Austin Audio Home Systems: Elan

Speakers | Matrix Audio

ELAN Home Systems has manufactured innovative multi-room audio/video systems since 1989. Their systems were the first to integrate music, intercom and television distribution features that used the homeowner’s stereos, televisions and telephones to create the entire home entertainment experience.

Elan Home Systems not only distribute music throughout the home so you can play multiple sources in multiple locations at the same time but they also distribute multiple video sources to different locations, at the same time! While you’re watching your favorite TV show or sporting event on your TV in a room, you can also hear the audio over your room speakers instead of the inferior speakers on your television.

One client of mine who loves UT said he likes to watch the game on his plasma television but likes to hear the game called by his favorite radio announcer. With Elan this is an easy thing to do.

Elan Home Systems Audio/Video Controllers come in a Good, Better, Best option. Starting with the Best, here they are:

Introducing Élan’s most powerful and flexible multi-source/multi-zone controller to date—the System12 (S12).
The S12 has inputs for 12 audio sources and a built-in 16 x 16 high-definition video switcher. Eight additional Local Source Inputs allow you to place ‘private’ audio sources in each zone (i.e. a CD player in the master bedroom).

The on-board 16 x 16 video switcher provides the ultimate in flexibility. The S12 can route up to 16 composite video sources, such as DVD players, satellite TV and VCRs, to 16 TVs or touch panels. It can also distribute up to five component video sources and handle high definition video signals for house-wide distribution.
One S12 can independently access music and video in up to eight zones. And up to four S12s can be linked together, giving system designers the flexibility they need to create the system that’s just right for your home and lifestyle – 8, 16, 24 or 32 independent listening areas.

System 8

Eight audio/video inputs allow you to choose from all your favorite music and video sources – CDs, DVDs, Satellite Radio, TV - even everything on your iPod®. Enjoy the sights and sounds of all these and more, independently, in six different rooms. Up to four controllers can be linked together, providing you with complete flexibility to create customized systems just right for your home.

System 6

The S6 is a six-source by six-zone integrated audio preamp controller and power amplifier. It allows up to six audio sources to be accessed independently by up to 12 keypads located in six separate zones. And with 12 channels of amplification at 40 watts per channel built right in, the S6 provides the kind of sound quality you’ve come to expect from ELAN.
