign will highlight the changes occurring in the custom audio market and how their patented A-BUS Cat5 technology is more relevant than ever. Their system technology is evolving and will continue to be developed for today’s and tomorrow’s multi-room audio market by A-BUS partner brands.
Andrew Goldfinch, Managing Director of LeisureTech, states,
“The custom audio industry is undergoing a generational change. System control and music delivery have become less expensive and easier to access. This includes streaming content, wired/wireless solutions, and smartphone/PAD control products, opening up new opportunities for the consumer to enjoy whole-house audio.”
Scott Sylvester, LeisureTech U.S. Operations Manager, adds,
“In the U.S., internet content is provided within the home via reliable Cat5 wiring. A-BUS licensed audio and intercom solutions work on standard Cat5 wiring, are cost-effective, and are simple to install and operate. A-BUS offers unique choices to integrators who are increasingly pressured to deliver solutions with lower labor costs and modular flexibility.”
Andrew Goldfinch further explains,
“Over the years, A-BUS has built up a following of integrators who have been able to install good-sounding solutions for their clients with high reliability and reduced after-sale support, helping every A-BUS system be a profitable installation. Now, with more modern and convenient technology available, A-BUS can offer more system control and easier music streaming with the same simplicity they have always enjoyed. Additionally, homes wired with A-BUS will be able to upgrade to the latest technologies, including wireless options.”

Simplicity
A-BUS takes the confusion out of whole-house audio by simplifying all aspects — system design, installation, and consumer operation — while still providing high-quality audio, flexibility to suit most requirements, and high reliability.
One Cable
The patented A-BUS technology provides actual power up the line for amplification, control, and wireless accessories. It simplifies installation and eliminates the need for long runs of expensive speaker cable and the resulting signal losses.
Local Source
In-room amplification allows access to local sources and control in individual rooms — a unique A-BUS feature. Now, with Bluetooth wireless connectivity, individual rooms can access music directly from smartphones and other devices.
A-BUS Direct
With amplification mounted on the speaker, a single Cat5 cable from the hub to the active speaker is all that is required, with control via an A-BUS remote, a tablet, or a smartphone.
Power Access
A-BUS provides power to the amplified room unit via the Cat5 cable from the hub. This eliminates the need for a local power supply or access to a nearby power socket. It can also provide power in the room for low-current devices such as Bluetooth modules and similar accessories.
Flexible Format
Not limited to the traditional multi-room 4×4 format, A-BUS allows solutions to start with just one or two rooms — ideal for the growing MDU market — with the flexibility to expand up to 50 rooms, single-source or multi-source, all using the standard Cat5 wiring pattern.
