L-TRONIK MX-881 - Remote volume control and zone selection panel for MX-880 matrix (RS-485 up to 1 km)

L-TRONIK MX-881 - Remote volume control and zone selection panel for MX-880 matrix (RS-485 up to 1 km)

The L-TRONIK MX-881 is a wall-mounted microprocessor panel for local zone control in systems based on the MX-880 (8x8) matrix . It allows you to select the zone's source/channel and adjust the volume from the panel itself, with a channel indicator light that facilitates operation by non-technical personnel. It installs in a universal wall box and features a brushed aluminum finish , offering discreet and professional integration.

Communication with the matrix is ​​via RS-485 over Cat 5 cable and an RJ-45 connector , with a maximum range of 1 km between panel and rack, ideal for extensive installations. Designed for modular deployment, the recommendation is one panel per zone , ensuring independent control in each area. Its 86 × 86 × 33 mm format and 0.5 kg weight simplify flush mounting and maintenance.
