Hi Fi & Video Marketing has announced the availability in Australia of the ATON brand, a new player in the custom installation products business.

ATON has a singular mission of bringing practical, cost-effective entertainment signal routing products to more people. These simple-to-use, simple-to-install products will invite many more users to enjoy their music and video around the house.

The release of ATON ushers in the debut in Australia of its signal processing products aimed at putting advanced technology within reach of consumers. ATON has capitalized on its radio-frequency (RF) control, infrared (IR) control, digital signal processing, and video processing expertise to produce a comprehensive line of affordable and innovative routers to provide house-wide entertainment for consumers.

Audio distribution systems
ATON’s routers include the world’s first speaker-level RF/IR controlled router and a high-definition capable TV audio/video router. These innovative new products set capabilities not previously offered at this price point. ATON also offers a full line of architectural speakers and infrared products, totaling over 45 new models.

With its first introduction, ATON combines speaker-level switching technology with an RF remote control aspect never seen in the market. The two, four, and six-room speaker selectors (DLA-2, DLA-4 and DLA-6 respectively) also include a robust IR engine.

Also available is a wall mounted touch pad controller (DLATP) with built in IR
pass through which also shows the home owner volume level feedback and system status. These selectors feature patent-pending DLA (dynamic level adjustment) technology to provide multi-room features from a single source, including impedance-matching transformer technology, independent room volume settings, and power
source monitoring to provide maximum power to each room.

With these features ATON’s DLA series provides unique flexibility and choice to installers and consumers alike.

Audio/HD video distribution system
ATON’s other powerful system product is a full Cat5 solution for HD audio/video routing (HDR44) at a cost that truly puts technology in reach. With ATON’s HDR44 Audio/Video router, consumers can independently watch HD video combined with SPDIF digital or analog audio content from up to four sources into any of four zones in their home or business, while maintaining the sleek look of their flat panel displays.

The HDR44 system is also expandable to 8 zones.

Storm series speakers
Voiced by a team of musicians at ATON’s own sound labs, ATON’s Storm series of in-wall, in-ceiling, and LCR speakers balance clarity, accuracy, and power to create the ultimate audio and home theater surround sound experience at exceptional price points. Ideal for all indoor and outdoor audio applications, and designed to blend
in with any home environment, the speaker series offers a full range of flexible configurations and optimal features, such as custom driver materials and network components.

The ATON range of products is completed by a line of infrared accessories includes plasma-friendly IR receivers, IR emitters, and an amplified IR distribution block. An IR distribution kit includes everything needed for a basic IR repeater system.
