Forté Electronics | Infrared
The most flexible plasma resistant receivers on the market
Relaying infrared signals is not as simple as it looks. Sunlight, plasma and other light sources can contain large
amounts of infrared which can limit the range or completely block the relay of remote control commands. The outdoor
lifestyle in Australia makes the need for higher performance critical. Australian homes tend to incorporate large
glassed areas with extended outdoor living. This means that more often than not infrared relay systems are expected
to operate in direct or reflected sunlight. As a result LeisureTech Electronics has developed a new range of Forté
infrared receivers that give a maximum range of 30 meters in direct sunlight. This technology also provides benefits in
operating range and off axis flexibility. New technologies such as emissions from plasma screens continue to test this
technology. LeisureTech Electronics continues to develop better infrared receivers to justify its worldwide reputation as
the leader in infrared technology, now with a compact range available under the Forté Electronics brand name.

All Forté infrared receivers have status indication. Most remote controls only have one command for ON/OFF. In remote rooms you need to know if the amplifier
status is ON or OFF. With these connecting blocks it is as simple as plugging in an extra power supply into the switched output of the amplifier.
*NB If there is only 3 wires on a receiver leave off the status line.

Forté Electronics | Infrared
Forte Passive connection blocks epitomise the simplicity of our infrared relay systems. Shielded cables are not
required. (DL-8 Data Cable is recommended to ensure reliability) cable length is not a problem in most installations and all include status. Our passive units are targeted at basic applications that require less sophistication, but
demand flexibility and reliability throughout. With up to 6 receivers able to be used with the PS-2 power supply, you
have a complete home IR solution. Now the IRC-135 gives you more flexibility than ever before.

Forté Electronics | Cable
The Original “Low Loss” cable designed specifically for the custom
installation industry requirements
A hard fact of science for custom installers is that the longer a speaker cable is run, the greater the signal loss
experienced. “Low Loss” was the first cable designed specifically for custom installation industry requirements. It uses
advanced dielectric to reduce the signal losses caused by capacitance and inductance. Using 99.9% OXYGEN FREE
premium grade audio wire copper, low loss is enclosed in a high impact outer sheath to resist damage during and after
installation. No wonder its distinctive yellow has become an industry standard for audio cables installed in homes and
businesses throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Forté Electronics | Multi Room Audio
It’s true! Conventional multi-room sound systems typically amplify at a centralised point and send the signal over
metres and metres of inefficient speaker cables. This results in sound quality loss, not to mention extra equipment and
cabling. Where as Forté A-BUS unique technology amplifies sound at the keypad in each zone. This means one low
cost cable replaces the conventional cable combination and saves you time, money, and gives superior sound quality.
Why Forté A-BUS?
Connects to any stereo system, Home Theatre and/or A-BUS/ready™
amplifier, receiver and source component
Cat-5 cable and local keypad amplification to rooms, creates minimal signal loss to
speakers
Modular to mix and match keypads per room depending on the level of
control you desire
Custom built-in to your home as a single-source, multi-source or multi-zone system
for 1-100 rooms
Any room can play any source simultaneously, or any room can play its own source
(LIM).
Sources are centrally located in TV or Home Theatre room/s with surface mount
hubs
Sources are locally located in each room with Structured Wiring hubs
IR sensors on keypads or flushed-in speakers have a 20 metre range
Upgrade existing Forté A-BUS wired homes in minutes not days as your lifestyle
changes
Very low heat output as Forté A-BUS is meant to be used all day every day
Interior design friendly– no bulky components, messy cables or dusting
Very low energy consumption
(4 rooms have the energy draw of a single light bulb)
True audiophile sound quality, reliable, easy and fun to use
It’s an investment for higher home re-sale value

What is A-BUS/ready?
First of all lets look at what is A-BUS/ready™? It is where a Home Theatre receiver, amplifier or multi-room amplifier
has an A-BUS port built into it. By using an A-BUS/ready™ components your system can be expanded to a multi-room
audio system. Depending on the number of A-BUS/ready™ expansion ports on the back of the amp you can have up
to 16 rooms. With IR control from each room. It’s easy, it’s simple and it’s ready.
• Low cost multi-room audio solution
• Local amplification with control in that room
• IR capability to increase level of control
• Choice of wall module or “on speaker” control
• Ability to have a local input in each room
• It’s all about choice and freedom
• No need to use a hub when wanting a single-zone
installation
• No attenuator volume controls needed
• System runs cool
• Each zone (room) can be turned on/off as needed

Note: A-BUS/READY™ is available on AV Receivers and Multi-zone amplifiers from the following:

With the use of SoundCast’s SubCast wireless TX/RX you can add a room on to
an A-BUS installation. Of course we always recommend hard wiring but if you’re
in a bind to get a cable Outdoors, all that is required is the SubCast TX/RX and an
A-BUS to RCA converter manufactured by LeisureTech. Please see diagrams for
further explanation and just ring us for any questions.
