Remote Technologies Incorporated (RTI) is now shipping its next-generation AD-4x and AD-8x audio distribution systems that were announced at CEDIA Expo. The entry-level 4×4 and 8x8p provide switching, amplification and distribution for whole-house or facility-wide audio.

Features include:

• Built-in Ethernet for two-way control and feedback over the LAN
• New Web-based interfaces for simple configuration via any Ethernet-enabled device
• Matrix switching pre-amp
• Built-in 25 watt-per-channel Cool Power amplifier
• Four and eight local audio source inputs
• Two-way control of audio sources
• Current status information, such as selected source, volume level, and tone control settings available for each zone
• Pre-outputs for the connection of amplifiers

Up to eight AD-4x and AD-8x units can be stacked for a maximum of 64 output zones. To simplify operation, the units’ Web interface allows multiple zones in a larger room or area to be grouped as a single zone for source selection and volume control. The units can be used for rackmount or free-standing installations. The AD-4x and AD-8x are available now at MSRPs of $899 and $1,799, respectively.
