ACW-05 is a networked 4” touchscreen controller, answering the need for intuitive audio control over APEX installation amplifiers.
In addition to simple volume control, mutes, level meters, and source selection, ACW-05 has an integral Bluetooth input, allowing BYOD (bring your own device) capability.
Systems integrators can quickly configure ACW-05 wall plates remotely from any device with a web browser via the new ACW Manager WebUI.
Each controller can access any number of APEX CloudPower amplifiers on the same network over WiFi or Ethernet. Audio zones can be created using channels from multiple amplifiers.
ACW-05 may be PoE or AC mains powered and fits into standard US and EU wall boxes.
The addition of ACW-05 makes APEX installation amplifiers a competitive option for projects requiring simple, safe, hands-on audio control, but where a more complex DSP or AV control system would be unnecessary or outside the budget.
Its intuitive user interface makes ACW-05 ideal for use by non-technical operators in education, retail, hospitality, fitness, conferencing, worship and beyond.
The ability to power ACW-05 using AC voltage within existing wall boxes while transferring data over WiFi also makes this a straightforward retrofit for existing installations.
