Hey All,
I'm working on a good, better, best quote for a customer and a dont do a ton of larger dist audio systems. It will be 8 zones of audio. Can I do something as basic Sonos -> AD-8 -> sliding volume controls. Controlled from the Sonos App? Or does an AD-8 always need a processor and/or RTI keypads?
Thanks,
Tom

The AD-8 is a stand-alone unit with RS-232 control, so any control system will work with it.

If SONOS is your one and only source you are probably best using a multi-zone amplifier with auto sensing capability without having to utilize the control system. The isea would be for the client to pick up the iphone/ipad/etc, start playing a song on the SONOS system and the amplifier automatically kicking in and playing over the house speakers.
The alternative would be to select a source / zone with the RTI app, then have to switch over to the SONOS app for control. The AD-8 works best when the client has multiple sources nad multiple zones where control is acheived through the RTI control system.

If i were to control and AD8 from a Crestron Piece would I have have all of the normal commands needed to do a standard DA system. All ON/Off, Discrete zone control for source and volume?
I know it seems stupid but I haven't touched one of these and expect it to have great protocol as it comes from a control company.
I need a step down for a budget project. Client has 10K for 6-8 zones of D/A plus a surround system. He wants iPad control and ability to add keypads and handhelds.
I don't do RTI at all but would use this amp with a small Crestron system.
