Multiple control methods bring flexibility and value
to all g! installations. The M86A accommodates up
to 12 TS2 touchpads (two per zone), also linking
ELAN VIA!Net controlled devices. Source specific
IR outputs control each of the systems eight audio
sources. The six sense input triggers are used for
conditional programming and to activate events like
a lights-on sequence at night with a garage door
opening. The unit also provides connections for
Page and Doorbell options with the C2 Communi-
cations Controller.
The M86A has the switching muscle to bring all the
benefits of g! IP-based, multiroom control to the
most expansive and sophisticated of client installa-
tions. With eight audio sources and six zones, the
M86A can be stacked to support up to 24 zones.
Driven by a cool running 30 Watt per channel
internal amplifier, the unit also features 12 variable
or fixed preamp outputs to feed external amplifiers.
This allows extra power for either outdoor coverage
or a large zone with multiple speakers. Buffered
loop audio outputs allow for system expansion or
sources to be shared with home theater compo-
nents without signal degradation. Programmable
turn-on settings allow independent zone control for
bass, treble and volume with “on-the-fly” adjust-
ments. Also source leveling matches the volume of
each audio source input for smooth source switch-
ing.The M86A also features source level matching
so the volume of each audio source input matches
the other for smooth source switching.
Also Available in 240VAC Version (Order No. M86A-240)
