Hi-Fi by HAI’s highly efficient digital design means there is no
need to run wires to a central audio rack. Instead, the main unit is
mounted on a closet wall or in a structured wiring enclosure, so the
wiring is hidden. Volume and Source Controls (VSC) with a routed IR
repeater then communicate with the main unit. The result is music from
an office PC or bedroom iPod can be enjoyed and controlled from any
other room in the house.

HAI Launches Hi-Fi by HAI Whole Home Audio System at CEDIA
Home Automation, Inc. (HAI), a leading manufacturer of home control
products since 1985, will be demonstrating its new Hi-Fi by HAI Whole
Home Audio system in Booth 785 at the CEDIA show being held September
14 – 17 in Denver, Colorado.
Hi-Fi by HAI is an affordable high fidelity digital Whole Home Audio
distribution system that has 4 zones and 4 sources, expandable to 8
zones and 6 sources. It is a notable new entry in Whole Home Audio
because it has three times more power than “amplified keypad” systems
at similar cost and is the first built-in unit with remote input
modules, so music can be enjoyed in any room regardless of where the
music source is located.

Additionally, Hi-Fi by HAI is plug and play with HAI’s Omni and
Lumina automation controllers. The controller can set each zone’s
source and volume for parties, watching TV, morning news and goodnight,
for example, to coordinate the audio system with daily activities.
HAI’s many user interfaces will also control the Hi-Fi, including the
OmniTouch touchscreen, consoles and keypads, Snap-Link, Home Control
for Windows Media Center and Web-Link II.
“This is a very exciting new product that HAI developed in
conjunction with NuVo Technologies,” explains HAI President Jay
McLellan. “Our dealers can now offer an affordable high fidelity Whole
Home Audio distribution system that is modular, easy to install and
use, has seamless integration with HAI’s home control systems, and
allows users to enjoy their music in a flexible and convenient way.”
All products in the Hi-Fi by HAI line will be shipping by end of year and sold through HAI’s worldwide distribution channels. For more information please visit www.homeauto.com or call 800-229-7256.
