Master/Client Technology
The Next Level of the Audio Revolution
Cover long distances with minimal wiring. Integrate an unlimited number of speakers. Deliver outstanding sound quality. This is the power of our new Master/Client technology. It reduces wiring effort by over 80%, enabling flexible expansion and scalable audio installations. This ensures fully integrated, brilliant sound with easy installation.
Flexible & Scalable
Suitable for numerous applications thanks to easy scalability – from a single room to entire building complexes.
Easy & Quick Installation
Master/Client technology reduces wiring with bus topology, enabling flexible expansion and scalable installation.
Reliable & Maintenance-Free
More Power. Fewer Cables. Lower Costs.
With the powerful Tree Turbo interface, connect your Master Speakers easily to an Audioserver or Miniserver Compact. Up to 10 Master Speakers can be flexibly integrated in star, line, tree, or bus topology – whatever makes the most sense for your project, the proven Tree Cable provides reliable and straightforward wiring. Each Master Speaker controls up to 20 Client Speakers with the same high-quality sound via an efficient daisy-chain connection. This intelligent technology minimizes wiring, saves valuable work time, and reduces material costs – for an installation that perfectly merges efficiency with innovation.

Smart Wiring, Perfect Sound
The Benefits of Master/Client Technology
Highly efficient with low power consumption
Our innovative speakers deliver the entire audio spectrum in high-quality resolution. The digital signal processor separates the frequency ranges into highs and lows. Together with the efficient Class-D amplifier, this ensures a lossless audio experience of the highest quality.
Double RMS Power Compared to Stereo Extension
Bluetooth
Audio content can be transmitted to the Master Speaker via Bluetooth from any device as an additional feature. Bluetooth capability of a Master Speaker can be enabled or disabled in Loxone Config through logic settings.
Practical Example:
Audio in the Loxone Seminar Area
Nearly invisible Master/Client speakers in the seminar area of the Loxone Campus provide excellent sound during presentations, training, and more. Pressing the Bluetooth button on the Touch Pure Flex activates pairing for 2 minutes. After a successful connection, audio can be played from any Bluetooth-enabled device. The Touch Pure Flex also allows you to adjust volume, music source, and many other settings.

Can Client Speakers of a Different Type Be Operated with a Master Speaker?
Yes! Regardless of which Master Speaker you use, it can be combined with all types of Client Speakers.
What’s the Maximum Cable Length Between Client Speakers?
The maximum cable length between a Master Speaker and a Client Speaker, or from one Client Speaker to the next, should not exceed 100 ft. The wiring must follow a daisy chain configuration.
Can Master/Client Speakers Be Operated with Decentralized Power Supplies?
Yes, this is possible. The GNDs (negative poles) of all power supplies must be connected.
