Optimal Audio has announced a new 8-inch touchscreen wall controller: ZonePad 8.
ZonePad 8 provides clear and intuitive access to the controls of up to eight zones within an Optimal Audio commercial audio system. With an 8-inch IPS touch display and tempered glass capacitive touch panel, it is user friendly, with the capability to manage complex audio systems.
ZonePad 8 enables intuitive control of source switching, level and microphone inputs, as well as triggering advanced features, including routines or message playback in up to eight zones. It provides advanced device configuration, setting access to individual zones and permission settings over the functions available to each zone for dynamic commercial environments.
Its integration with Optimal Audio Zone controllers, quad-core processor, and secure design ensures reliable and responsive control tailored to any venue’s needs. Power is delivered via POE from a compatible router or switch, and for venues where the installer cannot run cables, ZonePad 8 can be powered locally with an optional 12V power supply and connect to the network and Zone controller via Wi-Fi.
‘Feedback from our customers highlighted the demand for a more sophisticated wall controller for use with our Zone controllers that acts as a sophisticated plug-and-play device with no setup or ability to misuse,’ says Product Manager, David Morbey. ‘Our WebApp interface is directly delivered to a custom app in ZonePad 8, which auto-runs upon power-up and detects audio zone processors on the same network.
‘The device is POE powered, ensuring ease of installation and reduced wiring complexity. The product supports surface mounting, and is supplied with mounting plate, compatible with UK, EU and US backboxes. It’s everything an Optimal Audio product should be, simple to use, powerful in its application.’
