Integra ZC1 zone controller black

Control a multi-zone audio system from a wall panel, without taking out your phone or opening an app: that’s what Integra’s ZC1 offers. This zone controller, powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet), mounts on the wall and communicates directly with amplifiers in the Integra Professional range. It comes in black or white, and can manage the audio zones of a restaurant, hotel, or home from a single control point.

A wall panel powered by the network

The ZC1 draws power from the Ethernet cable thanks to the PoE standard. In practical terms, a single network cable is all it takes to connect it to the infrastructure: it carries both data and power. There’s no need to run an additional power line to the installation point, which simplifies wiring and reduces setup time. For the installer, this is a welcome time saver, especially in existing buildings where every channel cut into a wall is expensive.

The enclosure adopts a discreet format, designed to blend into a high-end residential interior or a carefully designed commercial space. The black finish (a white version is also available) allows it to integrate into most environments without drawing attention.

A web interface for zone control

The ZC1’s screen provides access to a web interface that lets you navigate between audio zones, adjust the volume, and select sources. Synchronization with the amplifier takes place in real time: any change made on the controller is immediately reflected on the system, and vice versa. If a setting is changed from the amplifier’s online configuration interface (the web GUI), the ZC1 reflects that change without delay.

This bidirectional operation avoids inconsistencies between the settings shown on the wall and the actual state of the system, a common problem with remote controls or control panels disconnected from the amplifier.

Compatibility with the Integra Professional range

The ZC1 works with the full line of Integra Professional series amplifiers: the 4125DSP (4 channels, 125 W), the 4500DSP (4 channels, up to 500 W), the 8125DSP (8 channels, 125 W), and the 8500DSP (8 channels, up to 500 W). Each amplifier can support up to eight ZC1 controllers, making it possible to distribute control points throughout a building: one at reception, one in the restaurant dining room, one in the bar, etc.

Integra Professional amplifiers are themselves compatible with the main home automation and integration control systems: Crestron, Control4, Q-SYS, AMX, RTI, Elan, Symetrix, and URC. The ZC1 fits into this ecosystem as a local, physical access point, complementing software-based controls.

PIN code security

Access to the controller is protected by a 4-digit PIN code. In a commercial setting (hotel, restaurant, shop), this protection prevents a customer or unauthorized employee from changing the audio settings. It’s a simple precaution, but it avoids a lot of inconvenience: volume accidentally pushed to the maximum, an audio source changed in the middle of service, or zone settings thrown off.
