Overview of BSS EC-V US (WHT) Ethernet Controller with Volume Control (White)
The BSS Audio EC-V-WHT-US is a sleek and versatile rotary wall-mount Ethernet controller designed for seamless integration within Harman HiQnet systems. This white-finished controller provides intuitive control and monitoring capabilities for a wide range of devices, including BSS Audio Soundweb London processors and Crown DCi series amplifiers. The EC-V is available in both black and white finishes and fits perfectly in a single-gang US Decora form factor, ensuring a clean and professional appearance in any installation.
The EC-V-WHT-US features a single push/rotary encoder and an encoder ring, both of which are multi-color backlit with adjustable intensity. The push/rotary encoder can be rotated for continuous parameter control, such as volume adjustment, and can also be pressed for binary parameter control, such as muting or preset recall. The encoder ring adds visual feedback by displaying a bouncing audio meter, which temporarily changes to indicate volume settings when the encoder is rotated, or binary parameter status (e.g., muted/unmuted) when the encoder is pressed.
The EC-V is designed with user experience in mind, offering a 'sleep' function that automatically turns off all LEDs after a period of inactivity, reducing distractions in dimly lit environments. The controller instantly 'wakes up' with any user interaction, ensuring it is always ready for immediate use. The EC-V also supports remote lock and unlock functionality via other control systems, providing an added layer of security for installations in public or sensitive areas.
Connectivity and power for the EC-V are handled through a single Ethernet port, which supports Power over Ethernet (P). This simplifies installation by eliminating the need for separate power supplies, making it easier to install the controller in a variety of locations. Configuration, control, and monitoring of the EC-V are achieved through the HiQnet Audio Architect software, utilizing drag-and-drop operations for a straightforward and user-friendly setup.
The EC-V-WHT-US provides a reliable and flexible solution for controlling and monitoring audio systems within Harman HiQnet environments. Its intuitive rotary control, customizable encoder ring, and sleek design make it an excellent choice for any installation requiring efficient and user-friendly operation.
