MCA-88X Feature Overview
Available User interfaces: The MCA-88X works with the MDK-C6 keypad, SLK1 keypad, XTS wall-mounted touchscreen, and the MyRussound App. For information about user interfaces, go to the Russound website at www. russound.com.
Note: The internal AM/FM tuner, available in our previous C-Series controllers, was replaced in the MCA controllers with a Bluetooth® input extension for the easy addition of an optional BTC-1X Bluetooth receiver. If you'd like to add a tuner, Russound manufactures the ST-1 rack-mountable tuner which can be added to the MCA-88X.
The Russound MCA-88X features built-in XStream™ technology, enabling popular streaming content from the cloud, home network, tablets and phones - all from a single component.
Firmware updates can now be performed using either the USB connection or Ethernet connection.
Configuration of the controller is performed using a network connection only. All of the configuration of the controller can be performed using our browserbased Web Conf.
