Audio Controller

[00Mike00]

I'm a new guy to the forum and am looking for a better way to control my stereo equipment. I've got four receivers powering 21 speakers of different sizes and that makes for a lot of knobs to turn. Is there a simpler way to control this monster?

I'm sure there is, but I'm guessing it won't be cheap.

The best solution would be a systems integration rig with something like a 12-20 channel amplifier and a control module. You can also get room to room controls so you have total control over the entire system from any room.

For this I recommend getting in touch with a professional whole home audio installer to get you a quote and go over options with you. At the very least it would give you an idea of what you would be getting into. Be careful though as some of these installers will try to omit important details about the equipment they're advising you to install. It's important that you know what exactly these items are so you can do your own homework and make sure you're getting a reasonable price.

I am going to try a Rolls DA134 ($98 from Amazon) and I'll let you know how it turns out.

The DA 143s are awesome! I have two controlling five receivers that are powering 25 speakers. Everything is within easy reach and I haven't picked up on any signal loss unlike my previous splitter daisy chain arrangement. These were about $100 a piece and well worth the money.
