Symetrix 80-0177 W4, White, US Standard

Product Overview

The Symetrix 80-0177 W4 is a four-function wall controller designed for use with Symetrix xIO wall plate Dante endpoints. Providing dedicated controls for volume level, source selection, do-not-disturb (DND), and microphone mute in a single-gang US Decora form factor, the W4 gives room occupants direct, intuitive access to the four most common room audio functions without requiring a touchscreen or complex interface. It connects to the companion xIO endpoint via Cat cable and is configured within Symetrix Composer. Available in white finish.

Product Description

The W4 White mounts in a standard US single-gang Decora back box adjacent to or near the xIO wall plate endpoint it controls. Cat cable connects the W4 to the xIO device, carrying both power and control data. The four dedicated controls — volume, source, DND, and mic mute — are clearly labeled and respond immediately to user input, routing control commands to the xIO endpoint and through Dante to the Symetrix DSP. The W4 is the most fully featured of the W-Series controllers, providing all four standard room audio control functions in a single compact panel. For installations requiring fewer functions, the W3 (3 functions), W2 (2 functions), or W1 (volume only) are available.

Key Features

• Four-Function Control — Dedicated controls for volume level, source selection, do-not-disturb, and microphone mute — the four primary room audio control needs in a single panel.
• xIO Endpoint Integration — Connects directly to Symetrix xIO wall plate Dante endpoints via Cat cable for tightly integrated room control.
• Cat Cable Connection — Power and control data delivered over a single Cat cable to the xIO endpoint, simplifying rough-in.
