Danger

Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent

hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably to noise induced hearing

loss but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently

intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government's

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified

the following permissible noise level exposures:

According to OSHA, any exposure in the above permissible limits could

result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canal or over

the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to

prevent a permanent hearing loss. If exposure in excess of the limits as

put forth above, to insure against potentially harmful exposure to high

sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to

equipment capable of inducing high sound pressure levels, such as this

amplification system, be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in

operation.

Installing the Essentia System in Your Home

I. Prewire

The Essentia System uses CAT5 cable for keypad control and either two or four-conductor 16-gauge speaker wire. All the wire is

“homerun” from each zone to the location of the Essentia amplifier and Audio Source equipment.

Complete CAT5 Crimping Instructions

The NuVo audio systems require CAT5, unshielded, twisted

pair (UTP), for communication between the

keypads/Display Pads and the main amplifier unit. Each

end of the wire is terminated with an RJ45 connector.

The Essentia System can accommodate 2,000 total feet of

CAT5 cable. For the most reliable operation, it is best that

no single run of CAT5 exceeds 250 feet.

The correct wiring scheme for the CAT5 cable is standard

EIA/TIA 568A. Properly terminating the CAT5 cable is

crucial for the operation of the system. It is very important

to use a good quality crimp tool, and test each end to end

run with a CAT5 wire tester to insure that your system

operates flawlessly, fig.1.

Step-by-Step Crimping Instructions:

1. Strip a 2 to 3 inch portion of the insulation,

exposing the 4 twisted pairs.

2. Untwist the wires and fan them out

individually. Arrange the wires into the

correct color scheme as shown in Fig. 1.

3. Flatten the wires in their correct order, and trim

them evenly across the top. Most crimp tools have

a wire trimmer built-in. It is best to trim the wires

to about ½” in length.

4. While holding the wires flat between your thumb

and forefinger, insert the wires into the RJ45

connector, so each is in its own slot. Push the wire

into the RJ45, so all 8 conductors touch the end of

the connector. The insulation jacket should

extend beyond the crimp point of the RJ45.

5. Insert the RJ45 into the crimp tool receptacle and

squeeze the tool firmly. Note that a ratchet type

tool should tighten down until it no longer clicks.

6. The RJ45 should be firmly crimped to the CAT5

insulation. It is necessary that the color scheme

be repeated identically on each end of the wire.

III. Terminating Speaker Wire

The speaker wire for each zone is terminated in a standard Euro-

style connector that plugs into each zone specific amplified

output. The common speaker termination scheme is Left - Left +,

Right - Right +. Either two or four-conductor 16-guage wire is

recommended. Larger than 14-guage wire will not fit into the

euro connector.

To terminate the speaker wire, strip back the outer jacket and

expose the inner conductors. Strip approximately 1/4” (4 mm)

of the insulation from the inner conductors exposing the copper

wire. Place the exposed wire in the euro connector and tighten

the screw down terminals, fig. 2.

Be careful not to allow the exposed wire from each conductor to

touch the adjacent conductor. This will short the speaker input.

Each speaker output is designed for two 8-Ohm speakers.

Overloading the amplifier could cause it to overheat and do

damage to the output.

II. Installing the Essentia Amplifier

System setup works best when the amplifier is placed in the

same location as the audio source equipment. This is typically in

an audio rack, entertainment center or a closet dedicated to

housing the home audio/video equipment.

The amplifier should be plugged in and the power button on the

front panel should be turned on before proceeding with the rest of

the installation. This activates the internal protective circuitry of

the Essentia System.

IV. Installing the NV-E6DEZP-UK EZ Port

The EZ Port is a multi-connection hub designed to accept all the

CAT5 wires from the keypads in the system and the speaker wires

from the speakers in each zone. The location of the EZ Port

should be determined by the location of the Essentia amplifier. It

is best to place in the wall behind the amplifier that would be

easily accessible if necessary.

The EZ Port fits easily in a dual bracket with an open back. These

are often referred to as “mud rings”. Simply plug the terminated

CAT5 wires into any of the six available jacks on the back of the

EZ Port. The zone speaker wires screw down to the appropriately

labeled termination, Fig. 3.

The order in which the individual CAT5 wires are plugged is in not

important, although it is strongly recommended that you label the

CAT5 with the appropriate zone number for future reference.

