Audio Active general manager of sales and marketing Paul Clarke says, “We are convinced that Push Controls is the industry’s leading edge authority in affordable and easy to use control and automation systems and are looking forward to jointly releasing the simple solution module for the latest Anthem MRX AV Receiver range.”

The relationship with Audio Active is part of the new Push Controls Channel Partner Initiative that allows each stakeholder to become part of a broader network of manufacturers, designers and installers.

Push Controls managing director Ben Green believes that the program is a big step forward for the home automation industry in Australia.

“When building a template for system control, an installer must have an intimate understanding of product features and capabilities to ensure that the end consumer benefits from an intuitive user interface. As new technologies are being introduced at an unprecedented rate it is our intention to work with the local distributors to assist resellers to manage product life-cycles.

“Push Controls will provide all resellers access to an extensive range of proprietary templates, device driver libraries and one touch access to integrated services such as internet radio, calibration settings and any number of other features available.

“We welcome Audio Active to our Channel Partner Program and look forward to developing a true extended control interface for the new range of Anthem Receivers.”

Push Controls will be launching its Generation II User Interface and the new Anthem module at this year CEDIA Expo in Sydney.
