The first truly pre-integrated system of its kind, Vibe merges award-winning
style with the power, performance and flexibility of IP-based digital audio to
create a system that delivers unparalleled control and crystal clear,
reference-quality sound to every room in the house.

What does “IP-based digital system” really mean?
First of all, it means that Vibe utilizes Internet Protocol (IP) to communicate
data (such as digital audio data) on a network to multiple locations and
devices. By using IP, Vibe components can be linked together via network
products such as routers,
switches and CAT-5e cables, making a system less
expensive to install, set up and troubleshoot. Adding new components to a Vibe
system is as easy as plugging them into the
router.
Secondly, we convert any audio signals into a digital format (PCM) and
distribute the new signal across your entire Vibe system. By digitizing the
signal, signal loss and noise—normally associated with analog wire runs that
connect a source to an amplifier—are now virtually eliminated, even if your
source and Color Touchscreen Amplifier are 1,000 feet apart.
Distributed Processing
The Vibe Audio System, like our Lighting & Control System, operates using a
distributed-processing architecture: all data and audio processing is done
within each individual component, with no central 'brain box'. This type of
design has some distinct advantages:
- Reliability. With no centralized processing component to become
a single
point of failure that could prevent your system from operating properly, a Vibe
system will continue to deliver outstanding sonic quality and total source
control all day, every day.
- Ultimate scalability. Add or subtract Vibe components from a
system by simply
plugging or unplugging them from a network
router or switch. Vibe
provides the capacity to have more than 20 Touchscreens and over 20 different
audio sources on a system.
- Flexibility. Use Vibe products to provide your audio or use our
Audio Encoder
to add consumer components onto any system.

All Vibe components are pre-integrated. They have been designed, developed and
tested to work together as a completely scalable, highly dependable system.
Whether it’s just one audio source and one Color Touchscreen Amplifier or over
20 of each, system setup is identical, making the installation process quick
and easy. Plus, the intuitive nature of a Vibe system makes learning to use it
fast and enjoyable.

Everyone knows that time is money. And today, we seem to have less and less
time. Vibe can help reclaim some of that lost time by being fast, easy, and
hassle-free during the installation process. With our simple and intuitive
software applications, customizing your Vibe system setup is a snap! And as far
as installing any Vibe hardware goes, just plug your Vibe components into a
network router
or switch and let the system do the rest.
What’s more, once a Vibe system is fully operational, its rock-solid
reliability eliminates the need for constant maintenance. The only calls
integrators will get from their customers will be to expand their systems.
- Use standard
routers or switches and CAT-5e cabling.
- Self-discovery of Vibe system components.
- Simple and intuitive software applications.

Vibe Engineers spent so many man-hours developing and testing Vibe that we
asked them to add up the time they spent working on the system. When it was
proven that over 30,000 hours had been devoted to perfecting the system and its
components, we were awestruck. When asked why so much time had been necessary,
the Vibe Engineers simply stated, “We did all the work so that our customers
didn’t have to.”
