SYSTEM DESCRIPTION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION CASA is a radically different multi-source, multi-room system. It is designed to offer a high quality, permanent audio installation, reliably and independently serving many rooms in one home through a simple yet powerful user-interface. For the installer it also offers simplicity of installation and reliability in use. B&W Loudspeakers has an outstanding reputation for quality audio products.
DEFINITIONS DEFINITIONS The CASA multi-source, multi-room system is built around a central Controller driving Active Loudspeakers. Control over source switching and volume is by wall mounted Keypad/Display units (often referred to here simply as Keypads) and/or by hand-held Remote Controls. Each Controller comprises of four independent digitally controlled pre-amplifiers selecting from four possible sources. Low-voltage power supplies feed four stereo outputs driving Active Loudspeakers.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS SYSTEM COMPONENTS CONTROLLER (Figure 1a and 1b) The CASA Controller is at the heart of the CASA multisource, multi-room system. It contains four independent, digitally controlled preamplifiers, each of which can select from four available sources. In place of conventional power amplifiers the CASA Controller is equipped with low voltage power supplies feeding balanced output lines independently to four zones.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS Front panel indication is by LED and shows Zone On/Off, Zone receiving code and a Zone OK indicator, which illuminates when everything is fine. Each Controller preamplifier provides volume, tone and a balance control. Overdriving is prevented by the speakers shutting off at maximum volume. In addition to a built-in current limiter each of the eight outputs (four zones, left and right) is protected by a polyswitch re-settable fuse.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS KEYPAD/DISPLAY (Figure 4) The CASA integrated Keypad/Display fits in a double J-box. The Keypad incorporates an 8 character alphanumeric matrix display. A light sensor automatically adjusts display brightness to the ambient light conditions. An IR receiver is also incorporated. When the Keypad/Display is in a zone that is switched off, or if the CASA System is All off, the Keypad/Display can display either the present time ( 11:32 (for example)) or two dots ( :).
RJ45 4/4 The second group of three keys (<, > and >>) performs various ‘step up’ and certain ‘step down’ functions depending on the source selected. 4/4 The CASA Small Keypad has been designed to be directly substituted for the CASA Keypad/Display in situations where a local input is not installed and where the display, timer and IR input features are not required. The Small Keypad fits in a single J-box. The Keypad has ten keys arranged in two banks of five. Four source buttons are featured.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS CASA REMOTE CONTROL LOUDSPEAKERS (Figure 8) ACM™60 The CASA hand-held Remote control is an elegant and robust unit powered by two AAA batteries. It duplicates the functions of the Keypad keys though has an additional STOP key that puts any selected source into stop from any other mode (should this function be appropriate to the source selected). The Remote also features separate ZONE OFF and ALL OFF keys.
The AWM65 is a wall-mounted 1 x 50w Active Speaker using a 6.5-inch Kevlar® mid/bass driver and a 1-inch aluminium dome tweeter. A high-quality passive crossover is used to integrate the mid/bass driver and tweeter. An IR receiver/modulator is mounted in the bottom centre of the baffle. This receives IR codes from the remote control and transmits those codes back to the Controller by way of the power supply. An LED tell-tale flashes to show when an IR command has been received.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS Disabling IR receiver/modulator ANCILLARIES AWM70/65/650 T-pieces (Figure 9a) If IR reception is a problem in a particular location it may be necessary to disable IR reception on a speaker. Locate the IR board behind the IR lens at the bottom of the rear of the baffle. To disable the IR receiver locate the jumper shown in the diagrams below and remove it taking care not to damage any components. T-pieces comprise three RJ45 connectors wired in parallel.

The diagrams show the DIP switch when the Sub-zone Module is orientated with the pins up.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS CASA Interface (Figure 11a/b) The Casa Interface is a two-channel power supply and can be used to increase the power available in complex CASA systems enabling additional speakers to be used or maximum replay levels to be retained when using additional speakers. The output power of one interface will effectively support one pair of AWM70 loudspeakers. A local mains power supply for the interface will be required. See Figure 11a/b. Two rear panel DIP switches control operation.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS CABLING The CASA System is designed to use shielded Category 5 cable with RJ45 connectors (24 or 26 AWG with certain loading considerations – 120 foot runs for the AWM70 for instance). Longer runs can be considered with the CASA Interface power supply. Twisted-pair cables comprise copper cores surrounded by an insulator twisted together to form a pair. The cable is a bundle of twisted pairs surrounded by an insulator.
SYSTEM DESIGN SYSTEM DESIGN DESIGNING (Figure 14) The CASA multi-source, multi-room system can be as simple as one Controller, one pair of Active Speakers and a Remote or Keypad/ Display.

SYSTEM DESIGN LOADING CONSIDERATIONS The maximum total load on one Controller for full power capability is 400 loading units. Exceeding the total loading will not render an installation unsafe. The effect will be that all speakers cannot be played at maximum power output simultaneously. We do not consider this to be a major limitation though systems designed for fullhouse party use would be best designed within the limitation to achieve full power output. Maximum loading on any one output (ie.

