Xantech MRC88M 8 Zone 8 Source A/V Controller

The The Xantech MRC88M is an eight-source, eight-zone A/V distribution amplifier that allows the control and distribution of eight separate source components to eight different zones, with the capacity to expand to up to sixteen zones of control and distribution (by coupling two MRC88M units together). The MRC88M allows control of source components through both RS232 and IR.

• Zones: Eight, expandable to 16-zones with the addition of a second Controller/Amplifier and additional keypads
• 8 Zones: 6 zones -  2 x 35W per channel and 2 zones pre-amp out only
• Sources: Eight audio AND VIDEO sources. Any zone can select any source. Same source can be selected in multiple zones. 
• Several modes of control:

1. Whole-house mode – selection and control of any source from any zone.
2. Priority mode – any zone can select and monitor a source, but only the first zone to select that source can control it
3. 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.
4. 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.
• Programming: Easily programmed through Xantech's Universal Dragon-Drop IR Software
• 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 MRC88M’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 MRC88M 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-through on all Eight source inputs
• Power Management: Intelligent power management for positive device control through video and current sense on al; 8 source inpus
• Preamp Outs 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 6 have built-in stereo audio amplifiers at 35 Watts per channel. Zones 7 and 8 are designed to be used with external amplifiers, ideally with either the PA435X (for two zones of stereo audio at 35 Watts per channel) or the PA4100X (for two zones of stereo audio at 100 Watts per channel) with built-in POWER and MUTE control via Control Ports CO1 and CO2
• Eight zone-specific video outputs
• IR Emitter Outputs: 16 routable IR ports
• RS232: Two routable bi-directional RS232 ports.
• EXPANSION PORT: Allows connection to another MRC88m for 16 Zones of seamless control. Can also be used as an additional RS232 Control port 
• Eight Keypad connections - RJ45 connectors / CAT5 cable
• Compatible with Xantech's SmartPad SPLCD controllers and MRKP1 keypads
• Add Multi-Room IP control with the MRIP web interface.
