RTI has announced its all-new KX1 multi-room audio keypad is now shipping. Specifically designed to control distributed audio within rooms or zones across any home or business environment, the innovative keypad simplifies the user experience through a colour OLED display, two-way control capabilities, backlit volume, programmable hard buttons, and more.

“Our new KX1 keypad allows users to easily select and interact with the audio sources in their home or office,” said vice president of sales and marketing at RTI Mike Everett. “With the open architecture of the RTI control system and ever-expanding library of two-way drivers, the KX1 is able to provide the user with simple, intuitive control of nearly any audio source.”

Incredibly easy to program and use, RTI’s all-new KX1 features a 1.2-inch OLED colour display — allowing two-way metadata feedback from audio sources such as AV receivers, media streamers, iPod docks, and more. The device also provides 11 backlit hard buttons to facilitate commonly selected functions for users, and a convenient backlit volume bar to display audio volume levels clearly.

To facilitate the installation and integration process, the innovative KX1 provides customisable programming capabilities via RTI’s renowned Integration Designer software — allowing installers to tailor the automation experience easily to customers’ specific requirements. Featuring an embedded Ethernet connection for straightforward connectivity, the multi-room audio keypad can be fitted into any standard single-gang electrical box, and is available in black, white, and light almond colours.
