The Russound XTS7 is a 7-inch wall-mounted touchscreen that gives a Russound multiroom system a permanent, always-ready control point. It runs Android on a quad-core 64-bit processor with 2GB of RAM. It ships with the Russound app installed, so it can select sources, adjust zones and show song, artist and album details with album art from compatible sources. Because it is a full Android device, integrators can add other apps from the Google Play Store to bring lighting, shades, thermostats or doorbell cameras onto the same screen.
The projected-capacitive 800 x 1280 display reproduces 16.7 million colors at 400 nits. 16GB of internal storage can be expanded by up to 256GB with a microSD card. The XTS7 connects over wired Ethernet or 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. It draws power from an 802.3af PoE switch or injector, or from a 12-volt DC supply when using Wi-Fi; neither is included. The panel stands 0.65 inch off the wall and needs only 0.75 inch behind it. The included mounting plate fits single-gang or two-gang US boxes or P-rings and 60mm European boxes, in landscape or portrait orientation.
