Four sources delivered to any one of four zones for sharing music throughout the home.

Scalable to eight zones by connecting two CAS44s for extended zone coverage (CAA66s and CAS44s do not interoperate).

Lower price to ease homeowner entry into the multiroom market.

The CAS44 kit ships with a remote control (CAS-RC) and elegant keypads (KPL or KP4 models) for home audio one-touch control. These soft-touch, amber backlit single-gang keypads provide IR signal passthrough and adjustments to the room’s audio settings. From each keypad, the user can adjust bass, treble, balance and vol- ume. The system supports multiple keypads per zone for convenient access and includes an RS232 connection for integration with home automation systems.
