About BSS EC-8BV

How the Soundweb Contrio EC-8BV Ethernet wall controller revolutionizes your audio experience is truly remarkable. This high-quality, durable device is designed for seamless integration with Harman HiQnet systems, offering you unparalleled control and monitoring capabilities.

The EC-8BV is a versatile tool, compatible with BSS Audio Soundweb London and other HiQnet devices, including the renowned Crown DCi series amplifiers. It boasts a single Ethernet port, facilitating easy configuration, control, monitoring, and power via PoE.

Configuring the EC-8BV is a breeze, thanks to the user-friendly HiQnet Audio Architect software application. With simple drag-and-drop operations, you can customize the controller to suit your needs.

The stylish black EC-8BV is equipped with one push/rotary encoder, one encoder ring, eight buttons, and two LCD screens, all multi-color backlit. These components can display up to eight different colors with adjustable intensity, adding a touch of elegance to your audio system.

The push/rotary encoder offers continuous parameter control, such as volume adjustment, and can also be pressed for binary parameter control or preset recall. The encoder ring, besides displaying a bouncing audio meter, can temporarily show volume or binary parameter settings, providing you with real-time feedback.

The eight buttons serve multiple functions, from binary parameter control and preset recall to source selection. The two LCD screens, each with a resolution of 64x128 pixels, can display custom text for easy navigation.

The EC-8BV also features a 'sleep' function, turning off all LEDs after a period of inactivity to avoid distraction in dimly lit environments. Any user interaction will instantly 'wake up' the controller.

For added security, the EC-8BV can be remotely locked and unlocked via other control systems, or locally unlocked using a four-digit PIN entry on the buttons.

With multiple modes of operation, the EC-8BV allows dynamic reassignment of the push/rotary encoder, encoder ring, and certain buttons to different parameters based on your selection. This makes the EC-8BV a truly adaptable and user-friendly device for controlling your sound system.
