Introduction
Over the years, we have received numerous questions about setting up the Zone 2 functions on receivers. Zone 2 refers to a stereo line-level output on the back of the receiver that can be used to drive a power amplifier in a second room so you can have background music at a party, for example.
Since Zone 2 is most often line-level (about 1 Volt or so), you need to have an additional power amplifier either right next to the receiver, or in the next room where you have the Zone 2 speakers.

For Zone 2 operation, the main receiver acts as a volume control and source selector. Therefore, it is not necessary to waste money on an integrated amplifier that has a lot of features you would never use.

We looked around for basic two-channel amplifiers that might be used in Zone 2 situations. The AudioSource AMP-100 is our first selection for this purpose. In fact, the AMP-100 is designed specifically for custom install projects, and has the basic things you would need for use in Zone 2, namely, auto-on, auto-switching for two inputs, and two sets of speaker outputs (Speaker Set A and Speaker Set B).




The Design
The AMP-100 outputs 50 watts per channel into 8 Ohms. This is perfect for Zone 2 and background music at parties, or for just having dinner by yourselves.

The front panel of the amplifier has an on/off switch, buttons for selecting Speaker Set A or B, and a volume control for each channel.

The rear panel has RCA jacks for two sets of stereo inputs, as well as a line-out for Input Set 2. This lets you forward the signal for Input 2 to another room (Zone 3) if you like. In other words, you could then have the receiver send CD music to the den or bedroom, through the Input 2 line-out on the AMP-100. Of course, you would need an additional power amplifier in Zone 3.

The back panel also has a slider switch for bridging the AMP-100, but I don't think that is of real use in a Zone 2 situation. There is a slider for setting the AMP-100 to Manual-On or Auto-On. For Zone 2, you would probably want to set it to Auto-On so that it turns on when you activate the Zone 2 operation from the main receiver.

There are two sets of speaker binding posts for each channel, one set for Speaker Set A and one set for Speaker Set B. Thus, you can activate either set. For example, you could have one set in the dining room and another in the kitchen. Both sets of speakers can be active at the same time.

The AMP-100 AC power cord is two-conductor, so it is unlikely that you will encounter ground loops with typical two-conductor power cord receivers.

The on-board volume controls make it easy to fine tune the volume in Zone 2 rather than having to go back to the main receiver.

Auto switching for two inputs means you can use the AMP-100 to drive a second source that is not part of the receiver. For example, the second input could be used with the line-out from a TV in the dining room, when you want to have more volume. The auto-switching gives Input 1 priority, so when it is turned off, and Input 2 is active, the amplifier switches over to Input 2.


In Use
I tested the AMP-100 using stereo outputs from several of my sources as well as just connecting them to a CD player directly.

The AMP-100 is not designed to compete with high powered, expensive two-channel amplifiers. Nevertheless, I was pleasantly surprised at how good it does sound. Part of this is due to the fact that the AMP-100 is made overseas at manufacturing facilities that produce thousands of amplifiers for various OEM contracts all over the world. So, you are getting a lot for your money.

With only 50 watts per channel, the AMP-100 runs out of steam as the volume is cranked, but that is not its purpose. At modest volume, actually a little higher than one might set it for background music, the AudioSource performed well, giving plenty of detail, tight bass, and no background hum or noise. If you want to play "Jurassic Lunch" with the 8 Hz footsteps, into low impedance, low sensitivity speakers, forget it. But for Beethoven, at coffee and dessert SPLs, it's very nice. If you want more power in Zone 2, say for dancing, you might go with the AudioSource AMP-3.

The built-in volume controls are handy for situations where one speaker might be farther away from the dinner table than the other, so you can turn up the volume on the farther distance speaker.


Conclusions
The AudioSource AMP-100 is a nicely featured, good performing, two-channel amplifier that is perfect for Zone 2 operation. At its price (I saw it for $103 at an Internet store), you simply cannot go wrong.

Quality you can see & Hear
The AR604H-BK brings the power and fidelity of a professional grade speaker system into your very own home. These high power, high fidelity speakers take an uncompromising approach to deliver high quality sounds, so you hear the same notes and instruments as the recording artist did. The AR604 reproduces sounds with such force and clarity few traditional speakers can match - it is one set of rock solid speakers designed from the ground up utilizing nothing but the highest quality components and technologies. No matter what applications it connects to, you will be amazed at the clarity and life it brings to your music.


Professional Grade Components
Extreme quality and durability are what you will find in the AR604. The AR604 is made using professional grade components such as rubber surrounds, Kapton voice coils and Y30 hard ferrite magnets - just to name a few. These components are rated to work continuously under brutal stresses and high operating temperatures to guarantee you consistent, unfailing audio. If you crave quality and durability, the AR604 has you covered.


