WORK PRO, a stand-alone brand from Spanish manufacturer Equipson is pleased to announce the launch of its new control panels: WAC 4, WAC 8, WCi1R, and WCi8, further expanding the range of control solutions for professional audio and automation applications. These new devices are designed to offer efficient and versatile integration into any audiovisual installation, providing users with precise and accessible control of their systems.
The WAC 4 and WAC 8 panels are two advanced control panels powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet), each equipped with a 4-inch and 8-inch touchscreen respectively, running Android 11. These touchscreens provide a smooth and intuitive interface, facilitating access and control of all systems within the WORK PRO ecosystem. The WAC panels come pre-installed with WORK PRO control applications, allowing the use of mobile apps such as Integra and the interface editor WORKCAD, making them a versatile and powerful tool for controlling any device within the WORK PRO family.
All models, WAC 4, WAC 8, WCi1R, and WCi8, are powered via PoE and connected to LAN, as well as being wall-mountable and compatible with European connection boxes, ensuring a clean and easy installation. Additionally, the WAC 8 model also offers the option for desktop installation with an optional accessory, providing greater flexibility to adapt to different environments and control needs.
WORK PRO also introduces the new control panels for the Integra series: WCi1R and WCi8. The WCi1R is a control panel with a small OLED screen and a push-button encoder, redesigned to update its look and feel and improve the user experience compared to the previous version. This panel is ideal for installations requiring a simple, compact control with a clear visual interface. The WCi8 is a panel featuring 8 configurable physical buttons and an encoder with a push-button, offering a practical and robust solution for audio system control, allowing users to configure and customize functions according to the specific needs of each installation.
“These new control panels are designed to provide an optimized user experience tailored to the needs of integrators and end-users,” says Juan José Vila, CEO of Equipson. “With the WAC and WCi models, we offer flexible solutions that not only enhance system functionality but also ensure seamless integration with the entire WORK PRO ecosystem.”
The new control panels WAC 4, WAC 8, WCi1R, and WCi8 will be available through Equipson’s official distributors starting March 2025. These innovations underscore Equipson’s commitment to creating products that optimize the control experience and provide seamless integration for professional audio and automation systems.
