Hard to believe, but we
make this product in the USA. We are very proud of that fact.
What is more important to you is the care we craft in at every
step and the extensive knowledge we have in all aspects of the
product. Plus, we back this up with a five year warranty.
Really Cool Stuff in The Director
As great as these features on the previous page are, here is
a list of some of the new and unique parts of The Director;

Ever wonder if there really was
a signal on the speaker outputs of an amp? No wondering
with The Director because there is an LED flickering with
the signal level right next to each speaker connector.

When The Director is
in Standby ready to turn on via a trigger it draws less than 5
watts. Compare that to a typical amplifier.

Use the browser to type in any name
on the zone. Also name the amplifier so that you can easily
identify it when there is more than one in the system.

Here is a legal and safe way to
combat 60 cycle hum. If the flip of this switch solves the prob-
lem, maybe you can get home earlier tonight.

Every multi-zone amp has trig-
ger ins. The Director has regular trigger ins, plus triggering
via the Ethernet, and it has mini-jack 12 volt trigger outs for
turning on another component or two.

We think the front panel level
display is way cool, pretty, and useful. However, if you want to
turn it off, we have provided a switch to do so.

:
Look at the rear of The
Director and we forgive you if you think of Times Square
in New York City. There are indicator LEDs aplenty. Not
only for the speaker outputs but also for signal sense, mono
switching, local input active, and ethernet bypass. On the rear
panel there are 30 indicator LEDs in total (that is not a typo).
Counting the front panel indicator LEDs, the total is 66! If we
can make your system setup faster, we want to.
