Introduction
The 1710A is designed to provide high delity amplication and theft detection for premium headphones,
and/or manual switching for self service retail demonstration. The 1710A has several options that govern
the behavior of the headphone demonstration. In distribution mode (see table on page 4), all outputs
are active all the time. In switching mode, only one of the four outputs may be active at any time. Larger
switching systems, linked by system bus and audio patch cords, can either allow one live position on each
1710A, or the entire system can be limited to one active position at a time (see feature switch settings).

Package Contents
Before attempting to use this product, please check the packaging and make certain the following items
are contained in the shipping carton:
• 1710A Headphone Demonstrator
• DC Power Adapter
• User Manual
Features
• High quality headphone amplication
• Switching or distribution behavior
• Adjustable demonstration timeout in switching mode
• Automatic selection of customer audio source when connected
• Theft detection and integral alarm
• Multiple units can easily be connected together for any size system
Audio Sources and Customer Auto Demo
Connect a music player to the PLAYER input jack as the default audio source. If desired, provide a
3.5mm cord connected to the CUSTOMER input so that customers may use their own music players to
demonstrate headphones. When audio is detected on the CUSTOMER input jack, the customer audio is
selected as the audio source. If no audio is detected on the CUSTOMER input for 7.5 seconds, the 1710A
switches back to the PLAYER input.
Bus Out
The bus output feeds the currently selected audio input (player or customer) to more 1710A modules or
other audio devices in the system. Connect a 3.5mm patch cord from the rst 1710A bus output to the
second 1710A player input, etc. One linked system sharing a house player also must share one customer
input (do not use any customer inputs besides the rst 1710A).
System Bus
System Bus is a four-conductor cable that allows multiple 1710A modules to be connected and
communicate with each other. They can coordinate current product selection as well as alarm signals
and alarm reset (see Theft Detection on page 4).
Button (PSB) Ports
In switching mode, customers can activate one product at a time using a two-wire momentary switch.
Connect a switch for each corresponding product. The LED in the switch illuminates during the
demonstration. Buttons are not used in distribution mode.
Note: Please retain the original packing
material in case the unit must be returned.

Audio Authority immediately. Have the Model
Number and Invoice available for reference
when you call.

Theft Detection
1710A theft detection is compatible with most headphone models, including models with active circuitry
such as noise cancelling. Activate theft detection using feature switch #3. The 1710A can detect most
devices when connected directly to the 1710A. If not, you must connect the product through an Audio
Authority extension cable. All devices should be tested for proper detection behavior upon installation. If
detection does not work for a particular device, disable detection for that port using the Theft Detection
switches.
Attach a reset switch (contact closure) to reset the alarm. We recommend that a remote theft indicator
light should be installed in clear view of customers. The blinking LED is a deterrent, warning that theft
detection is active. The on-board buzzer sounds if it detects an unauthorized removal, but If a louder
alarm is desired, the external siren port can power a 12VDC siren.
When active, the theft indicator blinks and the 1710A detects the headphones that are connected, and
triggers the alarm if one is removed. The theft indicator light connected to the 1710A where the stolen
headphones were connected shines solid until the alarm is reset.
When headphones must be connected and disconnected, turn on the siren reset switch, make product
changes, and turn the switch off again. The theft indicator LED(s) turn off when the reset switch is on.
Only one reset switch is needed per system; reset status is communicated to all other modules that are
connected via System Bus.
Timeout Interval
In switching mode, a demo timer is initiated each time a customer selects a product output to audition.
The demonstration length is set by the timeout switch, in increments of 15 seconds. If the timeout switch
is set to 0, then the demonstration does not time out.

Operation
