Model MRC88m / MRAUDIO8x8m Page: 11© 2009 Xantech CorporationCONTROLLER/AMPLIFIER FEATURES• Zones: Eight, expandable to 16-zones with the addition of a second Controller/Amplifier and additionalkeypads• Sources: Eight audio AND VIDEO sources (Video applies to MRC88m only). Any zone can select anysource. Same 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 sourcecan control itLink mode – multiple zones can be linked together to act as a single zone for source selection andcontrol. 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 audioinputs allowing each zone to have its own dedicated Audio Source by selectingsource-one.• IR Learning: IR commands can be learned from external hand-held remotes through theController/Amplifier’s built-in IR learning eye or they can be generated from the MRC88m’s built-in IR codelibrary. Internal IR Code Library: Built in IR Code Library. Contains all Major Brand Component IR commands. Noneed to ‘learn’ commands.• Macros: can be built using IR, audio control, RS232, repeat or delay commands and associated with aspecific button or event. They can be triggered by a keypad button press, an RC68+ IR code, anMRC88m compatible keypad command, control sense status, video sense status or by RS232. Upto 40 IR commands can be issued in a single Macro.• Audio/Video loop-through on all Eight source inputs (Video applies to MRC88m only)• Power Management: Keeps all components Power States in-sync with Zone Power StatusAll Eight video source inputs have built-in NTSC/PAL sync sensing (Applies toMRC88m Only)All Eight sources have current sense inputs for use with a CSM1 Current Sensor• Preamp Outs for all Eight zonesFrequency response: 12 Hz to 55KHz (±3dB)THD: <0.08%.Signal-to-noise ratio: > 96dB A-weighted• Amplification: Zones 1 through 6 have built-in stereo audio amplifiers at 35 Watts per channelZones 7 and 8 are designed to be used with external amplifiers, ideally with either thePA435X (for two zones of stereo audio at 35 Watts per channel) or the PA4100X (fortwo zones of stereo audio at 100 Watts per channel) with built-in POWER and MUTEcontrol via Control Ports CO1 and CO2• Eight zone-specific video outputs (Applies to MRC88m only)• IR Emitter Outputs: Eight source-specific IR emitter outputsOne common IR emitter outputEight zone-specific IR emitter outputsEight in-the-zone IR emitter outputs via the MRC88m Keypad rear panel emitter output- permitting IR commands originating in the zone to be looped back to the zoneallowing the MRC88m to control components physically located in the zone• Status Outputs: Eight zone-specific 12V status outputsOne common 12V status output (Labeled Control Out)• RS232 Com/USB Com (Front Panel): Communications port used to program the system using DragonDrop-IR™ Software RS232 COM PORT (Rear): Allows the Controller/Amplifier to be controlled by a PC or other RS232 deviceOR to control other devices that communicate via RS232 such as certain hometheater components, lighting or HVAC devices EXPANSION PORT: Allows connection to another MRC88m or MRAUDIO8x8m for 16 Zones of seamlesscontrol. Can also be used as an additional RS232 Control port (requiresXantech Part Number 05913665)• Eight MRC88m Keypad connections - RJ45 connectors / CAT5 cable |
