Audio Authority Model 1171BK

Cat-5 Single-Source Multidriver (black)

This Audio Authority 1171BK MultiDriver can distribute high-definition component video, as well as both analog and digital audio, to six HDTV monitors, using inexpensive CAT5-type cables.  In addition, by using the optional Model 1170BK expansion modules, this modular system can be easily expanded to accommodate as many as 48 remote locations! 

Just add your choice of  Wallplate/Receivers, such as the Model 9878 Stainless Steel, dual-gang, shallow-depth wallplate, Model 9879 single-gang DecoraŽ-style wallplate and/or the Model 9880 enclosed on-wall or in-wall Cat 5 receiver. (Receivers are not included).

The Model 1171BK delivers pristine HDTV video at resolutions up to 1080p, as well as full bandwidth analog stereo audio and multi-channel digital audio.  The Model 1171BK even includes a return pathway for IR control.  The 1171BK and optional 1170BK expansion modules can be rack-mounted to form an elegant (and rather large) distribution system.

Like most Audio Authority products, the Model 1171BK comes with a one year limited warranty from the manufacturer.

Audio Authority's Description

1:6 Cat 5 Single-Source Multidriver

Model 1171BK

Distribute HDTV signals to multiple rooms over Cat 5 cable with our Model 1171 Cat 5 HD signal distribution system. Each 1171 serves six remote locations. Resolutions up to 1080p.

One input, six Cat 5 outputs. Rack mountable with included rack ears, and expandable in increments of six.

Cat 5 Receivers are sold separately, and are required for operation (select from Models 9878, 9879, and 9880).

Model 1171 incorporates the key signal paths necessary for premium audio and video entertainment, plus an IR pathway for easy remote control of AV components. All this over just two inexpensive, easy to install, Cat 5 cables.

  • One input, six Cat 5 wallplate/receiver outputs (receivers sold separately)
  • Up to 1080p component video (YPbPr)
  • Distributes HDTV signals up to 1,000 feet from the source
  • Coaxial digital and stereo analog audio
  • Infrared remote jack for IR pathway
  • Wallplate/receivers powered through Cat 5 cable

Cat 5 Wallplate/Receiver Options

Choose from three different receiver styles: a single-gang Decora wallplate, a dual-gang stainless steel wallplate, and a breakout box. Wallplates are easy to install in a standard electrical box, while the breakout box can be mounted on any flat surface. Two Cat 5 cables deliver component video, digital audio and analog audio to each receiver. The 3.5mm IR jack provides a convenient pathway for a third party IR remote distribution network over the Cat 5 pathway. Use compatible IR receivers and emitters (see 1171 manual). IR receiver and emitter equipment not included.

See a comparison chart showing the differences between our Cat 5 receivers.

Reliable and Expandable

Our unique cable length compensation allows adjustment for the optimal signal strength at any distance up to 1,000 feet from the source. Like our commercial video distribution products, the 1171 provides reliable ground isolation, preventing hum bars and other artifacts associated with ground loops.

It's easy to expand a 1171 System to any size. Simply stack 1170BK Expanders with the 1171 MultiDriver and connect additional Wallplates. Up to 48 Wallplates may be served in this way. See the PDF Installation Manual for details.

To the Home Owner

While the 1171 is ideal for new construction or an existing home, it does require special knowledge and tools to install. We suggest you contact a local custom home installation specialist. Many installation specialists are members of the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association and can be located through the CEDIA website.
