Description
AMX MCP-108-BL Massio™ 8-Button ControlPad - Black
The AMX Massio MCP-108-BL is a compact control interface engineered for studio automation and networked production environments. Its slim profile and lightweight construction integrate seamlessly into any control room setup, while eight backlit programmable buttons provide intuitive tactile control with clear visual feedback. This ControlPad delivers reliable command capability across networked studio systems, enabling hands-on control of mixing, routing, and session management from a single wall-mounted or desktop location.
Connectivity & Power Management
Powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet) at 37V–57V per 802.3af specification, this unit requires only a single Ethernet cable for both data and power delivery. The integrated 2 RS-232 ports with 3-position connectivity expand interfacing options to legacy and modern control systems without additional external power supplies, allowing direct integration with hardware synthesizers, effects processors, and audio interfaces in your signal chain.
Processing & Control Interface
Built-in 4 GB Flash memory, 256 MB DDRAM, and 4 GB SD Card capacity provide ample storage for custom programming and control configurations tailored to your studio workflow. The volume control dial combined with eight programmable backlit buttons offers granular command control with programmable button labeling and an inactivity timer for power efficiency, allowing rapid access to critical mixing parameters, device recalls, and scene changes during recording and playback sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does PoE power mean, and do I need special cables?
PoE (Power over Ethernet) delivers both data and power through a single standard Ethernet cable, using 37V–57V per the 802.3af spec. You only need one RJ-45 cable run to the unit; no separate power supply or additional wiring is required.
Can I customize the buttons for my system?
Yes. All eight buttons are programmable with backlit LED labeling, so you can assign custom commands and label them to match your specific workflow, venue setup, or control requirements.
How does it mount, and what space does it take up?
The MCP-108-BL mounts into a standard 2-gang US, UK, or EU wall back box and measures 4 11/16" × 6" × 1", making it slim and unobtrusive in any installation. It weighs only 0.41 lbs.
What are the RS-232 ports for?
The two RS-232 ports with 3-position connectivity let you interface with legacy and modern control systems, expanding your hardware integration options beyond networked Ethernet alone.
Does it have a display or screen?
No display screen. The interface consists of eight backlit programmable buttons, a volume control dial with remote confirmation, and an inactivity timer for power efficiency—designed for tactile, low-light-friendly control in professional environments.
