Control4 CORE 3 Controller (C4-CORE3)

Control4 CORE 3 Controller (C4-CORE3)

The Control4 CORE 3 Controller is designed to be the direct replacement for the EA3 Controller. CORE 3 is the perfect fusion of multi-room, high resolution audio and smart installment automation for mid-size projects.

Powered by a next-generation multi-core processor, CORE 3 delivers a new level of speed and performance for instantaneous, interactive on-screen access to all the systems on the job. A built-in music server with three audio outputs delivers high-resolution audio throughout the your customer’s space from their local music library, popular streaming music services, and AirPlay-enabled devices using native Control4 ShairBridge technology.

CORE 3 includes a variety of I/O to automate audio and video, lighting, climate control, door locks, and other devices controlled by IP, infrared (IR), serial, and ZigBee. With PoE+ for power, a port for Ethernet out, and its optional mounting bracket, the compact form factor of CORE 3 makes it easy to install behind any TV or projector.

OvrC Pro remote management is built-in, giving you access to the entire network of IP devices, including third-party products. OvrC delivers enhanced troubleshooting capabilities and diagnostic data that makes remote support easy, eliminating unnecessary truck rolls and enabling you to streamline your business and tackle more jobs – all from the OvrC web or mobile app.

New DACs (digital audio converters) and additional audio outputs put the Control4 series of CORE Controllers at the center of our high-resolution audio platform: Ryff. And with OvrC Pro built-in, CORE will be the foundation for networking monitoring and management, remote connections and troubleshooting. This unique feature lets you improve your customer service, streamline your business, and have more control.