Capture Musical Clarity
Hear the sounds the way they were meant to be heard. We crafted the AR604 with 1 inch ferro fluid cooled silk dome tweeters and 5 inch polypropylene coated woofers with rubber surrounds, so you capture all of the crystal-clear highs and tight, punchy lows.  With a frequency response of 60Hz to 20kHz, the speaker system captures a wider range of sound so you hear all the instruments as if you were there in the recording room. These high fidelity speakers are perfect for audiophiles who want the best clarity, linearity and power out of their media.


Powerful and Consistent Sound
At its heart are four class AB amplifiers capable of delivering 80 RMS watts of continuous power - that's worlds different than a speaker rated using peak power. The AR604s are rated using RMS meaning they are capable of delivering 80 watts of sonic waves at all times. Unlike speakers that focus on peak wattage, which is only capable of producing loud sounds for a very short period of time, (often in a fraction of a second or less) - the AR604 lets you crank to extreme levels while still maintaining strong, accurate sound quality. Most speakers will begin to distort at such high levels, but not here. With the AR604, you get a peace of mind knowing you get well-balanced audio at any level.


All Wood Design
The AR604 features tuner inspired, custom shaped trapezoid wooden cabinets to echo your music on a superior level. Relative to many of its competitors with plastic cases, the AR604’s dense wooden enclosures ensure that the build is rigid and sound is radiated accurately. Thanks to this, the AR604 pumps out serious low-frequencies all the way down to an amazingly 60HZ, sharply. You will be surprised at the punchy, tight bass without the need for separate sub-woofer unit.

Eagletech Arion ET-AR604H-BR Professional Series High Power Hi-Fi Speakers

Today we’re going to be reviewing Eagletech’s Arion ET-AR604H-BR Professional Series High Power Hi-Fi Speakers. Eagletech is a PC oriented company that’s getting pretty aggressive in the audio market and designing some really exciting products. I’ve never worked with their products before, so I’m hoping for a good first impression.


Feature Highlights
- 80W of Continuous Power for High-Fidelity Sound
- Crystal clear highs with 1” Ferro fluid cooled silk dome tweeters
- Punchy bass through 5” polypropylene-coated woofers
- Mahogany vinyl-laminated exterior; tuner inspired custom shaped cabinet
- Input Connector: RCA (2 port)
- Output Connector: Four-pin XLR
- Product Dimensions: 7.9” x 8.7” x 11.3”
- Product Weight: Net: 27 lbs  Gross: 32 lbs
- Warranty: 1 Year Limited Warranty

Setup
The included manual is pretty straight forward and gives you a general rundown of what is included, safety warnings, an overview, a five step product setup, and specs.

The speakers are pretty hefty due to the quality of parts used so getting them on a stable surface at a good height should be taken into consideration. I always recommend them on level with your ears.


The really unique approach Eagletech took with this setup was to incorporate a four-pin XLR connection to actually power the second speaker, eliminating the need for a second power plug and keeping the whole system very compact. It’s the first time I’ve actually seen this used on a speaker set like this. However, the cable length isn’t very long so keep that in mind. The other problem is my sample units were not labeled with LEFT OR RIGHT on them, but I’ve been told that is resolved in the final units.


The connection setup for the ET-AR604H-BR utilizes a standard RCA input that can be connected directly to a PC, gaming laptop, tablet or any other device that has a 3.5mm audio connector. A cable is included and works great if you’re connecting it to said devices, but for some higher quality setups, you may want to use a standard RCA cable. This is something I would have liked to see included already in the event I wanted to hook it up to my TV.


I am sure their support will deal with a lot of confused buyers, because the manual shows a ‘home theater system’ setup, and you’re more likely to want to connect an RCA outputs rather than a 3.5mm connection, especially for home theater systems. My recommendation is to use a spare RCA audio cable (or purchase one for really cheap).

        
Testing
I decided to use these speakers in two different environments to see how versatile they could be. Suffice to say, I was very impressed.

First up, I connected it to my laptop and I was blown away by the clarity. I tested multiple music programs including Pandora, Spotify, and my own personal mp3/FLAC collections. It’s always hard to put into words what a product sounds like, but with my experience working on high end sound systems, this was VERY impressive. I pushed these speakers pretty hard and they held up to the task.

The quality of this experience led to the second test area: the public ear.

I DJ as a side-gig and decided to use these to gauge interest and see how they would work out for professionals in smaller venues.  Normally these consist of corporate events that want to have music, but not overwhelming enough to drown out conversation. The compact setup and the single connection really came in handy, but as I mentioned earlier, I had to keep them relatively close due to the XLR connection not being too long.

The immediate impact was there — people loved the elegant design and were surprised by the clarity of the speakers.  As the night progressed, I cranked it up higher and higher with great results – no choppy sound, static, or other artifacts. I don’t normally redline my mixer, so that obviously helps keep the speakers in control as well. A few audiophiles in attendance right away nodded their heads in approval to the sound of the music.

