Overview
The MX6CPOE is the networked version of Quest's MX6C ceiling speaker. It takes audio and power over a single network cable, with Dante or AES67 audio and power from an IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE switch. For meeting rooms, lecture theatres, classrooms, boardrooms and open plan offices it removes the amplifier rack and the speaker cable runs: one network drop per zone.
Two Euroblock outputs let one MX6CPOE drive up to three additional MX6C ceiling speakers, split across two independent Dante streams, so a four speaker room can run from a single PoE port. Status LEDs for Dante and PoE make commissioning from a ladder easier. The aluminium back can is fire resistant and the rimless magnetic grille comes in black or white.

Forefront Tip
Check the network switch before you quote: it needs 802.3bt Type 4 PoE on every port that feeds an MX6CPOE, and plenty of total PoE budget. Give each unit a clear Dante name for its room and position before it goes in the ceiling, it saves a lot of ladder time later.
