Supported Models
This installation and user guide covers this Speaker Point model(s):
General Description
The Speaker Point is intended for Control4 system users who want to
add new audio zones to their home using an easy and cost effective
method. Users can locate the Speaker Point in remote locations to
enable audio zones beyond the area near the audio rack.
It is an end point of digital audio distribution and can be used to
amplify and distribute an audio source to bookshelf speakers in
remote locations throughout the home. It receives a digital audio
signal from a source via Ethernet, Wi-Fi or line in and distributes that
audio directly through a pair of connected speakers. The Speaker
Point transmits the source information and is controlled via an
Ethernet connection or its built-in Zigbee wireless connection.
The Speaker Point is designed with a compact profile and small
footprint so that it can be located discreetly throughout the home
(such as on a bookshelf, an overhead plant shelf, or even in attic
space). It is a small box (less than ½ rack size, approximate
dimensions are 1.5” Tall x 6.5” Wide x 6.5” deep). Its unique design
allows it to be stored horizontally or vertically (with the special bracket
included). If a user chooses to place a Speaker Point in his standard
EIA rack of components, then the rack shelf must be set at one rack
unit high to hold the unit.
The Speaker Point has one stereo speaker pair output and one
analog output for external power amps. The on-board digital 50 watt
per channel amplifier powers local bookshelf or in-wall speakers. The
user has the ability to adjust bass, treble, loudness, balance and mute
from local controls.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, turn all power
OFF before installing this product.
WARNING! This product generates heat. The device must be
operated within specified operating temperature limits.
CAUTION! Using this product in a manner other than outlined in this
document voids your warranty. Further, Control4 is NOT liable for any
damage incurred with the misuse of this product. See “Limited 1 Year
Warranty.”

Control4 Speaker Point Installation Guide 2
Installation Instructions
1. Ensure that the location and intended use meet the following
criteria:
• Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
• The range and performance of the control system is highly
dependent on the following:
•Distance between devices
•Layout of the home
•Walls separating devices
•Electrical equipment located near devices
2. (Optional) Connect an audio source to the Audio In port. The
maximum input voltage is 1V RMS.
3. Connect a left and right speaker to the Left and Right Speaker
ports. This must be a minimum of 50 watts RMS power each to
avoid damaging the speakers.
4. (Optional) Connect the inputs of an externally powered amplifier
to the pre-amp Audio Out port on the back of the device.
5. Plug the Speaker Point’s power cord into a standard 110 or 220
volt AC outlet to power up the speaker point.
6. Check the Speaker Point status using its LEDs.
7. Configure this device as a new audio zone:
Trained installers must use Control4 Composer Pro software to
install and configure the Speaker Point on the existing network.
When Composer is ready to recognize this device, press the
small button on the front panel.
User Interface
Once the new music zone has been configured, you can control it
through the system navigation interfaces (such as keypads, touch
screens, On-Screen Navigator, or the System Remote Control). You
can choose to play music to the new zone at will. Because the
Speaker Point is being controlled by a centralized controller, you do
not need to be in the same room as the music . You can control the
music zone wherever you are using any of the interfaces.
