The MCA-88X features 6 zones of advanced digital amplification,
providing 40 watts of power per channel. All 8 zones are equipped
with fixed or variable line-level outputs for outboard amplification,
wireless expansion, or subzone use. Additionally, an RS-232 port
for integration with serial-connected home automation systems
is available for utilization on the rear panel of the MCA-88X.
Custom audio settings, party modes, do not disturb, source and
zone linking, and all-on/all-off participation are standard features
available on the MCA-88X. In addition the MCA-88X has alarm
and sleep timers, a Home Theater trigger and one 12VDC trigger,
output for power management and control. Source 8 can serve
as a paging input and loop output for connection to a 3rd-party
paging or phone system.
With Russound MDK-C6, SLK-1 keypads, TS3, XTS
touchscreens, or the MyRussound app, the MCA-88X
communicates vital information, such as preset names, station
ID, artist, song titles, and album art (information dependent
on the capabilities of the source being used). The simpler
SLK-1 keypad can also be used for areas where basic control
is sufficient, such as entry/exit areas of a home or business or
any area where the MyRussound App might be the predominant
control interface.
