S6 Integrated Multi-Room ControllerWith more sources, more zones, more power and more features than any other basic multi-room system, the System6 (S6) is the logical one-box-solution for entry-level multi-source/multi-zone audio distribution.
The S6 is a six-source by six-zone integrated audio preamp controller and power amplifier. It allows up to six audio sources to be accessed independently by up to 12 keypads located in six separate zones. And with 12 channels of amplification at 40 watts per channel built right in, the S6 provides the kind of sound quality you’ve come to expect from ELAN.
The S6 is compatible with all ELAN keypads and touch panels, and, unlike other basic multi-zone systems, the S6 sends important user-feedback to keypads and touch panels connected to the system, giving you the status of Power, Source Selected, Do-Not-Disturb, Whole-House Music, System On/Off, Zone On/Off, Mute and more.
Expanding the system for more rooms of audio is made easy with the six Zone Preamp Outputs. Want to add ELAN telephone features or video switching? The S6 interfaces easily with the COM2 Communications Controller and V883 / Z·880 Video Controllers.
