AudioControl, which is distributed locally by Synergy Audio, has won a 2017 TechHome Mark of Excellence Award for the Director Model 4800 matrix-amplifier presented by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), recognising the best in custom integration and installed technology.

All entries are judged by a panel of independent experts within the industry, and winners were announced on 6 January at the Mark of Excellence Awards Reception during the CES convention in Las Vegas.

The AudioControl Director Model M4800 was recognised for delivering “innovative functionality including a broad range of advanced features, higher performance and superlative build quality all from within an integrator-friendly, compact 1U chassis”.

No other amplifier enables integrators to tailor the sound for their clients based on DSP profiles of their favourite loudspeakers obtained via an ever-expanding industry alliance with leading speaker manufacturers.

All of this advanced functionality is mated to an authoritative 100W/8-Ohms, 200W/4-Ohms of output into an 8×10 stereo matrix that effortlessly delivers the highest quality entertainment programming to any zone.

“The AudioControl team and I are truly honored and proud to have been recognized for such a significant award by the CTA,” said AudioControl CEO Alex Camara.
