The 85mm square front-panel WMR is designed to fit a standard UK lighting switch back-box or pattress, and is wired to the MICROzone amplifier/controller using Cat 5 cable with RJ45 connectors. Providing full control for a remotely located MICROzone, the unit duplicates the front panel functions for source selection, mute, standby and volume. It also houses an infrared receiver to allow for use of the IR remote control unit supplied with the MICROzone.
"The future of installed sound for background music and AV is with a greater emphasis on style and ease of use," comments Audica's Derek West. "With more and more systems being computer and media player driven, the end user no longer wants visible hardware - just simple, convenient control. In keeping with all Audica products, we've designed a product that is easy to install and operate with aesthetics that are as equally suited to the executive suite or boardroom as they are to the bar."
The unit is finished in solid brushed aluminium with a pearl white Perspex surround that hides the fixing screws.
