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.

Grand Concerto Back Panel

1. Variable Lineouts: These preamp lineouts are used for sending an audio signal to an external power amplifier. This is useful

for large areas that require additional pairs of speakers. Use the variable output when you want the additional amplifier to be

controlled by the zone's Display Pad.

2. Fixed Lineouts: These preamp lineouts are used for sending an audio signal to an external power amplifier when additional

speakers are needed. This output is constant, so an amplifier connected to it will not change volume with that zone's Display

Pad.

3. Source Inputs: The Grand Concerto will accept up to six audio sources. These are connected to the Grand Concerto amplifier

with standard stereo RCA cables.

4. Speaker Output: Six of the Grand Concerto's eight zones are amplified. These outputs accept 16-gage, two-conductor speaker

wire and provide 40 watts per channel of power.

5. Source Link: This connection is used in conjunction with the Grand Concerto Expander System to create 16 total zones. The

source link cable is supplied with the Expander System.

6. Source Status Inputs: These optional inputs can be used to monitor source power status. This is useful when using a macro

string of commands to prevent turning off a piece of equipment that is already on and vice versa.

7. Zone Trigger Outputs: These 12-volt outputs can be used to trigger an external device, such as an auxiliary power amplifier, for

use in a specific zone.

8. IR Emitter Outputs: IR signals received from the keypads are passed through the IR outputs to the source equipment using the

Installing the Grand Concerto System in Your Home

I. Prewire

The Grand Concerto 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 Grand Concerto 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 Grand Concerto 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.

7. Test each termination with a CAT5 Tester before

completing the installation.

II. Terminating the Speaker Wire (fig. 2)

All the NuVo systems operate across a “homerun”-wiring

scheme using Cat-5 for the zone keypad control

communication, and a separate run of speaker wire for each

zone from the speaker outputs to the zone speakers. We

suggest 16-gage 2- or 4-conductor speaker wires.

The speaker wire termination is done using a modular “Euro”

connector. Each conductor is screwed down to the connector

block and plugged into the appropriate speaker output on

the back of the amplifier. The proper termination is Left

channel: – and +; Right channel: – and +.

Fig. 2

III. Installing the Grand Concerto 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 depressed before proceeding with

the rest of the installation. This activates the internal

protective circuitry of the Grand Concerto System.

IV. Installing the NV-I8GEZP EZ Port (fig.3)

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

the Cat-5 wires from the keypads in the system. The location

of the EZ Port should be determined by the location of the

Grand Concerto amplifier. It is best to place in a wall behind

the amplifier that would be easily accessible if necessary.

The EZ Port fits easily in any dual-gang-size, low-voltage

ring with an open back. These are often referred to as “mud

rings.” Simply plug the terminated Cat-5 wires into any of

the 20 available jacks on the back of the EZ Port. The order in

which the individual Cat-5 wires are plugged in is not

important, although it is strongly recommended that you

label the Cat-5 with the appropriate zone number for future

reference.

Once you have plugged the Cat-5 wires into the EZ Port,

screw the EZ port into its construction bracket using the

supplied mounting screws.

V. Connecting the EZ Port to the Grand Concerto Amplifier

(fig. 4)

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

should be the faceplate and four RJ45 jacks. The supplied

pre-terminated network cable can then be plugged into one

of the six available jacks and into the Network connection on

the back of the Grand Concerto Amplifier. Any Cat-5 cable

terminated using 568A or 568B network wiring will suffice

should you need a longer connection. Remember, it is

important to terminate the cable the same way on both

ends.

Fig. 4

VI. Attaching Audio Source Equipment to the Grand Concerto

Amplifier (fig. 5)

Each piece of audio equipment is connected to the Grand

Concerto amplifier with standard stereo RCA cables. Attach

an RCA cable to the corresponding audio output on the

source equipment and to the desired source input on the

back of the Grand Concerto amplifier. The numbered input

for each source is important in the configuration of the

system. This will be covered in detail in the Grand Concerto

Configurator portion of this manual.

Fig. 5

Attaching the NuVo T2 Tuners and M3 Server

X. Grand Concerto

Configurator Software.

