audio in every room of the connected home
The Acurus Scorpion is a compact, yet powerful multi-room audio solution for medium-to-large residential and light commercial installations. The Scorpion delivers clean, clear audio power to 8 stereo loudspeaker zones using 16 channels of high-efficiency, low-distortion audio amplification. Two additional stereo zones can be driven from internal pre-amplifiers for a total of 10 stereo zones. Any zone may be driven independently or from one of two global inputs.
The Scorpion sets a new standard for ease of installation through both its web-based setup and its simple, intuitive, full-color touch-sensitive control panel. Zone audio parameters may be independently adjusted for varying speaker sensitivities, room sizes, stereo/mono configuration, and loudness. Volume may be controlled for each zone or as part of a volume group. Stereo zones may be assigned to individual trigger inputs or added to trigger input groups.
