Audio Authority AVM-71 SixDrive

Single-Source 1x6 Cat-5 Distribution System with 6 Wallplates / HD Component Video / Digital and Analog Audio

This Audio Authority AMV-71 SixDrive system 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, this modular system can be easily expanded to accommodate as many as 42 locations!

The SixDrive system delivers pristine HDTV video at resolutions up to 1080p, as well as full bandwidth analog stereo audio and multi-channel digital audio.  The AVM-71 even includes a return pathway for IR control.  The unit and expansion modules can be rack-mounted to form an elegant (and rather large) distribution system.  Please read Audio Authority's description (below), and take a look at the user manual for more details.

Like most Audio Authority products, the model AVM-71 comes with a one year limited warranty from the manufacturer.

Audio Authority's Description

The SixDrive 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. The Model 1171 Cat 5 MultiDriver distributes HDTV signals to Model 9879 Wallplates up to 1,000 feet from the source.

One input, six Cat 5 Wallplate outputs (Wallplates included)

  • Up to 1080p component video (YPbPr)
  • Coaxial digital and stereo analog audio
  • Infrared remote jack for IR pathway
  • Wallplate powered through Cat 5 cable
  • Antenna pass-through jack
  • Rack ears available (Model 1191)

To Add More Outputs to an AVM-71 SixDrive System
Up to 42 outputs can be obtained from a single system. Adding an 802-567 (up to 18 additional outputs) or 802-568 (up to 36 additional outputs) system bus cable, and Model 1170 Cat 5 Multidriver Expanders increases the outputs in groups of six. Additional Cat 5 receivers are required as needed.

The Wallplate
Wallplates are easy to install in a standard dual-gang electrical box. Two Cat 5 cables deliver component video, digital audio and analog audio to each Wallplate. The 9879 Wallplate also includes a pass-through jack for Antenna connections (coaxial cable for antenna jack functionality must be added separately). 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.

Premium Quality Signal at Any Distance
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 AVM-71 provides reliable ground isolation, preventing hum bars and other artifacts associated with ground loops.

Expandable in Increments of Six
It's easy to expand a SixDrive. Simply add 1170 Expanders to the 1171 MultiDriver and connect additional Wallplates. Up to 42 Wallplates may be served in this way. See the PDF Installation Manual for details.

To the Home Owner
While the AVM-71 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.

Product Dimensions: 1.75 X 16.675 X 9 (H-W-D, inches)

The AVM-71 package is complete with the Model 1171 Cat-5 MultiDriver, (6) Model 9879 Decora® Wallplate Receivers, universal 100-240 volts @ 50-60 Hz AC power supply, and user manual.
