The RTC (Rotary Touch Controller) is a wireless remote control and monitoring display for WVC-PRO and WVC-LITE multi-zone audio systems. It gives you full control over your system from anywhere in the vehicle: adjust volume, monitor system health, change settings, and update firmware, all from a compact circular touchscreen with a built-in rotary encoder.
Key Features
- Circular AMOLED touchscreen: vivid, high-contrast display viewable in any lighting condition
- Rotary encoder with push button: precise volume control and menu navigation without looking at the screen
- Dual-input control: use touch, the rotary encoder, or both interchangeably on any screen
- Wireless connection: communicates with your base station over a dedicated wireless link (no Bluetooth or phone required)
- Real-time monitoring: view voltage, temperature, and signal quality at a glance, with min/max readouts that can track historical extremes or the current graph window
- Live audio visualization (WVC Pro / Pro 6 only): FFT spectrum analyzer, oscilloscope, waterfall, and hi-res FFT views, with an option to show all channels combined or one channel per screen
- Per-channel CLIP indicators (WVC Pro / Pro 6 only, firmware 3.10.5+): yellow/orange/red CLIP pills appear on each channel of the audio visualizer views the moment that channel starts clipping
- Multi-zone volume control: independent volume adjustment for up to 4 channel groups, with the active group's name shown above its volume reading
- Over-the-air firmware updates: update both the RTC and the base station wirelessly
- Adjustable brightness: 10-100% display brightness to match your environment
- Encrypted communication: always-on AuralSync mesh encryption for secure operation
- Automatic channel scanning: finds the best wireless channel for reliable communication
