Description
The Chief EC-4BV-BLK-US Ethernet Wall Controller (EC-4BV-BLK-US) is a versatile single-gang Ethernet controller designed for seamless integration within Harman HiQnet systems. Engineered for professional AV environments, this controller enables intuitive control and monitoring of parameters within BSS Audio Soundweb London systems, Crown DCi series amplifiers, and other compatible HiQnet devices.
Featuring a programmable push/rotary encoder, multicolor encoder ring, four customizable backlit buttons, and a 64x128 pixel LCD screen, the EC-4BV delivers powerful functionality in a sleek Decora-style wall form factor. The controller connects via a single Ethernet port, supporting configuration, monitoring, control, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) through one cable for streamlined installation.
Configured through HiQnet Audio Architect using drag-and-drop programming, the EC-4BV offers flexible operation modes, dynamic parameter reassignment, and secure access controls. With adjustable LED intensity, sleep functionality for distraction-free environments, and remote or PIN-based locking capabilities, this controller is ideal for conference rooms, hospitality spaces, corporate AV systems, and performance venues.
