SpeakerCraft MZC-66
What good does a whole-house audio system do if the only control switch is on the other side of the house? By combining maximum control with flexible ease of use, SpeakerCraft has designed a Multi-Zone Controller for six sources and six zones. Simply connect your DVD, CD, satellite, VCR or any other source of audio or video, and then control any of them with a touch of a keypad button from any of six different zones in your home. Get creative: control music sources, lighting, paging and video from within any zone. Six master keypads have built-in IR receivers to control your system, and they come with a number of different-colored faceplates to suit your decor. This six-source, six-zone controller offers 12 channels of 30-watt digital amplification for efficiency in a reasonably sized rack mount chassis. Additional features of this Ethernet-capable system include telephone paging and doorbell mute.

About SpeakerCraft
SpeakerCraft started in 1976 as an audio retailer. Along the way we became a custom installation company, installing multi-room audio systems. SpeakerCraft is now one of the world's leading manufacturer of custom installation products, and their background as a custom installer and retailer has provided pretty good idea of what it is you want from a manufacturer. Their goal is to develop innovative designs utilizing some of the most state-of-the-art components and materials. Those efforts have earned many industry awards for products that break tradition and go a step forward to bring you tomorrow's technology today. For instance, SpeakerCraft was the first to invent in-wall speaker installation systems that do not require installing brackets in the wall first. They have improved the in-ceiling round speaker by inventing a method to greatly improve the high frequency response with a device called the WavePlane. First to produce pivoting tweeters and on some models the whole speaker pivots while still remaining flush with the ceiling. These innovations eliminate the placement concerns of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers. With SpeakerCraft speakers you now can enjoy your beautiful interiors without sacrificing sound or quality and with the comfort of knowing that those speakers carry a lifetime warranty.