I already plan to take this with me on the next few smaller gigs and replacing the booth monitors I use for larger gigs with this setup. It’s really THAT good.

Conclusion
First, the bad: The website is horrible. There is almost no info available, the layout is very poor, and trying to do research before purchasing this is almost pointless in its current state. The included documentation isn’t much better and the lack of an RCA-RCA cable was really a misfire on Eagletech’s part. This is a very common item (I have tons of devices that come with them), so I can’t dock them for too much, but it’s something they need to add purely from a convenience standpoint.

I’ve already sent my grievances to Eagletech, so hopefully they will take that into consideration and make the changes needed. The team seems to be very receptive to reviewer feedback, and that is ALWAYS a good sign for buyers.

Now onto the product: These speakers sound PHENOMENAL. I’ve listened to many desktop speaker setups (2.0, 2.1, 5.1, and 7.1) but I was absolutely stunned at how crystal clear the sound was from these two units. Considering that the subs are included in these cabinets, they sounded clean and punchy at the highest levels. There was no audible buzz or humming like traditional desktop speakers and the EQ controls were very easy to use and sensible. The knobs being retractable added to the high quality design to the units and I loved the overall exterior finish.

If you can look past the documentation and website, you will find the ET-AR604H-BR as very impressive product. I’d highly recommend these units for anyone looking for strong powerful sound at a pretty affordable price.  I already have scrapped my 5.1 Logitech desktop speaker set in favor of these and have become my go-to DJ monitors.

The ET-AR604H-BR is currently available at MSRP $299.99, but as low as $249.99 on promotion.

Product review

Are you searching an ideal product to connect your phone with the audio system

This review features why you need a HomeSpot Bluetooth audio receiver, as well as all the extraordinary points that make it prominent among similar products.
More and more people move their music collections to mobile phones or laptops. And the increasingly use of streaming music services like Pandora or Spotify makes wireless streaming essential for us. The phone’s small speaker cannot provide high quality sound, when play music with bass or tremble.  Your home audio stereo system has great audio quality. But you can’t easily stream favorite songs or other music to an old model amplifier without wireless function.


There are 3 available ways to solve this problem:

Upgrade your AV receiver to a newer model with wireless function, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. This may cost you $200-$600, depends on brands and models.
Connect through cables. Each time you want music playing on your phone, you have to find the cable and connect it manually. It’s a little bothersome, not the solution we want.
Get a Bluetooth audio receiver and make a wireless bridge between them. This is the easy and technical way to archive our goal. You can walk around in your house and even outside the build without distortion of the sound. It’s that easy to turn your speakers into a wireless sound system. Sometimes you find techniques make something simple,but amazing.

HomeSpot Bluetooth audio receiver is designed to solve this, the incompatibility between new generation smart devices,such as smart phone, iPod and iPad, and those audio systems or speakers without wireless components. Universality wins out because Bluetooth is pretty much on every mobile device. You can easily fill your room with wireless music in 3 minutes by this little device.



Main Features of HomeSpot Bluetooth audio Receiver

High Quality Sound
With the built-in amplifier, it offers high-quality audio streaming from my phone in high quality sound through my home stereo system. I was hearing significantly improved bass impact and treble in my music, and without distortion. Some other product such as Logitech receiver do have this problem. It is not to say that is the ceiling of the bluetooth music. For a better quality you must get something with apt-X for a higher price.

Flexibility To Go Freely
Makes mobile devices really mobile. It can stream music from up to 50 feet according to other customer experiences. With in that range the connection is valid and live, signal is good even through human bodies or walls. This is the most leading character of HomeSpot Bluetooth audio receiver, almost the longest range you can get from a original  not extended Bluetooth with an antenna. Some other receivers produced by big companies have no such outstanding broadcast ability. That range is enough for my house. If you want a further scale for wireless transmission an extra antenna will be needed, which is  available with this 2x  range bluetooth receiver.



Easy Install Easy Control
HomeSpot-Bluetooth-Audio-ReceiverHomeSpot’s NFC Bluetooth pairing function is highly compatible. It has been tested to work fine with all the main smartphones: Google Nexus, LG Optimus, Samsung Galaxy, Samsung Note, HTC One, HTC EVO 4G LTE, HTC Windows Phone, Nokia Lumia, Sony Experia S, Motorola Droid.
Convenient control and easy to install. Just plug it into your stereo system, and then get connected to your device with just one push of a button. If perhaps your phone has NFC, simply move it near the HomeSpot receiver to create an immediate connection. For Bluetooth phones or computers without NFC, the pairing procedure is just simple follow instruction. Establishing a connection to another standard Bluetooth audio receivers and audio system can be done within munites. Once paring and connecting occurs the wonderful music fills the room instantly. Music and gaming are truly wireless as you wish. By the way, playing PvZ on iPhone via this method seems more alluring than before.
