HARRISON, NY (November 21, 2019)—URC, a global leader in smart automation and control for residential and commercial applications, launched today a two-way IP module for integration of its award-winning Total Control system with Russound MCA controllers. The module, available today to authorized URC installers via URC’s dealer portal and also on Russound’s dealer portal, provides for easy control of Russound's MCA-66 or MCA-88 controller amplifiers using any URC Total Control touch screen, handheld remote, or the Total Control smartphone application.
“We’re constantly expanding our portfolio of integration partners for our Total Control system, and Russound is an important addition to our roster, given their long history of distributed audio,” said Lars Granoe, URC VP of Product Development. “This gives our installers more choices and maximizes their efficiency on the job.”
“Russound has a 50+ year history of leadership in distributed audio, and our award-winning MCA controller amplifiers embody our latest innovation, featuring analog and digital source switching, (including Bluetooth), integrated amplifiers, 12 volt triggers for home theater and power management, and the choice of fixed or variable output settings on select audio output channels.” Commented Charlie Porritt, CEO, of Russound. “Now that our MCA products feature two-way communication with URC Total Control system, our already flexible audio distribution system provides even more options for custom installers.”
