Multiple control methods bring flexibility and value
to all g! installations. The M86A accomodates up to
12 TS2 touchpads (two per zone) while 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! multiroom control to the most expan-
sive and sophisticated of client installations. 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 components without
signal degradation. Programmable turn-on settings
allow independent zone control for bass, treble and
volume with “on-the-fly” adjustments. Also source
leveling matches the volume of each audio source
input for smooth source switching.
Also Available in 240VAC Version (Order No. M86A-240)
