Speakercraft Multi-Zone Controller 88

The MZC 88 is loaded with technical advancements that make the system both dynamic and flexible. With 12 or 16 channels of digital amplification, depending on the model, a single unit can power up to eight stereo zones or areas of the home with no need for additional amplifiers. Should a zone require more power, the unit offers a separate pre-amp output for each zone. This output can be either fixed or variable allowing the level to be adjusted from the keypad in that zone. This is perfect for connecting to a powered subwoofer or a larger amplifier to drive multiple loudspeakers.

The MZC can sense the audio or video signal from a particular source so it knows if an individual component is on or off. This is critical if a piece of equipment has been manually turned on or off. The next power on or off command from a keypad or remote will automatically establish the correct status of the sources in the system. As your system grows, the MZC allows you to add additional rooms or zones as it becomes necessary. Multiple MZC units can be stacked for larger systems or additions to your home.

Since the system is software based, as new technologies become available, the operating system can be upgraded at both the software and firmware level. This avoids obsolescence and allows you to take advantage of the technological advancements that will be offered in the future.

Each zone can have its own individual command set and source limitations. For example, if you choose a particular CD player to be used exclusively in the master bedroom and the den, the system can be programmed to restrict access to that CD player from all other zones in the house.

MODE (Music On Demand Experience) can be a dramatic enhancement to your home and your lifestyle. See why so many people have taken advantage of this unique technology and are enjoying the benefits of a simple and powerful system that will change the way you live in your home.

MODE Keypads

The backlit buttons are easy to read and provide various functions depending on the source being controlled. There is also a dedicated volume control knob with a graduated backlight visually indicating the actual volume level.

The heart of the system is the scroll wheel, which allows you to address and select the numerous menus and functions on the full color display. The process is intuitive and easily mastered be everyone in the home. Simply scroll and click on the desired menu or command and the system instantly responds.