A feature of the Grand Concerto System is its ability to

automatically communicate with the T2 AM/FM and Satellite

Tuners and the M3 Audio Server. The communication

happens through the EZ Port connection hub, across a

communication protocol called NuVoNet. Although software

programming is not necessary for this function, configuring

the installation through the Configurator Software prior to

installation has distinct advantages, see

When the T2 Tuners or M3 Server are plugged in for the first

time, they will display a prompt to select a source input

number for the Grand Concerto. For NuVoNet to

communicate properly, you should have already connected

the NuVoNet components to one of the six “Peripheral

Device” inputs on the face of the EZ Port.

Selecting the appropriate Concerto source input is

accomplished by turning the Select knob for each tuner

counter-clockwise until the desired source input number is

highlighted. It is selected by pushing the Select knob. Once

this is done, the Grand Concerto NuVoNet will recognize that

source.

for the remaining two channels.

VII. Connecting the IR Emitters for Third-Party Source

Components (fig. 6)

IR commands for the source equipment are transferred from

the Grand Concerto amplifier to the source equipment using

the mini IR mouse emitters. Six of these are supplied with

your Grand Concerto System. The emitter is plugged into the

corresponding source IR output on the Grand Concerto and

then placed over the IR receiver window on the source

component. The IR outputs are individually routed to

sources 1-6.

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

from any of the zones. This is most commonly used with an

IR blaster designed to flash IR commands to a variety of

components.

Fig. 6

VIII. Source Status Inputs (fig. 7)

The source status inputs can be very useful for monitoring

the power status of your audio sources. Some equipment

uses “toggling commands” for powering on and off (that is,

the commands for on and off are not separate, discrete

commands). This situation is typically confusing when using

a single button to initiate to a piece of source equipment a

string of commands that includes power on. With “toggling”

equipment, if the unit is already on, moving the button will

inadvertently turn it off. The source status inputs give the

Grand Concerto System the ability to sense that the source

equipment is on so it can automatically bypass that

command.

Fig. 7

Using these inputs requires an AC power-sensing module.

These are readily available from electronic accessory

manufacturers and typically attach to the AC power cord of

the desired source equipment. The connection at the back of

the Grand Concerto is a mono 1/8” jack. Once this is in place,

the Grand Concerto System will sense the amount of AC

current being drawn by the source equipment.

IX. Expanding Grand Concerto to 16 Zones (fig. 8)

Eight additional listening zones can be added to the Grand

Concerto System using the Grand Concerto Expander

package. The expansion is easily done using the Source Link

and Digital Link multi-pin outputs on the Grand Concerto

main amplifier (NV-I8DMS).

The necessary cables for this are supplied with the Expander

package. No other connections are necessary except the AC

power cord and the additional speaker terminations. The

additional Cat-5 wires for the zones 9-16 plug into the

Grand Concerto main EZ Port.

Fig. 8

X. Using the Grand Concerto Configurator Software

The following section requires the NV-I8DLS IR Learning

Station and Configurator Software. This is available as a

package from NuVo Technologies or any Authorized NuVo

Distributor. The Configurator software is a PC program

designed to run with Windows 2000, XP, and XP Pro.

1. Main Startup

The Configurator is a tabbed Wizard-style interface

designed to sequentially walk the installer through the

system setup. When the program is launched, the Start tab

is highlighted. This gives three choices for beginning a

configuration. You can create a new file, open an existing

file, or retrieve an existing file from a configured Grand

Concerto System. Once configured, the finished program

loaded into the Grand Concerto main amplifier can always be

retrieved via the RS232 port and edited.

Once a configuration file has been opened, you can then

click on the next button to continue. The Configurator will

not let you continue beyond Start without either creating a

new file or opening an existing file. It will also prevent

moving forward through any of the tabs until the necessary

information is completed in any one of the tabs.

1.1 Open or Create Grand Concerto Configurator File

When you click on this button, the program goes to a Config.

File. There you can either open one of the existing

configurations or specify the name of a new file.

Configurations are saved with a .cfg extension.

1.1 Retrieve Configuration from Grand Concerto

To retrieve a configuration from an existing Grand Concerto

installation, launch the Configurator software. Make sure

your computer is connected to the RS232 port on the back

panel of the Grand Concerto amplifier. The Startup screen

has two buttons. The first is used to open an existing

configuration or to create a new one. The second asks to

“Retrieve Existing Configuration From Grand Concerto.”

When you click on the “Retrieve” button, a progress window

will appear.

If you have this configuration already stored on your

computer's hard drive, you will see a dialog box asking if

you wish to overwrite the existing file. If this file is not

stored in your computer, this box will not appear.

