Scene

A Scene is programed via the SoundExtreme Smartphone App. You can customize each Zone into a Scene (a preset). Setting the Scenes on the app allows a 1-button press to bring up your desired custom settings for all of the LED products connected to the SoundExtreme product. LEDCast-enabled SoundExtreme products have 5 Scene settings.
