The Russound KP6 is the room keypad for the company's CAA66 multiroom audio system. Installed in the wall of each listening area, it gives people in that room buttons to turn the zone on or off, choose among the system's sources and raise or lower the volume, and it can also switch the whole system off. Through the keypad each zone can set its own bass, treble, balance, loudness and turn-on volume. Amber backlighting keeps the buttons readable in a dark room, and a built-in IR receiver with pass-through accepts commands from a handheld remote. The KP6 connects with a single CAT-5e cable terminated on a 110 punch-down block, and it draws its 12-volt power through that same cable, so no separate power wiring is needed at the wall. Twenty source labels are included to personalize the buttons. Russound sold the KP6 with the CAA66 controller amplifier as the CAA66K kit, and it remains the matching replacement or add-on keypad for those installations. The ITS part number specifies a WHT/ALM version. This is a legacy Russound product, best suited to maintaining or extending an existing system. Keypad only; controller, speakers and wiring are not included.
