S8.6AVP Multi-Room A/V ControllerBased on the award-winning technologies of ELAN’s S6 and S12 Multi-Room Controllers, the new S8.6AV and S8.6AVP combine all the virtues of our most affordable, entry-level system with the powerful features and flexibility of our flagship model to bring you the most versatile, scalable, and feature-rich multi-room entertainment systems available today.
Eight audio/video inputs allow you to choose from all your favorite music and video sources – CDs, DVDs, Satellite Radio, TV - even everything on your iPod®. Enjoy the sights and sounds of all these and more, independently, in six different rooms. Up to four controllers can be linked together, providing you with complete flexibility to create customized systems just right for your home.
Both models incorporate many powerful features such as bass, treble, loudness EQ and programmable turn-on levels for each zone, whole-house music, and A/V source-sensing for system feedback at keypads and touch panels; all at a price that defies common industry trends.
The S8.6AVP is the PreAmp-only version of the S8.6AV, and gives you the flexibility to customize the power delivered to each room. Choose from seven ELAN amplifiers that encompass both analog and digital state-of-the-art technologies and provide you with a wide range of channel and power options.
You’ll always feel comfortable and confident when it comes to controlling your house-wide entertainment, because S8 Multi-Room Controllers allow you to do it your way. Compatible with all of ELAN’s award-winning user interfaces, the S8.6AV and S8.6AVP can be controlled from any room with your choice of volume controls, basic keypads, the groundbreaking Olé™ Film Interactive Touchpad, or a selection of in-wall, tabletop, under-cabinet, and wireless color touch panels. From basic to advanced, ELAN has a user-friendly solution for every room.
