Pro audio amplifier-maker Powersoft has announced that Mezzo, its unique half-size install amplifier platform, is now compatible with Control4 smart home systems.
According to Powersoft, the release of a Control4 plug-in makes it easy for integrators to integrate Mezzo with one of the most popular systems for home automation, and signals a renewed focus on the residential market for Powersoft by partnering with Control4 and the 13,500 third-party products with which the platform is interoperable.
“We are delighted that the residential integration community will now be able to take full advantage of the Mezzo platform, which, with its compact half-rack form factor and availability in both two-channel and four-channel configurations, is the ideal solution for home, residential and commercial applications where flexibility is a must,” says Powersoft project and product manager Antonio Feo.
With the plug-in installed, a Control4 controller is able to leverage Mezzo’s dynamic routing capabilities to access standby control (power on/off), gain and mute control (for all four channels of the user EQ section), input matrix control (excluding Dante/AES67), analogue sources, and amplifier status for all connected Mezzo devices.
Mezzo’s built-in routing matrix supports up to four zones of audio, making it perfect for multiroom residential AV systems, where it can eliminate the need for expensive hardware matrices.
“By offering a more versatile and less expensive solution for networked audio, we will deliver savings for both system integrator and end users,” explains Feo.
Mezzo users can download the Control4 plug-in now from www.powersoft.com/en/mezzo-control4-plugin.
