Audac AMP523/RM523 Audio Matrix Switcher

This driver is for the Audac AMP523/RM523 Web Based Mini Stereo Power Amplifier using Serial or Ethernet connectivity. Firmware in the unit during driver development was v1.5.

This driver was developed using the AMP523 and has not been tested on the RM523. As the difference between these two devices is merely the output connection, the driver should respond identically on both devices.
