The Maestro M3 is the latest and greatest that AudioControl has to offer. This "no-holds-barred" $5999 entry isn't just about connections and looks - it has some impressive technology to back it up.

The single thing that has most people talking about the Maestro M3 is AudioControl's integrated Active Balanced Circuitry. This allows you to send video signals over Cat5/6 up to 1000 feet for Composite or Component or 150 feet for HDMI (depending on the format). On looks alone the Maestro is turning heads.
