PX-700 Product Description
Description
The PX-700 Multi-Room Controller is a six zone, multi-room, multi-source
audio system controller that is easily set up with Audioaccess Installation
Manager, Audioaccess’ proprietary Windows
®
application. Installation
Manager will program all the functions of a PX-700 installation including
the configuration settings of the MA-361 Twelve Channel Digital Amplifier
and the VX-241 Video Matrix Switcher.
Designed and manufactured by Madrigal Audio Laboratories, the PX-700
audio section delivers the performance associated with high-quality, separate
audio components. The PX-700 chassis fits standard rack-mount shelves.
Together with wall-mounted keypads and handheld remotes, the PX-700
allows direct access and control of eight different audio sources in six separate
Zones. Each Zone can control any five separate sources via the KPS Keypad.
All eight sources are accessible from an ATC Touchscreen Controller and
Audioaccess dedicated remote controls. Up to six PX-700s can be connected
to form a 36-zone installation. Link an unused Zone to another Zone or link
multiple Zones to create a Zone with several Rooms.
The PX-700 is programmed exclusively with Installation Manager, a propri-
etary Windows
®
application. With Installation Manager, the installer creates
and maintains a comprehensive Infrared (IR) Library, which is then used to
configure control over the source components in an installation. The IR codes
only need to be learned once for use in all projects. Installation Manager also
allows the installer to define any number of short, long, and remote button
presses, which can be assigned to both the keypads and remotes. Any number
of IR commands can be sent with each press. Because of the open architecture
of the program, multiple high-capacity CD Changers or DSS receivers can
easily be used in a single Installation. IR programming, source assignments,
turn-on source defaults, input level matching, group assignments and other
programming options may be configured prior to the physical installation or
at the job site. Once completed, the project is downloaded to the PX-700 via
an RS-232 input on the rear panel or a convenient PC Link Jack on the front
panel of the controller.
