V-Remote allows multiple pages of custom remote access to the following parameters : Channel and matrix gains Output source selection Preset recall Metering Multiple parameters across multiple devices can be assigned to a single control allowing, for example, different presets to all be recalled on different units, or gains adjusted at the same time via a single control. Crucially, the configuration of the app is stored within the audio system so anyone can download the app and it will configure itself automatically with no programming. To keep the controls secure, multiple users with PINs can also be configured, with individual user’s access set as required.
