UNO-S2 Keypad (for CAV6.6 and CAM6.6X only)

Ergonomic experts agree the most important component in a multi-room system is the user interface. For your customers, it is the product!

UNO-S2 is the industry's most attractive and intuitive keypad - and brimming with features.

Change radio stations, view XM or Sirius Radio channel details (with a Russound ST2, ST2-XM, ST2-XM2, or ST2S tuner), pause, select tracks or change CDs with the push of a button. Set bass, treble, balance and loudness levels for each room. Turn the entire system on or off from any keypad. The UNO-S2 does all that and more with ease.

A-VC2 Amplified Volume Control Module (for A-BUS)

The A-VC2 is the latest alternative to clunky, mechanical in-wall volume controls. The A-VC2 is an A-BUS amplified manual volume control.

Russound’s UNO-TS2 Smart Color Touchscreen is a simple-to-use wall-mounted interface packed with friendly features. Practical in any room, it offers complete control of your listening and viewing experience.

The UNO-TS2 is an exciting new way to control a multiroom entertainment system.

And it supports custom presets, music themes, and source names for a personal touch.

The UNO-TS2 uses a mix of hard buttons for the most frequent commands and graphical soft keys for content-related functions. The high-resolution LCD panel is easy to read and displays the system’s status in real time, including the source playing, the selected AM/FM radio station or XM channel, and the volume level in the zone it’s controlling.

The UNO-TS2 also provides one-touch access to favorite CDs, DVDs, and MP3 play lists. An integrated IR receiver supports the use of the UNO-LRC1 system remote and other remotes as well.

UNO-TS2D Desktop Color Touchscreen

NetStreams Musica® Keypad

NetStreams’ Musica Distributed Audio system is designed to deliver superior audio performance and features interactive keypads that are very easy to operate/use. The advanced design of the Musica MU5066 system places digital amplifiers in each room, behind each keypad, rather than in one central location. This improves sound quality by reducing noise, distortion and power losses as well as increasing reliability and simplifying the installation. Any MU5066 keypad can be upgraded to include a digital FM Tuner for in-room FM Tuner listening, allowing every room an independent selection of radio stations. The Musica MU4602 Distributed Audio system can do the same with the inclusion of the MU4602KP50FM keypad.

NetStreams Quartet in-wall keypads are easy to use and operate. You can control volume, select sources, pause, play, shuffle, repeat the previous track, go to the next track, fast forward, stop, use the intercom, change modes and more. Measuring less than 1-inch deep, these attractive, slim keypads feature two (2) RJ45 connectors and fit standard Decora® white face plates - perfect for your home décor. Now you can have great audio quality and the convenience of a built-in intercom without the hassle or expense of installing a separate intercom system.

Channel Plus MCS-1A Keypad

The MCS-1A Speaker Zone Control Keypad is designed as an in-room control for the MDS-6A Music Distribution System. In a typical installation, an MCS-1A (or MCS-2A) would be installed in each listening room or location to control the speakers in that zone. The MCS-1A mounts in a standard single-gang electrical box and is covered by a standard Decora® wall plate.

The Model MCS-1A source keys are used to select which audio source device (CD, TUNER, TAPE, DVD, DBS, TV, etc.) will be played from its specific speaker zone. The speaker’s volume can be adjusted, or muted, using the keys on the Zone Controller.

Any infrared remote control code sent to the MCS-1A from a handheld remote will be repeated to source devices through the MDS-6A.

Two special features are available for each Zone Controller. The "whole-house-music" feature will play a selected audio source from all of the system’s speaker zones. The "do-not-disturb" feature prevents a speaker zone from responding to "whole-house-music" commands from other Zone Controllers and mutes any system wide pages to that speaker zone.

The MCS-1A keys can light in three colors (green, red, & yellow) to show the status of the speaker zone. The optional key backlighting lights all of the keys with a pleasant green glow.

Channel Plus MCS-2A Keypad

The Model MCS-2A source keys are used to select which audio source device (CD, TUNER, TAPE, DVD, DBS, TV, etc.) will be played from its specific speaker zone. The speaker’s volume can be adjusted, or muted, using the keys on the Zone Controller. Function keys for PLAY, STOP, PAUSE, SKIP FORWARD, SKIP BACKWARD, NEXT TRACK, and PREVIOUS TRACK are provided to control the source device action. Numeric keys allow direct access to numeric selection functions of the source device. Custom "macros" can be programmed into the MCS-2A to perform multiple commands.

Pre-programmed infrared remote control codes for over 500 types of audio sources can be selected for each audio source key. In addition, infrared remote control codes can be "learned" into the Zone Controller directly from the source device’s handheld remote control and assigned to almost any key on the controller. To make system setup easy, once the infrared codes are programmed into one Zone Controller, the same codes can easily be sent to other MCS-2As in the system using the "clone" feature. Any infrared code send to the MCS-2A from a handheld remote will be repeated to all source devices through the MDS-6A.

Two special features are available for each Zone Controller. The "whole-house-music" feature will play a selected audio source from all of the system’s speaker zones. The "do-not-disturb" feature prevents a speaker zone from responding to "whole-house-music" commands from other Zone Controllers and mutes any system wide pages to that speaker zone.

The MCS-2A keys can light in three colors (green, red, & yellow) to show the status of the speaker zone. The optional key backlighting lights all of the keys with a pleasant green glow.
