Through a combination of software and firmware changes, this update delivers a major leap forward in regard to system flexibility, user control affordances, and experience overall for integrators and end-users alike!

Designed to support a wide range of Canadian installations coast-to-coast, the M-8080D series finds itself supplying sound and communications to educational, recreational, corporate, and all the other spaces in-between—and the V3 update introduces a suite of advanced features that simplify system configuration while expanding operational capabilities. With so much to share in terms of new and expanded functionality, the tech team’s shared over this easy-to-digest breakdown to learn about what’s contained in this new update:

NEW - Mobile Control with New iOS & Android Apps (Coming Soon to Apple App Store and Google Play Store)

Possibly the most major portion of this update in regard to control and accessibility, the V3 release is the introduction of dedicated mobile apps for iOS and Android devices— adding unprecedented flexibility for system control on the go.
•    Control the M-8080D remotely without a PC
•    Compatible with both Standalone and Dante modes
•    Role-based login for Admin or User access
•    Soon to be available for tablets and iPads via App Store and Google Play Store

NEW - Smarter System Control with New Grouping Functionality

The new Grouping feature allows integrators and end-users to organize inputs and outputs into up to eight customizable groups, enabling faster, more efficient system management. We believe that this enhancement is particularly valuable for multi-zone environments such as fitness studios, conference centers, and retail spaces.
•    Combine multiple inputs and outputs into logical zones
•    Control entire groups with a single fader
•    Easily rename and configure groups to match real-world applications

NEW - Streamlined Operation with Channel Pairing

The new Channel Pairing function simplifies stereo and linked channel management, allowing users to pair inputs and outputs seamlessly. This dramatically reduces setup time while ensuring consistent audio performance.
•    Link channels via Stereo or Link modes
•    Automatically synchronize volume levels and routing
•    Control paired channels with a single fader

ENHANCED – M-800RCT Touch Panel Functionality

With a swath of new functions and features, this update also enhances the M-800RCT remote touch panel by adding compatibility with grouping functionality and improving user interface layouts for intuitive operation.

ENHANCED - Network Flexibility with Static IP Configuration

With Static IP Configuration, installers can assign fixed network addresses directly within the system—eliminating reliance on DHCP servers and ensuring reliable connectivity in complex network environments.

ENHANCED - Two New Security Access Levels

The V3 update introduces two-tier access control, ensuring both system protection and ease of use for different roles within an organization.
•    Administrator: Full system control, including routing, grouping, and configuration
•    User: Restricted access for safe day-to-day operation

ENHANCED - Dante Workflows

Dante-enabled workflows are now more intuitive than ever, with Dante channels fully integrated into the Matrix view:
•    No need to switch between tabs
•    Faster routing and configuration
•    Streamlined setup for networked audio environments

With the V3 update, the team here at TOA Canada reaffirms our commitment to delivering intelligent, scalable, and user-focused audio solutions. As audio environments continue to evolve, TOA remains dedicated to innovation—ensuring our partners are equipped with reliable, future-ready technology that performs when it matters most.
