Concept
How Maxx Remote thinks about channels, groups, devices, and output levels.
Maxx Remote
Maxx Remote is Innosonix project-based control for multiple amplifiers: design channels and groups, tune offline, then link to real outputs including micro MAXX.
Categories:
Maxx Remote is the project-based control software for Innosonix amplifiers. You design the system as channels (speakers) and groups (rooms or zones), then link those to real amplifier outputs when the hardware is available. micro MAXX amplifiers have full Maxx Remote support alongside other MAXX models.
What / when / how: use Maxx Remote when one site has many amplifiers or you need room-level groups, offline projects, or undo/redo while tuning. Install the Desktop app or Docker server, create a project, add channels and groups, link devices, then operate from GROUPS / CHANNELS / VIEW.
Use Maxx Remote when you need:
- One place to tune and operate many amplifiers
- Groups for room-level volume, mute, EQ, and routing
- Offline planning before the amps are on site
- Undo / redo while dialing in a system
- Operator-friendly VIEW pages for day-to-day control
Desktop vs Server
| Form | Best for | How you open it |
|---|---|---|
| Desktop application | Design, commissioning, laptop use on site | Portable app (Windows / macOS / Linux) from the downloads page |
| Server (Docker) | Always-on control in a rack or server room | Docker image; open http://<host>:8000 in a browser |
Both forms run the same Maxx Remote server and web UI. The Desktop app includes the server; Docker exposes the same UI on port 8000.
Maxx Remote vs Maxx Control
| Need | Use |
|---|---|
| One amplifier, quick local tweaks, no install | Maxx Control (built into each device) |
| Multiple amplifiers, rooms, groups, offline projects | Maxx Remote |
| Device network / IP / firmware setup | IDFM first |
Important
Once a device is linked and controlled from Maxx Remote, treat Maxx Remote as the source of truth. Changing the same channels in Maxx Control can create an Out of Sync state.

Installation
Install Maxx Remote as a portable Desktop app or run it as a Docker server.
Prerequisites
Network, discovery, Dante, and tools you need before commissioning with Maxx Remote.
Quick-Start
Guided demo: Left / Right / Sub on an MA32/D² with Dante music.
Projects
Create, open, save, export, and persist Maxx Remote projects — including offline planning and Docker volumes.
Build a system
Commission a Maxx Remote system: create channels and groups, link amplifiers, route Dante inputs, and tune volume, EQ, and delay.
Everyday control
Operate rooms and speakers day to day — groups vs channels, meters, status, and VIEW pages.
Advanced
Maxx Remote advanced features: multi-way speaker channels, surround / crossmix layouts, and reusable speaker presets.
Troubleshoot
Fix Out of Sync, discovery, Dante routing, and device replacement issues.
GUI reference
Maxx Remote GUI reference — purpose and key actions for each screen (HOME, DEVICES, INPUTS, CHANNELS, GROUPS, CROSSMIX, SIG-PATH, VIEW, LOG).
API
Integrator entry points for Maxx Remote — REST, operator VIEW, and signal-path URLs.
