Both selectors offer the security of ADCOM's unique Minimum Impedance Protection a design that fully protects your amplifier from almost any problem it might encounter when asked to simultaneously drive multiple pairs of speakers. Minimum Impedance Protection does so without compromising the basic performance of your sound system. How very like ADCOM. And how very unlike the competition.
The inspiration for this innovation comes from ADCOM's long experience and substantial success in producing high performance, high fidelity power amplifiers. Part of the knowledge gained over the years is an intimate familiarity with the demands loud speakers place on any amplifier and the magnified demands created by a multiplicity of speakers. Our design goal quickly became to not only deliver sound to multiple speakers, but to maintain the signal's sound quality as more speakers are added.
ADCOM's user-selectable Minimum Impedance Protection circuit on both GFS-3 and GFS-6 Speaker Selectors ensures accurate and musically pleasing sound regardless of how many pairs of speakers you may want to drive simultaneously. This "security system" inserts massive protective resistors between your amplifier and speakers to ensure that the load impedance is always within your amplifier's safe operating range. This low impedance protection enables your amplifier to drive several speaker systems simultaneously without activating the amplifier's or receiver's protection circuits or causing the amplifier to shut down.
In addition to Minimum Impedance Protection, both the GFS-3 and the GFS-6 feature wide contact, heavy duty switches capable of handling the full output of even a 200 watt per channel amplifier. High quality circuit boards with wide signal traces contribute to minimal power loss. Each speaker selector is easy to connect with twist-lock input and output terminals which ensure positive contact with both speaker and amplifier cables and prevent accidental disconnection.
The GFS-3 and the GFS-6 Speaker Selectors are wired between your amplifier's outputs and your loudspeakers. The GFS-3 accommodates up to three pairs of speakers while the GFS-6 will permit you to use up to six pairs. Expend the versatility of your audio system with ADCOM Speaker Selectors.
And see and hear the difference even the smallest details can make.
Almost everyone loves music, but not everyone loves the same music. ADCOM has solved this dilemma with the GFB-800II, an innovative approach in a centralized, remote controlled music system.
Now, with the ADCOM GFB-800II Music Control System, you can have individual, remote control of up to five different audio sources, CD player(s), FM/AM-tuner(s), cassette deck(s), or any source component in two or more rooms all at the same time. And when used with ADCOM power amplifiers, the GFB-800II delivers the kind of world class sound quality usually reserved for stand alone component systems.
Upon entering a room, you turn on the music control center regardless of where it is located using a wireless remote control or an optional keypad and then select and control any of your source components, as well as adjust the volume level in that room. For example, if you are using the ADCOM GCD-700 CD player in the system, you may select and listen to any of the five discs and operate any of its functions as if you were in the room with the main system. Likewise, you can tune up and down the FM or AM or choose a preset station from a tuner's memory using a remote controlled FM/AM tuner.
Simply, one person can listen to their favorite FM station in one room, while another listens to a CD in a different room, and still another may listen to a cassette tape or even a second CD player in yet another room. And each person can set the volume level in their particular room. And since the ADCOM remote sensors have a repeater system built in, almost any infrared remote component can be used and controlled within this system.
Up to three GFB-800IIs can be daisy-chained, meaning they can be hooked together to accommodate larger installations. Two GFB-800IIs with the appropriate remote sensors and power amplifiers, can, for example, provide sound in up to 10 different rooms or zones and three GFB-800IIs will provide individually controlled music in up to 15 different rooms or zones.
If music plays an important part in your home, or if you would like it to, visit your ADCOM dealer and find out how the GFB-800II will let everyone in your home march to the beat of a different drummer.
