GENERAL INFORMATION

The Xantech MX88 System sets a new standard in whole-house audio/video distribution, audio amplification, and control/automation. The MX88 System consists of the MX88 controller/amplifier, keypads (such as MRKP1/1E or MRKP2/2E) or touch-panels (such as the Xantech SmartPanel™) to control each zone, and wireless or wired web-enabled devices such as the Apple® iPad® for controlling all zones and the entire system. When combined with IR, RS232, or IP controlled (IP on select models only) meta-data-rich audio/video sources and home automation components, the MX88 becomes a powerful system capable of controlling virtually everything within a household.

The MX88 can be used as a stand-alone unit or in conjunction with another MX88 to provide 16 Zones of A/V/Control distribution.

MX88 models include:

MX88vi: Audio/Video/Control distribution, IP-enabled

MX88ai: Audio/Control distribution, IP-enabled
