Audioaccess Information

In 1987 Audioaccess was founded from a custom installation company, one of the pioneers in the design and installation of whole house audio systems. The installation company recognized the special needs of their clients to provide an easy to use, high quality, and functional whole house music system. With this installation perspective, Audioaccess was founded to design and build systems to address these unique requirements. The core user need was a keypad designed to control entertainment more like using a light switch versus a "stereo remote" on the wall. Thus whole house music became a lifestyle and not just a music system that is occasionally used. The custom installation business was just beginning to emerge. As a pioneer in this industry, Audioaccess became a founding member of the Custom Entertainment Design Installation Association, known as CEDIA, the largest and most respected organization in the custom installation industry. The first products introduced by Audioaccess were the PX-4 and PX-6 Multi-Room Control Systems. These systems allowed a homeowner to access and control their audio components from any location in the house with a simple to use, elegant keypad. This was a marked improvement over the use of simple volume controls or very expensive customized solutions. The PX-4 and PX-6 became an instant success with custom installation specialists not only in the U.S. , but also throughout the world. In late 1991, the Audioaccess MRX was introduced, the first multi-zone receiver that provided 6 zones of music, controller/preamp functions and an on board AM/FM tuner. A revolutionary product at it's time, thousands MRX systems were installed worldwide and its basic design platform has been copied others in the industry.
