The Russound MCA-88X digital multi-zone controller amplifier with built-in XStream™ streaming media player provides up to eight zones of distributed audio for up to 8 audio sources. Scalable to 48 zones,* the MCA-88X provides numerous options to tailor to residential or light commercial distributed audio systems. A variety of input options have been engineered into the MCA-88X to connect up to 8 total sources, all with analog audio loop outputs that can be either fixed or variable level. AV source input options include 8 Analog, 3 Digital (up to 3 coax, or 2 coax and 1 optical), 1 paging and 1 Bluetooth extender connection. The Bluetooth connection allows the installation of the MCA-88X in an equipment rack while remotely locating the optional Russound BTC-1X Bluetooth receiver up to 300’ away. Additionally, the BTC- 1X improves audio quality through the high performance aptX® audio codec. An RNET link allows for metadata transmission, linking multiple MCA controllers and connection to all Russound RNET Smart Sources such as the ST1 AM/FM external tuner. The MCA-88X is Ethernet-enabled, allowing for IP-based features and control. Russound’s IP-based open protocol, RIO (Russound I/O), allows for IP-based control systems to integrate with, control, and communicate bi-directionally with the MCA-88X. In addition to dedicated keypads and touchscreen control options, the free MyRussound™ App (iOS and Android) controls all Russound Ethernet-connected products on the LAN, including the MCA-88X and its source components.
