BluOS allows zones to be grouped or controlled independently, providing flexibility for a wide range of installation scenarios. Designed for stability and responsiveness, the platform ensures a smooth user experience across residential and light commercial projects.
Flexible Audio Output Options
With digital and analogue audio outputs, the CI 580 V2 integrates easily with a wide range of amplifiers, audio matrices, and control systems. This flexibility allows system designers to select the most appropriate downstream components without compromise. As a dedicated source device, the CI 580 V2 maintains signal integrity while fitting naturally into existing CI workflows.
Engineered for Installers
Designed specifically for custom installation, the CI 580 V2 features a rack-mount chassis and Ethernet networking for dependable performance. Support for leading control platforms enables seamless integration into professionally managed systems.
