High-resolution multi-room audio offering
features new single-zone streaming amplifier, power amplifiers, and
audio matrix switches.
– CEDIA Expo 2017 – In a move to transform the listening
experience in the smart home, Control4 Corporation (NASDAQ:
CTRL), a leading global provider of smart home solutions, today
announces the immediate availability of an extensive Triad®-branded
line of high-resolution audio products. The new line includes the
Triad AMS-24 and AMS-8 Audio Matrix Switches, Triad 8-Zone Power
Amplifier, and Triad One Streaming Amplifier. Control4 has also
added two music services with native integration into Control4 EA
Controllers including iHeartRadio® and Spotify®.
Over 65 percent of Control4 homeowners enjoy multi-room audio,
affirming entertainment as a fundamental feature of a Control4
Smart Home. To enhance the audio experience for customers, in
January 2016, Control4 introduced its EA Series controllers
featuring high-resolution audio. Furthering its commitment to
high-quality audio, in February 2017, the company acquired Triad
Speakers, Inc., a leader in advanced speaker technology with
best-in-class, custom speaker solutions.
“Our new Triad multi-room audio products are designed to deliver
high-resolution audio in every corner of the home, from the source
to the listener’s ears,” said Martin Plaehn, Control4 CEO.
“Beautiful sound, elegant design, and high-performance are the core
tenets inspiring the development of the new Triad multi-room audio
lineup. Coupled with Triad’s comprehensive range of build-to-order
premium speakers for home theaters, family rooms, whole-home or
multi-room audio, and outdoor environments, the Triad product
family is a very strong go-to high-fidelity audio solution for our
worldwide dealers and end-customers.”
Triad AMS-24 and AMS-8 Audio Matrix SwitchesRecognizing
that dealers need audio solutions for large and small projects that
deliver multi-room optimization and clean sound, Control4 rolls out
two new high-resolution audio matrix switches that enable
homeowners to enjoy music from 8 to 96 separate zones anywhere in
the home. The Triad Audio Matrix Switches distribute audio sources
throughout the home so that homeowners can listen to any source in
any room, in stunning, ultra-clear, high-resolution. Equipped with
digital coaxial, optical, and analog inputs to connect a broad
range of source devices, the new audio matrix switches deliver an
astounding -105 dB signal-to-noise ratio to maintain sound quality
throughout the home. Each audio output can be adjusted with
independent gain, bass, treble, 10-band parametric equalizer,
balance, loudness, and mono-summing controls for precise audio
customization in each room or audio zone. The ultra-compact design
conserves precious rack space utilizing only 1RU and 2RU for the
AMS-8 and AMS-24, respectively.
The Triad 8-Zone Power AmplifierThe new Triad Audio
Matrix Switches can be paired with the new Triad 8-Zone Power
Amplifier (AMP-8) to deliver flexible and scalable audio
amplification for installations of any size. The Triad AMP-8
delivers eight zones of high-resolution amplification with an
extraordinary -109 dB signal-to-noise ratio and 0.003 percent total
harmonic distortion for exceptional audio throughout the entire
home. The AMP-8 is designed to centralize audio amplification,
hiding away clutter and electronics while delivering exceptional
high-resolution sound for the entire home. The compact design is
built around proven, powerful and reliable ICEpower technology
delivering 100 watts per channel from eight zones and only 1RU of
rack space. When extra power is needed, AMP-8 is bridgeable to 200
watts per channel. Superior audio quality and fast
wake-from-standby make this amplifier ideal for audio in any
home.
Triad One Streaming AmplifierTriad One is a single-zone,
high-resolution, wired and wireless streaming amplifier. It is slim
and powerful and the most flexible way to put music in any room of
a home. Simply plug in power and connect to a wired or wireless
network, connect it to the Control4 system, and the Triad One can
play music, from local files or streaming music services, without
the need to pull speaker wire back to a central location. Triad One
boasts 100 watts of power per channel with an impressive -107 dB
signal-to-noise level and support for high-resolution audio
playback up to 192kHz/24bit, for incredible sound in any room. Also
included is a built-in 10-band parametric equalizer delivering
exceptional sound output and room optimization.
Equipped with digital and analog audio inputs, the Triad One
distributes and synchronizes local audio sources, such as
television audio, turntable or media players, over the IP network
throughout a larger audio system. Triad One is a great solution to
power speakers and soundbars in a bedroom, kitchen or other
location and includes IR outputs to control TVs and other local
devices. A line-level subwoofer output rounds out the Triad One for
deep bass when connected to a powered subwoofer. Triad One is
available in white and black and can be installed horizontally or
vertically on either a bookshelf, mounted behind a TV, or in the
rack.
