WHAT IS IT?
BIX Remote Input Wall Plate
Cat5 is a very reliable wire. The BIX and BIB remote
input wall plates use a home run of cat5 wire. We
use cat5 connectors terminated to the T568A
protocol. It is strongly recommended to adhere to
this standard.
Speaker Connectors: We use a
detachable connector sometimes
called a phoenix connector.
There are four connectors
included with the Q450rs. Each
connects one stereo zone.
WHO IS IT FOR?
The Q450rs is a four source, four-zone multi-room
controller amplifier in a small, efficient package. It is
much like having four integrated hifi amplifiers
hidden away from sight and connected together for
a seamless listening experience.
It is equally comfortable at home as it is scaled up,
using the controlled audio outputs, for larger
installations such as art galleries or coffee shops.
The Q450rs is controlled by RS232 commands. There
is also a wall plate keypad controlled version
available, model Q450. The balanced input wall
plates (BIX) are a feature we are very proud of and
we hope you will agree. The BIX plate allows the
Q450 to have an input from a room or space far
away from the Q450 without any drop in signal
quality and best of all without any added unwanted
hum and noise. This is an industry first.
Let’s put this another way. Say you are enjoying a
dip in the tub. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to plug
in your iPod beside the tub and not have to run to
the amp to change a playlist? Best of all, the floor
stays dry!
Coming soon is a Bluetooth balanced input plate
(BIB). Not only does it allow for a wireless Bluetooth
connection, there is also a wired 3.5mm audio input
jack.
The Q450rs is controlled with its RS232 port. This
port can be connected directly to a whole house
control system or with third party adapters to the
home Ethernet or wifi and controlled by iPad,
iPhone, android tablets and other devices.
Each of the four zones can access any of the four
sources, adjust volume, bass, treble, mute, and
power on/off.