1.1 Open or Create Grand Concerto Configurator

File

2.1 IR Libraries

The IR Library is a list of available components and their IR

function codes. The Configurator software stores captured IR

codes in a single directory. Once captured or downloaded,

the Configurator software will permanently store it as an .irc

file.

2.1 IR Libraries

2.2 Adding a New Component to the IR Library

New component IR files are easily added by clicking on the

Add New button. This brings up a new window titled Add New

Component. In this window you must first enter the

manufacturer name and model. The Type drop-down menu

contains a large list of components. Each is a template of

common functions for that type of equipment. Clicking on

the type that matches the component will add the type name

in that field. If desired, you can add a type name that is not

in the drop-down menu.

Clicking on OK will automatically add the selected

component and associated functions to the IR Library.

Using the IR Learning Station Interface (fig. 9)

To record new IR codes, you will need the IR Learning Station

Interface. The IR Learning Station Interface is a powerful

tool for setting up new IR Libraries for use with the

Configurator Software, and is part of the IR Learning Station

Package. Capturing function codes and adding them to the

component IR Library is an easy process.

The Interface box is connected to your computer using one

of the RS232 connection cables provided with the IR

Learning Station package. Note that in many cases, personal

notebook computers do not have aDB9 serial cable. In this

case an RS232 to USB dongle cable will be necessary.

The back panel of the Interface box has two IR outputs for

testing purposes. You can use the included IR emitter and

attach it to the IR window on the face of the source

component, or to the built-in IR blaster, which, when aimed

at the source equipment, will fire the IR command.

2.3 Recording IR codes

When a new component is added to the IR Library, it is

necessary to record the IR codes associated with each

function. To do this, connect the Learning Station Interface

as described above. Double-click on the desired component

from the IR Library page. This will open the IR Library Editor.

This window lists the complete set of functions for that type

of device.

To initiate the IR recording process, you can either double-

click on a function to be recorded or highlight the function

and click on the Record button. This will open the IR Library

Record window. The window will indicate that the

Configurator is “Waiting for IR Communications.” To record a

new code, simply point the component's remote control at

the IR receiver on the NuVo IR Learning Station Interface.

The first time you enter a code, the Configurator determines

if it is a “toggling function,” which means that the remote

actually sends two commands back-to-back. This requires

that the function button be pressed four times in

succession.

When the remote code is entered, the IR Library Record

window will go from yellow to green and indicate that the

capture was successful, and it will then return to yellow.

Repeat this procedure three more times until the desired

code is added to the IR Library Edit window. You will now see

the number of code repeats and the duration of the code. A

normal non-toggling remote will require two button pushes

to successfully record a command, while a toggling remote

will require four button pushes for each command.

If there is an error in recording the code, the display in the

Record window will indicate that there was a communication

error. If this occurs, click on the Record button and reenter

the code.

2.3 Recoding IR Codes

2.4 IR Library Default Key Assignment

Once the desired codes are added, assign them to the

appropriate key on the Display Pad. To do this, right-click on

each code and select “Keys.” This opens a drop-down menu

of the possible key selections for the Grand Concerto

Display Pad. Select the appropriate key for that command

and the Configurator will add it to the Default Key field for

that command. Keep in mind that the Grand Concerto Control

Pad has only five IR assignable buttons, so button control is

limited. More capability for control can be incorporated in

the macro tab covered later, and can then be added to the

menu capability of that source.

Once this sequence is completed, proceed to the next

function command, and repeat the above steps. When you

have assigned a default key for each IR, click on “Done” and

that component's IR Library is complete.

2.4 Library Default Key Assignment

2.5 IR Library Test

An important feature of the Grand Concerto Configurator is

the ability to test each IR code as it is added to the IR

Library. This insures that every code will work reliably.

When a new code is added, while it is still highlighted, click

on the test button. This will open the IR Library Test window.

Make sure that the IR Learning Interface box's IR emitter is

either facing the IR receiver window of the source

equipment or an IR emitter is plugged into one of the two IR

emitter outputs and affixed to the IR receiver window of the

source equipment. Clicking on the test button will cause the

IR Learning interface to emit the code. The source

equipment should respond appropriately to the command if

it has been stored correctly. A test result box will open

where you can record yes or no to the test. Three successful

test results are required before the “Passed” count turns

green. Clicking the “OK” button will save the results in the

IR Library. The “Tested” column for that command will show

the number of successful tests performed.

