NUVO
Essentia E6G

The Essentia delivers the startlingly clear sound of NuVo from up to six different sources, and to six different listening zones in the house. It’s diverse, expandable, and surprisingly affordable. And now, Essentia is the first whole home audio system to earn the Energy Star logo – consuming less than 1 watt of power while in standby mode.

Essentia E6G includes a stunning new control pad interface, with OLED display providing full metadata feedback. Coplanar buttons provide a smooth, clean finish with the overall polycarbonate surface, making the entire control pad water-resistant.

Utilizing the same NuVoNet interface as Grand Concerto to provide full data feedback from any NuVo source unit, the Essentia Suite is a harmonious solution that’s simple to install and afford.

Essentia features Philips Class D digital audio amplification to deliver clear, precise sound throughout your home, which adds energy efficiency while running. It’s like no other multi-source system on the market.

Essentia's RS-232 bidirectional control interface allows it to be controlled from most home automation systems – just one of the many features that make Essentia an incredible value in today’s home audio market.

NuVo systems come complete with all necessary components for installation, including keypads. All that’s needed are speakers, wire, and audio source equipment, and you can enjoy the power of Essentia in no time.
