Xantech MX88 Controller/Amplifier Features, Preamp level audio outputs for all eight zones

Page: 8 Model MX88

CONTROLLER/AMPLIFIER FEATURES

•Zones: Eight, expandable to sixteen-zones with the addition of a second MX88 and additional keypads

•Sources: Eight audio (MX88a or MX88ai) or eight audio/video (MX88vi). Any zone can select any source. Any source can be selected in multiple zones. Several modes of control:

-Whole-house mode – selection and control of any source from any zone.

-Priority mode – any zone can select and monitor a source, but only the first zone to select that source can control it.

-Link mode – multiple zones can be linked together to act as a single zone for source selection and control. Each zone maintains independent volume and mute controls.

-Monitor lockout – prevents certain zones from selecting certain sources.

•Local Zone Audio Inputs: Eight zone-specific audio inputs. When activated, overrides source-one audio inputs allowing each zone to have its own dedicated Audio Source by selecting source-one.

•IR Learning: IR commands can be learned from external hand-held remotes through the Controller/Amplifier‟s built-in IR learning eye or they can be generated from the MX88‟s built-in IR code library.

Internal IR Code Library: Built in IR Code Library. Contains all Major Brand Component IR commands. No need to „learn‟ commands.

•Macros: can be built using IR, audio control, RS232, repeat or delay commands and associated with a specific button or event. They can be triggered by a keypad button press, an RC68+ IR code, an MX88 compatible keypad command, control sense status, video sense status or by RS232. Up to 40 IR commands can be issued in a single Macro.

•Audio/Video loop-throughon all eight source inputs (video applies to MX88vi only)

•Power Management: Keeps all components‟ power states in sync with Zone Power Status

All eight video source inputs have built-in NTSC/PAL sync sensing (MX88v only)

All eight sources have current sense inputs for use with a CSM1 Current Sensor.

•Preamp level audio outputs for all eight zones

Frequency response: 12 Hz to 55KHz (±3dB)

THD: <0.08%.

Signal-to-noise ratio: > 96dB A-weighted

•Amplification: Zones 1 through 8 have built-in stereo audio amplifiers at 50 Watts per channel Zones 7 and 8 are also designed to be used with external amplifiers in case higher power output is desired. CO1 and CO2 Control Outputs provide on/off or mute trigger signals to external amps used for zones 7 and 8.

•Video outputs for all eight zones (MX88vi only)

•IR Emitter Outputs: Eight source-specific IR emitter outputs

One common IR emitter output

Eight zone-specific IR emitter outputs
