Model MX88

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

In a MX88-based whole house audio/video/control system, the MX88 controller/amplifier acts as the server and the keypads, touch-panels, and compatible web-enabled devices (such as the Apple® iPad®) act as the clients. The end users interact with these clients in order to control all aspects of audio/video distribution and control.

This system allows the end user to accomplish the following: 1) Distribute amplified audio and video from eight independent Sources to eight separate zones. 2) Control the volume, mute, bass, treble, and balance for each of the eight zones. 3) Control most standard source components via IR and/or RS232 and/or IP (certain MX88 models only) commands. Two MX88s can be linked to create systems with up to sixteen zones.
