 The Intelix MARC Room Combine System is designed specifically for applications with moveable walls, including hotels, convention centers, conference centers, houses of worship, and multi-use facilities. MARC allows you to design, program, and install your sophisticated room combine system in a fraction of the time it would take with other solutions.
MARC Feature Focus
- Audio distribution with combining logic. MARC mixers have all the embedded logic necessary to manage the audio flow of dozens of room group sizes and topologies, and setup is a breeze. Mic preamps and auto-ducking are built in, so there is no need for extra components cluttering your rack.
- Panel control, hands-free, or RS232. Intelix offers several options for controlling MARC's combine functions. The Intelix RC panel uses an easy room layout interface to merge or separate audio with the push of a button. For hands free combining, Intelix offers remote sensor controls mounted on the movable walls themselves. And like all other Intelix matrix mixers, you can also control MARC using your favorite RS232 control system.
- Complete systems mean less hassle. The MARC series gives you all the system gear you need for flexible audio management. This even includes wall-mount source input panels, local and program volume controls, and an easy to use contact closure interface for integration with other components.
- Design on PC, Download on Site, Manage Live Audio. All of the matrix mixer's audio routing is configured using MARC Designer Software, which provides a contractor-friendly user interface for setup and control. Build all user control stations for audio management and combine control in a virtual environment on your PC, then download your program file into the matrix mixer's internal memory. Once successfully programmed, use the MARC software to control live audio environments.
- MARC Pre-built Room Combine Kits. Prebuilt MARC Room Combine Kits offer time-saving, one-step solutions for comprehensive audio room combine installations--simply unpack, wire, connect and go. Systems arrive fully labeled and ready for installation--no programming is necessary.
- Software-guided design setup. A guided software wizard walks you through the application design process as you build your room combine system on your PC in a virtual environment. When you're ready for installation, simply download your finished program file into the rack-mounted mixer, and all of the user remotes on the building's wired data bus recognize their assigned functionality.
- Battery backup. All response curves, presets, and current audio matrix values are stored internally in battery-backed nonvolatile RAM. Even in the event of a power failure, the matrix mixer saves its settings, ramping all levels back to their previous values five seconds after power restoration.
- One-Touch or "Smart" Combining. For One-Touch Room Combine, use the MARC Room Combine Panel. Each of MARC's rack-mounted Room Combine Panels is custom labeled to identify the rooms within the topology. These panels feature low profile membrane switches for simple combining and separating of rooms. There is also a security key lock on each panel to thwart unauthorized users from changing your system settings.
 For "Smart" Room Combine, use an Intelix Comet 8 I/O Remote and Magnetic Wall Sensors. "Smart" Room Combine employs magnetic read switches which are mounted on the movable walls of the room combine layout. These switches have a three inch gap tolerance -- meaning the switch will indicate its closed status when the magnets are within three inches of each other -- and they connect to the Intelix Comet 8 I/O remote device. The Comet 8 I/O connects to the ReO bus of the MARC matrix to send wall status signals to the matrix which combines or separates the rooms in the system, based on these wall status signals.
- Connectivity. Every MARC Series matrix facilitates serial communication via RS232, TCP/IP LAN, and the internet. Front and rear panel RS232 communication ports allow quick onsite diagnostics, and an optional PCMCIA Logic Card allows up to eight contact closure inputs with eight output indicators.
- Control. Free MARC Designer Software allows you to monitor, control, and troubleshoot an entire MARC room combine system from any remote location with an internet connection. Included real-time event scheduling software allows you to program repetitive or unique audio activities in a simple platform closely resembling standard PDA scheduling software.
- Security. To ensure only legitimate users connect to and control the MARC matrix, MARC Designer Software includes an authorized client list providing internal firewall protection from unauthorized ethernet connections.
