QR Code Link to This Post
Here is a summary of the features of this controller/amp:
The ZXP-E5 is part of Russound’s E-Series line of products, sold exclusively through Sphere Certified Integrators. Installation of the unit requires prior Russound Sphere certification. System programming requires the use of Russound‘s SCS-E5 software to program zone settings and source configurations.
The ZXP-E5 Zone Expander is a companion component of the ACA-E5 controller. It provides an additional six zones of distributed stereo audio from any of 12 input sources from the main ACA-E5 controller. Six digital amplifiers provide 40 watts of power per channel to six zones. All zones are equipped with fixed or variable line-level outputs. These allow for zone output to feed a home theater surround sound receiver or additional amplifiers to power large rooms or outdoor areas.
The ZXP-E5’s zones are controlled via the HHR-E5 remote control and the KLK-E5 Click Wheel Keypad. The KLK-E5 is a wall-mounted, standard fit double gang keypad. The touch-sensitive ring allows for easy navigation through source controls and menus, while responsive hard buttons select often-used commands such as volume up and down and power on/off.
The ZXP-E5 also supports the UNO-TS2 touchscreen, and Russound Smart Source components including the SMS3 Smart Media Server, iBridge Dock and Bay, and ST2 Tuners with satellite and AM/FM radio.
