1. Introduction
The Xantech MRKP2E is a full-featured zone controller specifically designed for
multi-room systems based on the MX88 series, MRC88m, or MRAUDIO8x8m
multi-room controllers. It has been designed to take advantage of all major
features and capabilities of the MX88. The MRKP2E features hard buttons for
source selection, volume control, mute, and power. It is also capable of
controlling all connected sources via hard buttons, its super-bright TFT LCD
touch-screen, or its built-in IR receiver.
The Xantech MX88 System sets a new standard in whole-house audio/video
distribution, audio amplification, and control/automation. The MX88 System
consists of the MX88 controller/amplifier, keypads or touch-panels to control
each zone, and wireless or wired web-enabled devices such as the Apple®
iPad® for controlling all zones and the entire system. When combined with IR,
RS232, or IP controlled (IP on select models only) meta-data-rich audio/video
sources and home automation components, the MX88 becomes a very capable
and self-contained system for controlling virtually everything within a
household.

Definitions
Zone
A Zone is defined as an area of the house that has separate source selection
capabilities from all other areas of the house. Typically, a zone is comprised of
a single room, but it is possible for a zone to spread across multiple rooms
(kitchen/dining room, master bedroom/master bath) or for multiple zones to be
contained in one room (game room/bar area or multiple zones in the yard).
Source
A Source is any audio (or audio/video) device that is connected to the MX88
source input. Any Source can be heard or viewed in any zone in the system.
