If control-only is required, up to 8 speakers can be connected. When in Dual Mode (available for ART 91x-AX Models) only two speakers can be linked for both audio and control. The following RCF products are supported: ART 910-AX/912-AX/915-AX Single and Dual mode supported SUB 15-AX / SUB 18-AX Control-only Internal features are fully accessible via LiveRemote, and they vary depending on which unit is connected.
