Overview
Effortless Control for Your Multi-Zone Audio System
The Monoprice Home Audio Multizone Remote Control provides convenient control over your multi-zone audio amplifier. Designed for seamless integration with PID 10761, this wall plate controller allows you to manage audio sources and volume levels with ease. Its soft-touch buttons and IR receiver enhance usability and functionality.
Specifications:
- Compatibility: Monoprice Multizone Amplifier PID 10761
- Connectivity: Cat5e or Cat6 cable (preferred)
- Features: Infrared (IR) eye, Lighted soft-touch buttons
- Functionality: Zone control, Volume control, Source selection
Key Features
The wall plate controller connects to the multizone amplifier using Cat5e or Cat6 cable (Cat6 preferred)
It features an infrared eye, which can propagate single-band IR remote control signals to individual IR transmitters connected to the master controller
This allows you to control the source devices from each zone using native remote controls

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Connects to a multizone amplifier using standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling for flexible installation.
- Features an infrared (IR) eye that propagates single-band IR remote control signals to individual transmitters.
- Allows control of source devices from each audio zone using their native remote controls.
- Utilizes readily available Cat5e or Cat6 cable, simplifying wiring and reducing specialized cabling needs.
- The wall plate design offers a clean and integrated appearance within a home audio setup.
👎 Cons
- Requires a separate multizone amplifier for full functionality, as this is a remote control unit only.
- Only propagates single-band IR remote control signals, which may not be compatible with all IR devices.
- Optimal performance is achieved with Cat6 cable, suggesting Cat5e might offer slightly less reliable signal integrity.
- The system relies on individual IR transmitters connected to a master controller, which requires additional components.
- This unit specifically manages IR signals and does not provide direct audio output or source switching on its own.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of cable is recommended for connecting this wall plate controller?
The Monoprice 110762 wall plate controller connects to the multizone amplifier using Cat5e or Cat6 cable, with Cat6 being the preferred option for optimal performance.
Can I control all my audio sources with this remote?
This controller features an infrared eye that can propagate single-band IR remote control signals, allowing you to control compatible source devices from each zone using their native remote controls.
Does this product include the multizone amplifier?
No, this product is a wall plate controller designed to connect to a multizone amplifier; the amplifier itself is a separate component and not included.
How does the IR signal propagation work with this controller?
The integrated infrared eye on the wall plate can propagate single-band IR remote control signals to individual IR transmitters, which are then connected to the master controller.
Is this system capable of handling advanced, multi-frequency IR signals?
The Monoprice 110762 remote control is specified to propagate single-band IR remote control signals, indicating it is designed for standard IR communications.
