MCA-88 - 8 SOURCE 8 ZONE CONTROLLER AMPLIFIER
The Russound MCA-88 Digital multi-zone controller amplifier provides up to eight zones of distributed audio, for up to 8 audio sources. Scalable to 48 zones, the MCA-88 provides numerous options to tailor to residential or light commercial distributed audio systems. A variety of input options have been engineered into the MCA-88 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-88 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.
