Introduction 

This  driver  has  been  designed  to  provide  two-way  control  of  AudioControl  M4800,  M6400 
and D4600 network amplifiers, via TCP/IP. 
 
The  package  includes  a  demonstration  file  in  smw  format  to  aid  with  integration  into  a 
Crestron  project.    Additionally,  touch  panel  designs have  been  created,  these  can  be  used 
for demonstration purposes and for compatibility testing. 
 
This Crestron module will work on Series 3 
 
There are four modules included in the package:  
 

Comms  

 
This module has three purposes: 

 

Sending and receiving commands to/from the amplifier 

 

Routing feedback to the other modules 

 

Assigning zones to groups 

 

Zone Analogue  

This  driver  handles  source  selection,  volume,  power,  EQ  and  feedback  for  a  specified 
analogue zone. There will be one instance of this driver per analogue zone. 
 

Zone Digital  

This driver handles the source selection and power control for a specified digital zone. There 
will be one instance of this driver per digital zone. 
 

Group 

This driver handles source selection, volume, power, EQ and feedback for a specified group 
of zones. There will be one instance of this driver per group.
