BSS EC-8BV Ethernet Controller with 8 Buttons and Volume Control BSSEC8BVBLKM
The Soundweb Contrio EC-8BV is an Ethernet wall controller for use in Harman HiQnet systems. The EC-8BV can control and monitor parameters within BSS Audio Soundweb London and other HiQnet devices, including Crown DCi series amplifiers. The EC-8BV supports 'sleep' functionality. After a specified amount of time with no user input, the EC-8BV can turn off all LEDs. This is useful to avoid distraction in a dimly lit environment. Any user interaction will 'wake up' the controller. |

This means that power and control is passed over a single connected Cat 5e cable. HiQnet Compatiblity In addition to being able to control Soundweb London parameters, the EC-8BV is able to control other HiQnet devices, including the Crown DriveCore Install Series amplifiers. Sleep Function After a specified amount of time with no user input, the EC-8BV can turn off all LEDs. This is useful to avoid distraction in a dimly lit environment. Any user interaction will 'wake up' the controller. Multicolored Feedback The EC-8BV has 8 multicolored buttons, 8 corresponding multicolored screen positions and a multicolored encoder ring. 8 unique colors (red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta, white and amber) can be used to signify different zones and their associated parameters. The maximum intensity of the LEDs can be adjusted to suit ambient light levels. Lockout Function The EC-8BV can be locked during the Sleep Function or at any other time. A 4-digit PIN must be entered in order to unlock the controller. Encoder and Encoder Ring Normally, the encoder ring will show a bouncing meter for the currently selected zone. When a volume adjustment is made, the encoder ring will show the volume level in the appropriate zone color. After a timeout, the encoder ring returns to showing the bouncing meter. On/off color states can be assigned to the push function. The first push of the encoder will show the current state of the assigned parameter on the whole encoder ring and any subsequent push will toggle the state of the parameter. Buttons A dimly illuminated button indicates an available source, preset or parameter. A brightly illuminated button indicates a currently selected source, preset or parameter. Sources, presets and parameters are represented in the appropriate zone color. Color Options The EC-8BV is available in black or white to fit elegantly within its surroundings. Shape Options The EC-8BV is available in dual-gang decora or dual-gang EU shapes.
