Product Brief
Russound's C-Series Multizone kit provides a powerful, scalable and intuitive means to control and enhance your multiroom audio experience. The KT1-C5 kit includes a MCA-C5 Multizone Controller Amplifier, six MDK-C5 Multiline Display Keypads and a SRC-C5 System Remote Control. The system offers control of eight sources and zones, advanced features, and digital amplification. The MCA-C5 provides eight zones of distributed stereo audio from any of eight sources. The source loop outputs and the addition of up to five additional controllers allow for scalability to 48 zones. A variety of input options have been engineered into the MCA-C5 controller. A built-in internal AM/FM tuner with RDS (Radio Data System) support can be configured as source one. An RNET link using CAT-5e allows for metadata transmission and control of Russound RNET Smart Source components, including the SMS3 Smart Media Server, iBridge Dock and Bay, and ST2 Tuners with AM/FM and/or satellite radio. Featuring digital amplification, the MCA-C5 provides 40 watts of power per channel to zones one through six. All zones are equipped with fixed or variable line-level outputs for outboard amplification or subzone use. The MCA-C5 has a front USB port for programming ease and a rear RS-232 port for integration with home automation systems.
Custom audio settings, Party Mode, Do Not Disturb, source and zone linking, and All On/Off participation are standard features. Incorporated in the MCA-C5 is a system clock with an alarm and sleep timer, Home Theater triggers, routed and common IR outputs, and eight 12VDC trigger outputs. Source eight can serve as a paging input and loop output for connection to a third party paging or phone system. Control of the MCA-C5 is handled via the SRC-C5 System Remote Control or the MDK-C5 Multiline Display Keypad. The SRC-C5 provides simplified programming and control via intelligent IR learning capabilities. The MDK-C5 is a wallmounted, standard fit, double-gang keypad for the MCA-C5 Multizone Controller Amplifier. The keypad's gray scale LCD screen displays real-time information including playlist, channel, artist, song title, genre and more. Responsive hard buttons offer access to virtually every system feature and source control function. The buttons and screen brightness are adjustable and can be dimmed at the owners discretion. For additional control, up to two UNO-TS2 touchscreens can also be connected to each controller. Additional UNO-TS2s may be connected but require a keypad splitter (SA-ZX3). The system programming is accomplished with your PC and SCS-C5 configuration software, a free download from the Doc Center at www.russound.com.
