Octasound RASX4 4-Channel Remote Audio Zone Controller

The Octasound RASX4 is a one of a kind four-channel commercial audio selector. For the end user it is very simple to operate; select a channel and turn the volume up or down. No user manuals or constant employee training are required. For the installer, this controller is capable of chaining together to provide a facility with a multi-zone controlled audio system that is easily expandable.

By pairing the Octasound RASX4 with the RAMX2 mixer (sold separately)an array of sound system congurations can be satisifed for arenas, gyms, hotels, restaurants, retail, schools, churches, warehouses and more. The RAMX2 Line A and B outputs can be switched into any of the four input channels. This feature allows the RASX4 to turn the mixers off or on and control their maximum allowable volume. Utilizing the RAMX2 mixer’s constant level output on the extra channel (LINE B), other zone ampliers' inputs can receive an audio signal that does not vary up or down with the RAMX2 volume controls. This can be useful, to avoid the RAMX2 varying the audio levels into a hearing assist system or another acoustically isolated zone.

Throw out the ugly markers and stickers that are commonly used on other plastic panels to indicate zone control and channel selection. Octasound's RASX4 is the only audio selector system with custom engraved aluminum panels for a tough and truly professional looking system. The engraved panel prevents channel markings from being altered, or removed.

There's no need to navigate complicated menus to determine what’s playing where and how loud. One look at the RASX4 panel indicates channel selected and volume level. Bright white LED's indicate channels 1-4 and a red LED for off.

When software and computer controlled systems fail, it can leave a client with no audio for the entire facility and a hefty repair bill. The Octasound RASX4 is compatible with all audio devices and will never be obsolete. It’s audio in/out with no files, computer programming, or proprietary software to worry about.

One RASX4 audio selector controls a single zone. The expansion in and out audio ports can supply one audio source to multiple boards. Each board also provides a power in and out connector to work off of one main power supply. Adding future zones is simple with no re-programming required.

Connecting a switch to priority input activates channel 4 automatically. Wire the switch from a microphone to mute all other channels and make an announcement, or use a fire alarm pull to mute all the audio channels and activate a microphone for critical announcements.

Cold contacts from a fire alarm station can be used to priority mute the sound system and allow critical EVAC announcements to proceed uninterrupted.