SYSTEM DESIGN ADDING… Remote Output This ancillary allows a zone to operate with a conventional external power amplifier and passive loud-speakers in place of CASA Active Speakers. It can be thought of as a local CASA System Pre-out socket. The Remote Output takes the place of a pair of speakers in a zone. RJ45 sockets marked ‘R’ and ‘L’ are connected back to the right and left sockets of one zone on the Controller.
SYSTEM DESIGN Note that ‘looped through’ sources available to every connected Controller restrict the total number of sources available. ADDING… Additional Controllers (Figure 20) If two or more Controllers are used in the same system we suggest you connect them so that only one Flood IR emitter works. This will avoid potential interference that may cause erratic or intermittent operation see sub-section Using With…Any IR controlled source component for further considerations.
SYSTEM DESIGN ADDING… Sub-zones (Figures 21 and 22) IR remote control can only be implemented in Sub-zone A. The Small Keypad has no IR sensors and speakers with IR receivers operating in Sub-zones other than Sub-zone A need to have their IR receiver disabled by removal of the IR links — see Figure 9 Page 33 of the CASA Installation Manual. Figure 21 shows the simplest of Sub-zones. Figure 22 shows one of the more complex configurations with a local input available to three Sub-zones (A, B and C).

SYSTEM DESIGN Speaker socket. The speakers are then connected to the 1st Speaker socket on the T-piece. Channel orientation is not important as the Interface is not being fed via its own Audio In sockets, however for clarity L–L and R–R connections are shown. A local mains power supply will be needed for the Interface. ADDING… The CASA Interface The CASA Interface power supply is added using two T-pieces (as shown in Figure 23).
SYSTEM DESIGN ADDING… Two identical source components Home automation Two identical source components can be successfully used with the CASA System under remote control. When using two identical sources the front panel Flood IR must be de-activated. The RS-232 socket offers open architecture control of and feedback from the CASA System components. Identical tuners may be used to extend the number of available presets for example.
INITIAL SYSTEM SET-UP INITIAL SYSTEM SET-UP REMOTE If they have not already been fitted or to fit replacement batteries: remove the two screws from the base of the remote control and remove the bottom cover. A conventional 2 x AAA battery carrier is tucked inside. Slide out the battery carrier with its two wires attached. Insert the appropriate batteries noting correct polarity.
INITIAL SYSTEM SET-UP One long press (3 seconds) on the m key (on either the Keypad/Display or Remote control) will save the new source settings (display will show Saving ) and take the system out of set-up mode. If there is a local input present press L and the display will show L V o l = - - . This indicates a variable volume for the local input. If this needs to be fixed — if the volume control of a local device needs to be used, for instance — press the - key.
INITIAL SYSTEM SET-UP TONE CONTROL AND BALANCE Tone control and balance are set on a zone by zone basis. When the zone is off one long press (3 seconds) first on the + and then the - key (on either the Keypad/Display or Remote control) will take the CASA System into tone control set-up mode. As this will also take the system into CD1 play mode any CD listening material you wish to use for tone control setting should be loaded beforehand in CD Player 1.
INITIAL SYSTEM SET-UP ZONE SETUP With the system off long presses (3 seconds) on the <, m and the < key in sequence (on either the Keypad/Display or Remote control) will take the CASA System into Zone Setup mode. The display will automatically show Z o n e S e t before showing the N o S u b s ? . The « and » keys N o S u b s ? and U s e S u b s ? . Pressing the > key again permits the default setting can then be used to toggle between Zone to be included or excluded from Party Mode.
SYSTEM OPERATION SYSTEM OPERATION SLEEP REVIEWING SYSTEM SOURCES With the zone on, a long press on the S key for 3 seconds puts the system into sleep set-up mode and the display will show S l e e p ? .The keys With the system All off, three long presses (3 seconds) on the « , m and » keys in sequence (on either the Keypad/Display or Remote control) will take the CASA System into review mode. The display will automatically show R e v i e w and the current firmware version V 1 .
SYSTEM OPERATION KEYPAD CONTROLS General Remarks Sub-zone speakers other than A playing Just Sub-zone A playing Only Sub-zone speakers off Zone switched off Off Zone off NO FUNCTION As a general rule key presses that do not perform any function at the time they are pressed will elicit the display message C a n ’ t d o . This display will revert after 1 second.
SYSTEM OPERATION < and > keys The < and > keys perform slightly different functions depending on the source selected when they are pressed. For tuner or satellite sources the < key will select one preset or channel down from the current choice, the > key will select one preset or channel up.
SYSTEM OPERATION S key REMOTE CONTROL The S key can be used to review or set the timer and sleep functions. On a short keypress the display will automatically cycle through the current settings. If the Time Off function of the timer has not been set and the Time On function has been set, the display will show Time on [pause] y 1 1 : 3 2 [pause] C D (selected STOP key timer source for example) [pause] n12:01 Time off [pause] . The display will then revert.
SYSTEM OPERATION SMALL KEYPAD Switching on Any source key can be used to switch the CASA System on. The system will go from standby to playing or selecting the appropriate source. ON/OFF key If the Small Keypad resides in a Sub-zone other than Sub-zone A a long press on the ON/OFF key will turn the volume down and switch the whole zone off. Note: this means that the All Off capability of the Keypad/Display is not available from the Small Keypad other than in Sub-zone A.
SYSTEM OPERATION USING WITH... Hard Disc Server Any source components If a Server is the selected source the < and > keys will operate as the Next track and Previous track function. Before selecting source equipment you should study the source equipment addendum and choose equipment that is both supported by the CASA code set and which is functionally best suited to the system(s) in which it will be used. It is recommended that the source equipment should be plugged into the switched mains outlet.
SYSTEM OPERATION MULTIPLE USERS/MULTIPLE ZONES With either one or multiple CASA Controllers in use a symbol will appear in the display to warn the user that the source selected is in use in another zone or zones. A +symbol will appear if the system is in use by another zone with a different source. A * symbol will appear if the system is in use by another zone with the same source. This warning is to prevent inadvertent source changes that would affect other users in different parts of the house.
