AudioControl announces a collaboration with Josh.ai bringing control of AudioControl-powered entertainment systems using Josh.ai natural language and privacy-focused voice automation technology.

The integration includes AudioControl product auto-discovery, power toggling, volume and mute control, input switching, single-source to multi-zone routing and multi-source to multi-zone routing. As part of the Josh.ai distributed AV workflow, AudioControl Director Series amplifiers, home theatre Concert AVRs and Meastro preamp/processors will auto-populate within the Josh.ai web portal for configuration once connected to the same network, making setup intuitive for installers.

Users can take advantage of the matrixing capabilities of the Director series amplifiers by leveraging Josh.ai app or voice commands to direct specific programming to any zone at the preferred volume level. Installers can assign multiple input sources to all applicable AudioControl Modules. The Josh.ai platform can search for content through all available streaming services (using a compatible source) and manage volume commands for individual or grouped output zones, allowing users to enjoy specific programming anywhere in the home. An example of such a command would be "Okay Josh, listen to Journey in the dining room, patio and kitchen, and turn it to 30 percent."
