moisture.
AVERTISSEMENT! Pour réduire le risque de

The Control4® Speaker Point is an end point in
a Control4 digital audio distribution system that
converts and amplifies the digital audio stream to
drive speakers in remote locations throughout the
home. It accommodates ease in adding new audio
zones to a new or existing home without running
speaker cable back to a central amplifier.
The Speaker Point takes direction from the Control4
controller. It can also receive digital or analog signals
from other devices, such as a CD or DVD players that
are being controlled by the Control4 controller. It may
act as an amplifier or pass the audio signal digitally to
another Control4 audio endpoint for amplification.
The Speaker Point is designed with a compact profile
and small footprint so you can place it in a way where
it won’t easily be seen, such as on a bookshelf, an
overhead plant shelf, or even mounted in attic space.
The unique design allows you to place it horizontally
or mount it vertically with either the special vertical
mounting base (included) or hung from a wall using
the mounting holes in the bottom of the chassis.