Once you have plugged the Cat-5 and speaker wires into the EZ

Port, screw the EZ Port into its construction bracket using the

supplied mounting screws.

Fig. 3

V. Connecting the EZ Port to the Essentia amplifier

When the EZ Port is installed in the wall the only part visible

should be the faceplate, speaker connections for zones 1-6, and

a single RJ45 jack. The speaker connections are made using the

supplied Euro connectors and the supplied pre-terminated

network cable is used to integrate the system keypads. Speaker

connections and the network connection are made from the face

of the EZ Port the back of the Essentia, fig. 4. Any CAT5 cable

terminated using 568A or 568B network wiring will suffice should

you need a longer network connection.

VII. Connecting the IR Emitters

IR commands for the source equipment are transferred from the

Essentia amplifier to the source equipment via mini IR mouse

emitters. Six of these are supplied with your Essentia System.

The emitter is plugged into the corresponding source IR output

on the Essentia and then placed over the IR receiver window on

the source component, fig. 6. The IR outputs are individually

routed to sources 1-6 allowing IR commands from the chosen

source to only control that source.

The two SUM outputs will flash any IR command that is sent from

any of the zones. This is used to connect the NuVo T2 Tuner,

which has a single IR direct input to control both tuners to the

Essentia System or an IR blaster designed to flash IR commands

to a variety of components. This is done by plugging a single

mono 1/8” patch cable into the SUM IR output and into the Direct

IR input.

VIII. Expanding Essentia to 12 Zones

Six additional listening zones can be added to the Essentia

System using the Essentia Expander package. The expansion is

easily done using the Audio Link and Digital Link multi-pin

outputs on the Essentia main amplifier. The necessary cables for

this are supplied with the Expander package. The other necessary

connections are the additional six speaker terminations and a

short CAT5 jumper between the Expander EZ Port and the Main EZ

Port, fig. 7. The CAT5 cables and speaker wires from zones 7-12

are terminated at the back of the Expander EZ Port in the same

manner as the termination for the Main system, see fig. 3 page

IX. Installing the Essentia Keypads

You are now ready to install the keypads and complete the

Essentia installation. This is easily done using a rotary switch

located on the back of the keypad to set a specific zone address

for each keypad, Fig. 8.

The switch requires the use of a small flat screwdriver and is set

by turning the arrow insert on the switch to the appropriate zone

number. Zones 1-12 are set by using switch positions 1-C (note

that zones 10, 11 and 12 are denoted by A, B and C respectively).

Switch positions D, E, F and 0 are for additional keypads in zones

1-4.

It is important to note that the keypads will not function properly

unless each has its own unique zone address.

Once each keypad’s zone address is set, the CAT5 can be plugged

in and the keypad installed in the wall.

EQ Control and Source Grouping

To change bass response, press the Mute button and Source 1

button simultaneously. Adjust the bass level up or down by using

the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons. The volume indicator

LEDs will indicate the output level, fig. 10. Adjust treble

response using the same process. This is accessed by pressing

the Mute and Source 2 buttons. Once the desired setting is made,

press the Source button again to return the keypad to normal

operation.

Source grouping is a feature that allows multiple zones in an

open living space to always share the same source selection but

still retain individual volume and on/off control. This is achieved

by pressing Mute and Source 3. Volume Up enables the group

function, and Volume Down disables the group function and

causes the keypad to operate independently of all other groups,

fig. 11.

Each Essentia keypad has the ability to set specific zone

functions. These are bass and treble EQ, source grouping, all on

(party mode) and volume reset. Each of these functions is

accessed by pressing the MUTE and SOURCE 1-5 buttons

simultaneously, fig. 9.

While the keypad is in the function set mode, the appropriate

source button will flash. To return to normal zone control, press

the flashing source button.

All On/Master Mode

The Essentia System has an All On feature. Any keypad within the

system, which can be up to twelve zones, has the ability to

become a master control for the entire house. The master keypad

will control zone on, volume level, and source selection for all

other zones.

To place a keypad in Master Mode function, simply press the

Mute and Source 4 buttons simultaneously. This will cause the

volume indicator LED for that zone s keypad to flash

continuously and adjust to a preset volume level (-60 dB). All

other zones will then turn on to the same relative volume level

and increase or decrease with the volume adjustment on the

master keypad, fig. 12. Each keypad volume LED indicates a

preset meter level threshold, fig. 13.