Although not required, testing each code is highly

recommended.

2.5 IR Library Test

2.6 Adding a Function Code

If a required IR code is not in the list of codes, it is possible

to add a code to the list by clicking the “Create New” button.

The pull-down menu contains a list of all standard IR codes.

A name not found in the list can be typed in, but it is

recommended that you use the names provided in the list.

This conserves memory in the Grand Concerto. Clicking on

the “OK” button proceeds directly to the IR recording

process.

2.6 Adding a Function Code

2.7 Cleaning Up an IR Library

Unused IR codes can be deleted from the list by highlighting

the code and either clicking the ”Delete” button or right-

clicking and selecting “Delete.”

When you are finished editing the library, select “Done.”

3. Defining Sources

The “Sources” tab allows you to define the source

component attached to each of the six source inputs. All six

sources are not needed, but at least one source must be

defined.

3.1 Select or Edit Source

Double-clicking on a blank source will open the “Select

Source” window. This window assigns the appropriate source

number input. The “Display Name” is the text that will be

read on the Display Pad when that source is selected in any

zone. The display name can contain only capital letters,

numbers, and some punctuation. If an invalid key is typed, it

will be ignored.

The “Make” field defines the manufacturer of the

equipment. A drop-down menu allows you to choose a

source from the IR Library. The “Model” field provides a

drop-down menu that allows you to choose the specific

piece of source equipment from the selected manufacturer.

An important feature of the “Select Source” window is the

“Gain” level control. Different pieces of source equipment

tend to have different levels of audio output signal. This

slider control allows you to compensate for equipment that

has an inherently lower volume level. By using this

adjustment, when switching between sources, relative

volume levels remain constant.

When the appropriate information has been completed, click

“OK.” This will add the updated source information to the

“Source” window. When all the desired sources have been

defined, go to “Next” and proceed to the “Macros” setup.

3.1 Select or Edit Source

4. Macros

Each source defined in the “Source” step has a separate

Control Pad definition. The “Source to View” pull-down

menu provides the display name given to each source. Using

the “Next” and “Back” buttons will automatically cycle

through all defined sources.

An important feature of the NuVoNet Suite is the

communication with each Control Pad within the installation,

which eliminates the need for Macro Definitions. However, if

you do want to create specific strings of IR commands or use

the IR libraries of third-party source equipment to setup

functions within that source's Menu on the Control Pads, this

is the place to do that.

If the component had default keys defined in the IR Library,

single IR code macros will be automatically created for each

key. Hovering the mouse over each key in the Display Pad

picture on the left side of the screen will bring up a tool-tip

displaying the name of the macro assigned to that key.

Clicking on the key highlights the macro on the right side of

the screen.

Double-clicking on a key in either display will begin editing

the macro associated with that key.

4. Macros

4.1 Edit Macro Definition

The Macro Definition window has two separate points of

definition on the right side of the screen. The

top section allows a string of commands to be associate

with one of the five IR programmable buttons.

The bottom section automatically places the commands I

the menu selections at the Control Pads.

Examples of this use would be specific disc selection on a

multi-disc changer or specific station tuning

for satellite or cable receiver boxes.

The tree in the left-hand window displays all available IR

codes from the library. The tree is automatically expanded to

show the codes from the component associated with the

source.

Each macro has a “Display Name” that is used to describe

the macro. Before a macro can be saved, the name of the

macro must be established.

4.1 Edit Macro Definitions

4.1.1 Adding Codes to a Macro

A code is added to the macro by double-clicking on the

green IR code name in the library to the left. That code will

then be automatically added to the macro string to the right.

Up to 100 codes can be added to a single macro.

4.1.2 Editing Codes in a Macro

Double-clicking on a macro step on the right side will open

an “Edit Macro Code Settings” window. This allows you to

change the delay time before the command is issued. The

default delay is .25 seconds. This can be increased by .25-

second increments up to 30.5 seconds. Often a command

requires mechanical movement in the source equipment

and, therefore, the delay is important before initiating the

next command.

The number of repeats for each command can also be

changed. This is equivalent to pushing and holding the

button on the remote control.

4.1.1 Adding Codes to a Macro

4.1.2 Editing Codes in a Macro

Re-Ordering Macro Codes

After a code is added to a macro, highlighting a code and

pushing the Ý or ß button can reorder the codes.

