We’re excited to introduce a new accessory designed to expand your system integration capabilities — the CasaTunes USB Trigger Adapter.

The USB adapter, includes 8 x I/O (input/output) and is a flexible and powerful solution for automation, control, and audio system management. By default, the adapter is configured with:

  • 2 input triggers (with built-in pull-up resistors), ideal for triggering custom doorbell chimes, paging, or muting zones.  

Note: CasaTunes currently supports a single input trigger. A future software update will expand support for additional inputs.

  • 6 output triggers, commonly used to place amplifiers in or out of standby mode, offering seamless energy management and automation.

If necessary, you can reconfigure the number of inputs and outputs to suit your specific installation requirements.

The CasaTunes USB Trigger Adapter is fully compatible with all CasaTunes music servers, including the CT-PLUS.

With the USB Trigger Adapter and the CT-PLUS server, you can now design smaller 2–5 room systems using standalone stereo or multichannel amplifiers, by taking full advantage of the CT-PLUS’s built-in software matrix switching.

This compact, versatile solution helps unlock new integration possibilities while simplifying installations across a wide range of system sizes
