What is an Audio Solution?

Home Theatre / Family RoomSet up your home theatre or TV room correctly to maximise your entertainment experience. Movies will come to life with the right audio solution installation!

However your garage is set up, make sure to link this space into your audio solution design. As well as parking your car your garage may be used for multiple functions such as a workshop, home gym, home office or entertaining. Music here is a must!

Outdoor EntertainingOutdoor entertaining is one of Australia’s favourite pastimes. With the Clipsal outdoor speakers you will be able to listen to your favourite music in your outdoor living space.

Kitchen / Dining RoomPreparing the evening meal or hosting a dinner party will have more atmosphere with music playing in the background.

BedroomEveryone needs some time to themselves and in a busy family the bedroom is usually the only option. Whether you are young or old you can relax and listen to your own music your way.

Typical Applications

An Audio Solution is a cabling system that enables the user to distribute their favourite music to every room in the home with the flexibility of adding more music sources to every location. The most common application for the Clipsal Audio Solution is to distribute music from an MP3 player (e.g. iPod®) or computer based music. It’s simple, affordable and easy to install, but best of all it’s easy to use.

Audio DistributionThe flexibility of being able to listen to the radio, CDs, music DVDs, MP3 players, or any music source, is made easy with Clipsal Audio Solutions.

The Clipsal Audio Solutions range can distribute any music source that has audio RCA output ports or 3.5mm stereo mini jack ports.

3105SIMPS Stereo Input Modulewith Power SupplyThe stereo input module connects your music source to the Clipsal Audio Solutions Cabling System located at the main music source. It comes complete with a power supply that enables up to four music zones to be connected. More music zones can be added to the system by using the audio distribution junction box (pg. 8).

The stereo input module also has an IR remote control facility built in. This means that if your source can be controlled with a remote control (i.e. DVD player) then you will be able to control the audio solution through this.

Stereo Input Module with power supply 3105SIMPS

Simply connect your music source to the stereo input plate by either a 3.5mm stereo mini jack to an RCA lead or by RCA to RCA lead depending on the source output.


3105LSIM Local Stereo Input ModuleThe local stereo input module allows the connection of a local music source to the audio system. Simply plug the 3.5mm stereo mini jack into the local stereo input wall plate and the main source is disconnected and the local source takes over for that zone only.

Disconnect the 3.5mm stereo mini jack from the local stereo input wall plate and it reverts back to the main source.

It’s simple and easy to use.

The 3105LSIM comes complete with a 3.5mm to 3.5mm stereo mini jack.

The latest music trend is MP3 format music. MP3 players and downloadable music from the Internet is a fast growing business. Many people are now storing their music on computers and downloading the music to MP3 players such as iPods®.

Computers may be the preferred way to store music files but there is still a need to be able listen to music from multiple locations throughout the home without having to listen to it from monitor speakers.

The Clipsal Audio Solutions product range is a fantastic way of being able to listen to the music from the main music source or have the flexibility to be able to add your own music source in each zone, while others can listen to the main source or their local music source.

Making the Most of the Latest Trends

Local Stereo Input Module

A typical scenario for the local input wall plate is when family members want to listen to different music in different rooms. Simply take your MP3 player or other music source and connect it to the local input wall plate.

3105VCRC,WE Volume Controlwith Remote Control

Remote Control of the Source

The volume control is an 8-watt amplifier that controls music for a specific zone.

Functions include on/off, volume up and volume down. The same functions can be controlled via the remote control that is included with each volume control wall plate.

Each volume control is connected to a pair of speakers for left and right stereo sound. Only one pair of speakers can be connected to each volume control. A volume control and pair of speakers is called a zone. One remote can control all of the input modules.

With the Clipsal Audio System you can remotely control the music source, as the stereo input module has an infrared (IR) receiver built in. With the addition of an IR emitter lead (sold separately) this functionality can be added to the audio solution system at any stage after the installation has been completed.

The audio distribution junction box is used when more than four zones are required.

Up to seven zones can be connected to the audio distribution junction box. It can be connected to another 3105ADJB to expand the system where more than seven zones are required. Two power supplies are required for systems with more than four zones. The first power supply comes with the stereo input module (3105SIMPS) and a second power supply can be purchased separately (3105APS24V). The audio distribution junction box will require a star wiring method as described on page15.

Four Zones ‘Star Wired’ with Local Inputs

Up to four zones can be ‘star wired’ with a local stereo input module at each zone.

Each zone can be operated independently for ON/OFF and volume settings.

All zones can listen to the main music source or each zone can listen to their own local music source. If you require more than four zones, a ‘star wiring’ method must be used.

Four Zones ‘Star Wired’

Four zones can be ‘star wired’ to receive the main music source.

Many wiring configurations can be adapted to the Clipsal Audio Solutions System, which makes Clipsal Audio Solutions the most flexible hard-wired solution on the market.

An example of this is having two or more zones connected to a local stereo input source.

This is a common installation issue with two audio zones close together, such as an outdoor entertaining area and the main entertaining area connected by a sliding door.

If you require more than four zones on a system, a ‘star wire’ method MUST be used.