Macros (updated)

After editing a macro, the macro list is updated to show the

number of IR codes and the display name.

Note that the Macro tab has an additional button at the

bottom that says “Update Macros From Library.” If codes

were edited in any way in an IR library after a source has

been defined in the Source tab, this button will

automatically pull those changes into the Macro Definition

window.

5. Zones

Up to 20 zones can be defined with the Grand Concerto. Each

zone can be defined with unique properties.

You will notice that the zone tab contains 20 entries for zone

Display Pads. The system can accommodate a total of 20

Display Pads by using the slave function in the “Edit Zone

Properties” window. A slave Display Pad is homerun to the

EZ Port, but automatically shares the same functions and

works in tandem with the main zone Display Pad. Up to three

slave Display Pads can operate on a single zone.

5.1 Edit Zone Properties

Double-clicking on a zone number opens the “Edit Zone

Properties” window. Specific properties defining that zone

are set here.

Max Volume: This allows the volume in a zone to be limited.

This can be done either to avoid damage to low-power

speakers or simply to prevent a certain room from being

turned up too high (e.g., a teenager's bedroom).

Party Volume: This controls the reset volume level for each

zone when the All On/Party Mode is initiated from any of the

Control Pads. The range is –78dB to –30dB.

Page Volume: If you are using the paging feature of the

Grand Concerto System, you can also set the specific volume

level of the page zone by zone, by using this volume control.

The range is –78dB to –30dB, with a default at –40dB.

Balance: The level of output to the left and right speakers is

adjusted here. The default is center, but depending on the

location of the speakers and the optimal listening area of

the room, it may be advantageous to adjust the balance to

either the left or the right.

Bass and Treble: Each of these EQ levels can be adjusted

individually. The range is -18dB to +18dB.

Volume Reset at Zone ON: A zone-specific feature is the

ability to have a zone automatically reset to a low volume

level when the zone is turned on. This check box initiates

that feature and is tied to the Zone Reset Volume level set

above it. If this box is not checked, the zone will turn on at

the last volume level.

Loudness Compensation ON: This box defaults to checked and

enables an automatic bass and treble boost when the zone is

at a low listening level. This EQ gradually flattens out as the

zone volume is increased. Unchecking the box turns this

function off.

Exclusive Source Control: Checking this box gives this zone

exclusive “do not disturb” control of any chosen source.

Other zones will have the ability to listen to that source, but

they will not have any specific function control.

Source Grouping: This allows for one zone to automatically

listen to the same source as all other zones in the group. This

is a very useful feature for a large open area where it is not

practical for more than one source to be playing at one time.

The advantage of the zone group is that each Display Pad

within the group has the ability to turn on or off, mute, and

control volume independently. This drop-down menu allows

any zone to be assigned to a group, or as an individual zone

with no group affiliation. Up to four distinct groups can be

created.

IR Pass-through: Each zone Control Pad has an IR receiver

for wireless remote control. By its nature, IR is susceptible

to external interference. To account for this, there is specific

IR pass-through settings for each Control Pad. IR Disabled

turns off the IR receiver completely and eliminates any

possibility of a competing light source. This is useful in an

environment in which the Control Pad receiver is competing

with overwhelming sunlight. This will prevent IR

communication throughout the system and therefore, it is

better to eliminate that light source. IR No Pass-through

prevents third-party remote control commands from being

accepted, but still allows the NuVo NV-I8GRC1 remote

control to operate the system. In some zones this is

necessary when a third-party remote is often used to control

a non–NuVo System source such as a TV. This would eliminate

that remote control's commands from being received by the

Control Pad and passed through to the source equipment.

Lock Zone By Default: This check box turns on a function that

automatically prevents any functionality from the zone until

the assigned security code is entered. Primarily, the

function prevents an outside zone from being turned on

except when the homeowner really wants to listen to it.

Do-Not-Disturb: This Section is used to lock out system-

wide commands from a specific zone.

No Master: Master and Party refer to the ability to turn all

zones on simultaneously. In some zones you may not want

this function.

No Page: The Grand Concerto System is capable of paging

through audio source input 6. This involves a phone system

that has a paging audio output and a means to provide a

voltage trigger. This is controlled using the Security tab to

set the voltage trigger and utilizing the Mute Input, see

Mute Input page, . This will be covered in the next tab.