Any of the other zone keypads have the ability to override the

master function by selecting a new source, changing a local

zone s volume control, or by turning a local zone s keypad off and

back on.

The Master Mode is turned off by repeating the sequence of

pressing the Mute and Source 4 buttons.

Volume Reset

Each zone has the capability of turning on at two different

volume level settings. At factory default the zone will turn on at

the previous listening level. If desired, you can change that

default to a low level volume reset regardless of the previous

level.

To change the zone to volume reset mode, press the Mute and

Source 5 buttons simultaneously. The Source 5 button will begin

flashing. The volume LED will first appear at the far left

indicating no volume reset. Pushing the Volume Up button will

cause the volume LED to move to the far right position. This now

indicates that the zone is in volume reset mode, fig. 14.

To return to normal keypad operation, press the Source 5 button

again and it will stop flashing. In the volume reset mode the zone

will automatically turn on at a preset -60 dB level. The volume

reset can be turned off by repeating the above steps and

returning the volume LED to the far left position.

XI. Using the Fixed and Variable Lineouts

Each zone of the Essentia amplifier has two 3.5mm mini stereo outputs. These are fixed and variable lineouts used for adding additional

amplification when necessary for each zone. A distinct advantage to the NuVo equipment is the ability to use the amplified output,

variable and fixed lineouts all simultaneously on all zones. The Essentia amplifier has zone trigger outputs that provide a 12V trigger for

additional amplification. This enables the attached amplifier to be triggered on and off with the zone keypad.

Zone Variable Lineout

The variable lineout is designed to allow additional audio amplification volume level to be controlled from that zone’s keypad. When

used in conjunction with the zone amplified output, fig. 15, all the speaker’s volume will track with the keypad volume level.

Zone Fixed Lineout

In some zone applications, it is more advantageous to have a separate volume control on the additional speakers being driven by an

additional amplifier. This is common with outdoor zones. The fixed lineout offers the capability to add amplification, but the audio signal

is not affected by the zone keypad volume level. Therefore, it requires a separate volume control for those speakers, fig. 16.

XII. The NV-LRC1 IR Remote Control

The Essentia System comes with the NV-LRC1 Learning Remote Control. This remote allows wireless control of all keypad functions, as

well as the functions of the audio source equipment. Each NuVo zone keypad has an IR receiver that captures the specific source

commands from any remote control and in turn sends the command ultimately to the appropriate source equipment. Embedded IR code

libraries makes use of the LRC1 with a large variety of audio and video equipment easy. For complete setup and functionality refer to the

User Guide included with the remote control. Additional remote controls are available from NuVo.

XIII. NV-MI1 Mute Interface Adapter

The Mute Interface is used in conjunction with System Mute input in the back of the Essentia amplifier. It acts as a relay for a voltage

from up to two phone lines and two doorbell transformers. When a voltage is presented to the MI1 it then sends a contact closure to the

Essentia System, which in turn causes the system to mute momentarily. This is useful in allowing the telephone ring or doorbell to be

heard when audio is playing in any of the zones, Fig. 17.

The MI1 connects to the NuVo amplifier using a standard

mono patch cable with a mini-plug on each end. Plug one

end into the EXT. MUTE input on the back of the

amplifier and the other end into the input on the front of

the Mi1.

The back of the MI1 will accept up to two AC or

DC voltages from two different doorbell chimes.

This connection is done with a two conductor

wire from the terminals on the doorbell chime to

the Doorbell A or Doorbell B inputs on the back

of the MI1. Polarity is not important for this

connection.

Up to two phone lines can be brought into

the RJ-11 connection on the back of the MI1.

The voltage from the phone ringer will

trigger the NuVo System to mute.

XIV. NV-LSA40 Local Source Amplifier

The LSA40 is 40 watt accessary amplifier that allows any line-level audio signal local to a zone to be amplified through that zone’s

speakers. It is designed to be used universally in a variety of applications, but as shown in fig. 18, it can be triggered on and off by any

zone keypad. When connected to the keypad, the user will listen to the NuVo audio system when the zone is turned on. When the zone is

off the LSA40 will automatically amplify any incoming local audio signal.
