The Audio Authority Model AVX-562 has
been replaced by the model AVM-562. Please click here to see the new product page.
The following is presented for information purposes only:
This is Audio Authority's AVAtrix 2.0 Cat 5 HD Matrix, Model AVX-562 Whole-House Routing System w/ Component Video. In
this Second Generation system design, Audio Authority
has integrated the previously separate AVX-561-NR, 1176
Matrix Expander, and 1108 IR Router units into a single,
slim, 2-U form factor cabinet. The AVX-562 and all
Second Generation expansion modules are finished in
black.
As before, Audio Authority has combined their highly-respected electronic switching technology with a CAT-5 distribution system to create an amazingly flexible routing system. The system makes it simple to distribute high-definition component video at up to 1080p, as well as digital audio, stereo audio, and IR. Any
of the monitors can select between any of the six sources! Watch and listen to the same source at all remote locations, or watch/listen to any mix of the six sources at each remote location. If that is not enough, the system can be expanded to handle up to 36 wallplates by stacking additional Model 1176 six-port Cat-5 Matrix Router Expanders.
The standard AVX-562 system comes with a 4-port bus
cable, which can accommodate system expansion to as many
as 18 ports. If you plan to expand the system
beyond 18 ports, we also offer the model AVX-562E, which
comes standard with a 7-port bus cable The
AVX-562E model is among the options shown below.
The system provides an IR pathway from each remote wallplate, making it possible to control the system from multiple locations. In addition, there is also support for a local monitor/audio.
The CAT-5 driver system can transmit video and audio up to 1000 feet without any frequency roll-off or signal attenuation, so colors and details are faithfully preserved for your maximum enjoyment.
Receiver units for the Model AVX-562 are sold separately - you can select the exact
combination of receiver styles that you prefer below.
Like most Audio Authority products, the Model AVX-562 comes with a one year limited warranty from the manufacturer.

to watch TV, connect the wallplates, and select
what you'd like to watch. It keeps electronic
clutter out of sight while delivering pristine
high definition anywhere you want it. Note:
While the AVAtrix is ideal for new construction
or an existing home, it does require special
knowledge and tools to install. We suggest you

coaxial cable runs plus provide an IR pathway
for source control. Balanced line technology
allows for superior noise rejection and
excellent picture quality. The AVX-562 is
perfectly suited for home use, restaurant HDTV
distribution, digital signage, even retail
demonstrations of HDTV and home theater.

IR Router
The AVAtrix includes an IR
routing system that is unique in the industry.
The new AVX-562 offers individual IR outputs for
each source. This routing system allows IR
signals returned from a wallplate to control
only the source currently routed to that zone.
This design is vital for installations including
multiple cable or satellite receivers of the
same brand. The AVAtrix also includes a Main IR
Output for all signals returned from the remote
zones.
