BSS EC-V-BLK-US Ethernet Controller with Volume Control - Black US Decora

Efficient Ethernet Wall Controller for HiQnet Systems
The BSS EC-V Ethernet Controller is an advanced wall controller designed to integrate seamlessly into Harman HiQnet audio systems. With compatibility for BSS Audio Soundweb London and Crown DCi series amplifiers, this controller offers precise control and monitoring of various audio parameters, making it an essential tool for both residential and commercial audio installations. Powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet), the EC-V simplifies setup and reduces the need for additional cables, streamlining the entire installation process while maintaining a clean and efficient workspace.

Easy Setup and Configuration with HiQnet Audio Architect
Setting up the EC-V is hassle-free thanks to the intuitive HiQnet Audio Architect software. This software allows for simple drag-and-drop operations to configure the controller, so you can quickly assign functions to the encoder and encoder ring. Whether you're managing volume, source selection, or presets, the software ensures a smooth integration process. The single Ethernet port on the EC-V allows for configuration, control, monitoring, and power all through one cable, providing a reliable and efficient connection that eliminates the need for multiple power sources.

Intuitive Control with Push/Rotary Encoder and Multicolor Feedback
The BSS EC-V features a push/rotary encoder that offers precise, continuous control over audio parameters, such as volume. The encoder can be rotated for smooth adjustments or pressed for binary control tasks, like muting or recalling presets. The encoder ring provides visual feedback with a multi-color backlit design capable of displaying up to eight colors. This color-changing feature helps users easily identify status changes, such as volume levels or mute status, providing a dynamic and intuitive experience. When rotated, the encoder ring temporarily displays the volume setting, and when pressed, it indicates binary states, such as muted or unmuted, in red or green.

Energy-Saving Sleep Function
The EC-V includes a sleep function, which helps conserve energy by turning off the LEDs after a period of inactivity. This is particularly useful in dimly lit environments such as conference rooms or home theaters, where unnecessary lighting could be a distraction. The controller can be "woken up" with any user interaction, ensuring that it is always ready for use when needed. This energy-saving feature not only enhances usability but also contributes to reducing overall energy consumption, making it an ideal choice for both commercial and residential spaces.

Security and Remote Control Features
The EC-V is equipped with remote lock and unlock capabilities, which can be controlled via other HiQnet devices, providing added security and convenience for larger, more complex systems. This feature ensures that only authorized personnel can make adjustments to the system, preventing unauthorized access. Additionally, the EC-V can be locally locked or unlocked with a secure PIN entry, ensuring that sensitive system settings remain protected. Whether you're managing a large audio system in a commercial venue or a home theater setup, these security features provide peace of mind.

Sleek and Compact Design
The BSS EC-V Ethernet Controller is designed with a sleek, single-gang size that easily fits into standard electrical outlets, making it ideal for installation in both residential and commercial settings. Its clean and compact form factor ensures it blends seamlessly with other devices while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The controller is available in black, offering a modern, unobtrusive look that complements any environment, whether it’s a home entertainment system or a professional audio installation.
