Systemline Introduces S6.2 - An Advanced New Central 'Controller' For Multi-room Home Entertainment Systems

Systemline, the European leaders in custom installed multi-room entertainment, is very pleased to introduce 'S6.2', its advanced new central controller. The new S6.2 is the heart of a modern multi-room system, offering the high level of systems integration and flexibility demanded by the designers of today's state-of-the-art customised multi-room installations.

Systemline is a brand of Armour Home. Paul Hilditch, their Product Manager responsible for Systemline stated: "The new S6.2 builds on the success of Systemline's previous model the S6, a market leader for the past three years."

Mr Hilditch continued: "Unusually, for larger projects, two S6.2 units can be used in tandem, which means up to 16 zones (rooms) can be supported. A new Ethernet socket allows the two units to communicate with each other; so a touch screen keypad located in a room and connected to one S6.2, can control a device connected to the second S6.2."

This means up to 6 audio/video sources can be distributed to (and controlled from) up to 16 independent rooms. In addition, each of the 16 rooms can also have a 'local' source, for example an iPod or smartphone containing personal playlists. A range of leading video matrix switches, including HDMI, can be plugged into S6.2 allowing simultaneous switching of audio and video signals into each room. Other systems such as Nevo, KNX or Lutron can now turn a room on, select a source and alter the volume using the RS232 control socket.

Systemline supply a range of matching keypads and touch screens, epitomising both elegance and simplicity, which reinforce the S6.2's intuitive user interface.

Naturally, to coincide with the launch of the new controller, a dedicated training course has been developed to support the product and its installers.

S6.2 is available now from authorised Systemline installers throughout the UK.
