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 absolutely loss-free. Together with the efficient Class-D amplifier, this ensures a lossless audio experience of the highest quality.
Double RMS Power Compared to Stereo Extension
Analog Class A/B amplifiers often have significant quality losses. That’s why we use digital signal processing in our Master/Client speakers. The result is a doubling of RMS power to 36W compared to a stereo extension – and with lower power consumption.
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 Installation
in the 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, content 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, it’s possible. 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 30 meters. 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.
Is the Power Supply & Backup Suitable for Supplying the Master/Client Technology?
Yes. Stereo Extensions can be connected to the Tree Turbo interface in combination with Master Speakers.
