Powersoft has released its Mezzo amplifier platform now compatible with Control4 smart home systems.

The release of a Control4 plug-in makes it easy for SIs to integrate Mezzo with one of the most popular systems for home automation and signals a renewed focus on the residential market for Powersoft.

“By offering a more versatile and less expensive solution for networked audio we will deliver savings for both system integrator and end users,” Powersoft project and product manager Antonio Feo says.

“We are delighted that the residential integration community will now be able to take full advantage of the Mezzo platform which, with its compact half-rack form factor and availability in both two-channel and four-channel configurations, is the ideal solution for home, residential and commercial applications where flexibility is a must.”

With the plug-in installed, a Control4 controller can leverage Mezzo’s dynamic routing capabilities to access standby control (power on/off), gain and mute control (for all four channels of the user EQ section), input matrix control (excluding Dante/AES67) and analogue sources and amplifier status for all connected Mezzo devices.

Mezzo’s built-in routing matrix supports up to four zones of audio, making it perfect for multi-room residential AV systems, where it can eliminate the need for expensive hardware matrices.
