ACCESSORY
Volume 8, Select 8, & Volume/Select 8
Control Panels
Volume 8, Select 8, and Volume/Select 8 Control Panels are a natural extension of Audia® and Nexia® 
products. These control devices allow for a simple and intuitive interface for end-users, and can be 
installed and configured to fit the unique needs of a particular application. Any combination of Control 
Panels can be connected on a 5-wire daisy-chain, eliminating the need for local power sources. This 
connection also provides the serial communication to the Audia or Nexia system. Multiple remote 
control panels can be connected on one bus, over a large physical distance.
FEATURES
