An audio distribution tool designed for multi-room installations
The MX524 belongs to the family of distributors/zoners: devices designed to receive multiple sources, organize them, and then send them to different broadcast zones. It meets the typical needs of fixed installations where control over sound distribution, announcement clarity, and local control is desired, while maintaining a standard rack format suitable for technical bays.
Who is the ART MX524 for?
The ART MX524 is aimed at integrators, sound engineers, and operators who need to manage audio across multiple spaces: meeting rooms, reception areas, establishments, stages with dedicated broadcast zones, or any environment where routing sources and prioritizing announcements is required. Its "zoning" approach makes it a relevant choice whenever the broadcast needs to remain clear, controlled, and easily manageable from a rack.
Key features: zoning, priority announcements, and signal control
4 zones to structure your broadcast
With its 4-zone architecture, the MX524 allows organizing signal distribution to multiple spaces. This zoning logic helps adapt the broadcast to the venue's configuration (main broadcast, secondary zones, waiting areas, feedback loops), while maintaining level consistency and routing coherence.
Priority call and Telephone paging: announcements come through at the right time
The Priority call and Telephone paging functions are designed for contexts where a message must override the ongoing broadcast. This is particularly suitable for microphone announcements, informational messages, and paging uses, ensuring constant intelligibility without complex operation.
Simple and effective equalization
The built-in equalizer offers two practical bands to quickly adjust the tonal balance to the room and content: a bass control and a treble control. This is ideal for correcting a room that is too dull or too bright, improving voice intelligibility, or homogenizing multiple zones.
Rack-oriented connectivity and listening control
The Combo XLR/6.35mm Jack inputs and RCA inputs facilitate integration of varied sources (microphone, line, players, interfaces). On the output side, the Euroblock and terminal blocks are suited for installation wiring. Finally, the headphone output (3.5mm mini-jack) and monitor output provide quick signal verification, valuable during commissioning and testing.
