BSS EC-4B-BLK-US Ethernet Controller with 4 Buttons - Black US Decora Version

Versatile Ethernet Controller for HiQnet Systems
The BSS EC-4B Ethernet Controller is a powerful and user-friendly wall controller designed to work within Harman HiQnet systems. This device is ideal for controlling and monitoring a variety of parameters in BSS Audio Soundweb London devices, Crown DCi series amplifiers, and other HiQnet-enabled equipment. With its Ethernet connectivity and simple drag-and-drop configuration, the EC-4B offers seamless control, making it an essential tool for both residential and professional audio setups.

Easy Setup and Configuration with Audio Architect
Configuring the BSS EC-4B is straightforward using the HiQnet Audio Architect software. The drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to assign functions to the four buttons and set up the LCD screen, even for users with minimal technical experience. This simplifies the setup process, allowing you to quickly integrate the EC-4B into your existing audio network. Whether you’re managing audio in a large venue, corporate environment, or residential space, the EC-4B ensures a smooth and efficient integration process.

Advanced Control with Programmable Buttons and LCD
The BSS EC-4B features four programmable buttons that provide versatile control over your audio devices. Each button is multi-color backlit, offering eight color options with adjustable intensity. These buttons can be customized for binary parameter control, such as mute or volume adjustments, preset recalls, or source selection. The included 64x128-pixel LCD screen is also multi-color and allows for the display of custom text, ensuring users can easily monitor system status or change settings at a glance. The visual feedback provided by both the buttons and LCD enhances the user experience and makes controlling your system more intuitive.

Sleep Function for Energy Efficiency and Distraction-Free Environments
The EC-4B includes a sleep function that automatically dims or turns off the LEDs after a specified period of inactivity. This feature is especially useful in environments where a clean, distraction-free display is essential, such as in conference rooms or home theaters. The controller’s LEDs will wake up with any user interaction, ensuring it’s always ready when you need it. This sleep function not only reduces power consumption but also ensures the device remains discreet in dimly lit spaces.

Security Features for Enhanced Control
To ensure secure and controlled usage, the EC-4B offers both remote and local locking capabilities. You can lock or unlock the controller remotely via other HiQnet control systems, or locally through a secure four-digit PIN entry on the device. This added layer of security is particularly useful in commercial environments where access control is crucial. The ability to lock the controller prevents unauthorized tampering with system settings, ensuring that your audio system remains fully operational and protected at all times.

Compact and Stylish Design
The BSS EC-4B is designed to fit seamlessly into any space with its single-gang size. It is available in both black and white color options, allowing you to match the controller to your room’s aesthetic. The US Decora version ensures compatibility with standard electrical outlets, making installation easy and convenient. Whether you're installing it in a corporate boardroom, broadcast studio, or home theater, the EC-4B’s sleek design ensures it integrates smoothly into any environment without compromising functionality.
