ADA Mach 4......WOW!!!! - Page 40

post #1171 of 2078
Adam,

the problem I have that there is no any communication between the remote and the Rhapsody. On the Logitec site, they have Rhapsody Mach IV profile which I downloaded. It appears on the remute but as I said, there is no communication. I checked if IR was on the Rhapsody and is set on "ON"...So I have no idea what else to do...
post #1172 of 2078
Did you try the Suite 7.1 profile as I suggested?

Adam
post #1173 of 2078
Just to be clear I take it you have experience with the Harmony One? Just want to rule out any setup issues with Harmony.

Are you using the IR on remote or Wireless repeater and are you using IR Blaster or 'IR Wands'?

Adam, thanks for the help. I checked the settings but Harmony One is only IR remote. There actually no options, which you suggested.
I did what you suggested..installed Suite 7.1 and the remote is orking. The only thing I can't do is to switch the Rhapsody on. There is off button but no off...but for now I am happy.
The sound of Rhapsody is also improving with each viewing. So far happy camper...Thanks once again for the help.

Ah, sorry I was confusing it with other remotes...

Use the 'unmute' command to switch the ADA on

I am glad you are enjoying yourself at last!

What do you mean by not being able to switch the Rhapsody on?

I'm using an IR remote and find that there is something wrong with the POWER ON code. Sometimes it works on the first attempt but other times I have to press the ON button 4 times before it powers up. It either works the first time or requires exactly 4 attempts to POWER ON. All of the other codes work correctly.

I think the code for POWER ON is defective on the Rhapsody.

You didn't state your remote but if a Harmony you may have to adjust repeat/delay times etc. to get it working better. You have to spend a lot to get a good remote unfortunately and Harmony is pretty unreliable IMO, I have had different models and they were all very flaky or unresponsive, drove me nuts.

Nevo is a whole world apart and the codes just work, perfectly, every time.

If you can afford a Rhapsody (I can't!) there is no excuse for having a crap remote

Check out Control4, they seem to be the next big thing unless you want a tablet/iPad.

It's a URC MX-900 that ADA provided me when I bought the Mach IV. In fact, ADA programmed it. I've also tried various codes posted on the ADA site.

I did try different repeat settings but can't seem to get POWER ON to work reliably. Interestingly, all the other codes work the first time every time.

How does the preamp sound in the Mach 1V ?

Oh I see, that is odd. I wonder if it is because repeated uses of the same command do different things, on, unmute, NSE Off?

The fact you need to press it 4 times and it has 3 functions maybe something to do with it but I am grasping at straws.

I would try the minimum, repeat & duration settings and maybe increase the pause between different commands, if the remote has that capability. I have't used one I am afraid.

post #1181 of 2078
Can anyone recommend which unit would be best for 2 channel music ?
post #1182 of 2078
Half of the time it works on the first press. The other half it takes exactly 4 presses to work. I'm using a dedicated POWER ON button. I'm not using MUTE/UNMUTE to POWER ON.

I think the code has an error. Will probably be switching to RS232 soon so it may be moot.

Once you make the switch to RS232 it is quite something, things just work 'all' the time. Having said that I still use IR with the Nevo on a number of my sources and they are still near perfect in terms of responsiveness and accuracy.

The kit does cost many times more of course so would expect it to!

Perfectionist2, which RS232 solution are you looking at?

Adam
post #1185 of 2078
I have an AMX control system throughout my house but I don't want to spend that much money for a remote. I also want something that I can program myself as I like to make frequent tweaks with the layout, etc. I would say that the ability to modify screens myself without paying an installer will be the primary driver behind my decision. And of course I would like bi-directional feedback.

My consultant/installer has made some recommendations but I haven't made a final decision. I am going to look at RTI's new ProControl but don't know much about it. Not interested in iPad as I like to make adjustments (sound, channel, etc.) in the dark without swiping screens and constantly navigating through various screens.
post #1186 of 2078
Agreed, I don't know where the attraction lies in iPad as a controller; browsing your music collection maybe, but I like to be able to operate my remote with one hand, by touch alone.

I know Control4 have some 'big announcement' on Jan 10th so it might be worth a look see too.

