Product Overview
The Symetrix 80-0137 ARC-K1e is a single-knob ARC wall panel providing a single rotary encoder for volume or parameter control of a Symetrix DSP system. The simplest device in the ARC wall panel family, the ARC-K1e is designed for installations where a single dedicated physical knob for volume adjustment is all that is required. It installs in a single-gang Decora back box, connects via RS-485, and is programmed in Symetrix Composer. Available in black finish.
Product Description
The ARC-K1e Black presents a single large rotary encoder on a clean black Decora faceplate. Turning the encoder adjusts the assigned DSP parameter in Composer-defined steps. There are no pushbuttons, making it the most focused and lowest-cost option in the ARC lineup for pure volume control. RS-485 bus connection supports up to 16 ARC devices per run. Power is provided via the DSP ARC port or ARC-PSe (80-0093). For installations needing buttons plus encoder, see the ARC-2e.
Key Features
- Single Rotary Encoder — One dedicated rotary knob for continuous volume or DSP parameter adjustment with no button complexity.
- RS-485 DSP Connection — Connects to Symetrix Prism, EDGE, or Radius NX, supporting up to 16 ARC devices per bus.
- Decora Single-Gang Form Factor — Standard single-gang Decora back box installation.
- Symetrix Composer Programmable — Encoder function configured in Composer.
- Lowest-Complexity ARC Panel — Ideal for secondary zone control where end-user simplicity is a priority.
- Black Finish — Coordinates with dark Decora hardware in black-trim commercial installations.
Typical Applications
- Secondary zone volume control knob
- Waiting room or reception area volume control
- Hallway or breakout room single-knob audio control
- Commercial space simple volume wall control
