Extron MLC 55 RS MK MediaLink Controllers

The Extron MLC 55 RS MK Series MediaLink Controllers deliver reliable, user-friendly AV system control in a compact, MK-style wall-mount format tailored for regions using standardized MK electrical boxes (UK, Middle East, Singapore, and similar markets). Featuring six customizable backlit soft-touch buttons and a rotary volume control with LED level indication, these controllers provide intuitive operation for source selection, power on/off, volume adjustment, and preset recall in professional presentation environments.

Designed for simplicity and seamless integration, the MLC 55 RS MK Series includes RS-232 and IR control ports for direct command of projectors, flat-panel displays, switchers, amplifiers, and other AV components. Configurable button macros and presets enable one-touch system startup/shutdown sequences, minimizing user training and ensuring consistent operation across classrooms, meeting rooms, or facilities.

Constructed with durable plastic housings and illuminated buttons available in white or black finishes, the controllers fit standard MK single-gang electrical boxes while maintaining a clean, professional appearance that aligns with regional electrical standards. The backlit buttons ensure excellent visibility in dimmed rooms, and customizable engraving options support precise labeling in English or local languages for enhanced usability.

Primary applications include classrooms, lecture theatres, training rooms, small-to-medium conference rooms, and huddle spaces in UK, Middle East, Singapore, and other MK-compatible regions. The controllers are ideal for educational institutions and corporate environments seeking cost-effective, straightforward AV control without requiring network connectivity or complex programming.

Compatibility focuses on Extron AV devices such as matrix switchers, distribution amplifiers, scalers, and amplifiers, as well as third-party projectors, displays, and source equipment via RS-232 and IR. The series integrates with Extron control systems when expanded functionality is required, while the built-in IR learner and RS-232 pass-through simplify setup for common AV components without additional hardware.

Installation is efficient and fully compliant with MK standards: mount the controller in a standard MK single-gang electrical box, connect power via the included 12 VDC supply, wire RS-232 and IR ports to AV equipment, and configure basic functions using Extron's configuration software or pre-loaded presets. The design supports quick field adjustments, easy servicing, and a flush, professional wall appearance that meets regional electrical norms.