Adam
post #1187 of 2078
Good advice.

I'm waiting for my installer to check out the new offerings at CES before making a decision.

Thanks.

Bobby,

you can read a few comments on the ADA's music performance here:
http://www.avforums.com/forums/audio...7-1-hd-21.html

Neil is official representative for ADA but what he says makes a lot of sense.
post #1189 of 2078
Unless you want to use an iPhone/iPad, RTI is a reliable, relatively inexpensive system with a great interface. I have used it throughout my home and theater for years.
post #1190 of 2078
That's why I'm interested in RTI's new ProControl line - awaiting details from CES
post #1191 of 2078
Here below the new ADA unit to be presented next week to the CES.



post #1192 of 2078
Wow! $40K and Trinnov an board? The full package. Only a couple dollars more than a loaded Theta

Any pictures of the back side?

Great find!

Thanks Roger.

It simply looks like both the Trinnov and Mach IV boxes in one chassis.

Are the they digitally connected? Or is the Mach IV spitting out an analog signal to the Trinnov inside?

Oh come on, the whole reason to have it in one chassis is to avoid the additional A/D-D/A steps of their outboard Trinnov boxes. However, since the Reference pre-pro can connect digitally (I think via network cable) to a TEQ slave unit for 16 more channels (32 total), it's too bad that their other pre-pros (Suite 7.1, Rapsody) don't have a similar way of connecting digitally to their 4/8/12 channel Trinnov boxes.

With HDCP. you can't assume anything.

I'm waiting for the Mach IV trade up program!!
post #1197 of 2078
You want it? You got it! I'll get you serial number one if you want- no BS.

We'll talk on the 21st- I'm going to be ordering at least one at CES anyway.

I'll give 6000 trade-in value on any Rhapsody M4 towards a Reference.

New York, NY - January 3, 2012 - Audio Design Associates (ADA), the recognized brand of excellence in high-end home cinema and custom installed electronics, announced that they will be launching the unprecedented Cinema Reference Mach IV at the Venetian Towers Suite 30-311 during the International CES in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The original Cinema Reference was introduced in 1996 and for nearly half a decade ruled the home cinema industry as the most advanced preamplifier of its day. ADA's Reference' pedigree has always been associated with state-of-the-art. notes Richard Stoerger, ADA's vice president and C.O.O. For us, to label a home cinema pre/pro with our Reference moniker, the unit must exceed the imagination of even the most ardent enthusiast. The Cinema Reference Mach IV, the fourth generation in a fifteen year love affair with home cinema is in my opinion, the finest home theater controller ever produced.

The Cinema Reference Mach IV features an impressive seven-inch 1080p front panel touch-screen display that doubles as a video preview display and setup interface. The rear panel boasts eight HDMI inputs with dual mirror HDMI outputs. Our dealers are quickly realizing that preamps with four or five HDMI inputs are limited right out of the box. states Albert Langella, president and chief design engineer. By the time you connect a set-top-box, Blu-ray, game console, Apple TV, and camcorder, you are out of inputs. We made certain that in addition to 12 audio-only components, you could connect at least 8 AV sources directly to the Cinema Reference. And naturally, all switching is HDMI 1.4 3-D compliant.

While the Cinema Reference Mach IV is feature loaded with every imaginable type of input connection, its defining feature is the built-in TEQ-16 sixteen-channel Trinnov electronic room correction optimizer. The Cinema Reference Mach IV is the world's only pre/pro with a built-in TEQ optimizer featuring Trinnov's incredible technology. adds Stoerger. From both digital and HDMI inputs, the signal path directly to the output stage is purely digital with no A/D and D/A conversion in between processing and post-processing stages. It is truly an amazing engineering marvel.

Does anyone have a full list of the pronto Hex codes, I've seen yours Adam here http://www.livedigital.co.uk/2010/06...uite-7-1-hd/7/

Could do with a few more. i.e stereo, Direct etc.................

I accidentally purchased Demopad App yesterday, so i will be giving this a go
post #1200 of 2078
Assuming that is an IP control iPad app, then you don't want Pronto codes at all.

Use the codes provided in the back of the manual.
