As part of its ongoing effort to simplify commercial audio for integrators and end-users, UK manufacturer Optimal Audio has improved its ecosystem by updating its WebApp and ZonePad controllers.
WebApp enables users to access the capabilities of Optimal Audio’s Zone controller, facilitating the delivery of high-quality, multi-zoned commercial sound systems. Compatible with any device, WebApp streamlines system setup and provides venue staff with a simple user interface for easy operation.
ZonePad Updates
The latest WebApp 1.3 update introduces significant enhancements to the ZonePad controllers. The ZonePad 4 can now be configured as a single zone controller with up to four routine triggers. This feature allows venue staff to activate pre-configured groups of presets with a single button press, such as altering audio output routing, source selection, and EQ, or triggering specific playlists from supported streaming devices. Additionally, the ZonePad 1 update enables routing its local mic input to the system mic, making the in-Zone mic available across the entire system.
Integration with Soundtrack Your Brand
WebApp 1.3 also adds support for Soundtrack Your Brand, a music streaming platform licensed for business use. Customers who purchase Soundtrack Player can integrate it easily with WebApp, accessing over a thousand pre-made playlists suitable for various venue types.
New Features and Visuals
The update includes new audio system and workflow visuals designed to simplify system setup and operation. Matt Rowe, Engineering Manager at Optimal Audio, expressed satisfaction with the ongoing development of WebApp, stating:
“We continue to respond to market needs while also innovating, ensuring our ecosystem remains the best choice for small-to-medium multi-zone venues. Each update aims to expand possibilities for integrators while maintaining ease of use for end-users.”
