DTrol: A/V Zone Remote
Remote for legacy NAD & Anthem
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A simple, reliable remote for your legacy NAD and Anthem gear — control power, volume, source, and tuner presets in every zone, right over your home network.
DTrol turns your iPhone and iPad into a fast, reliable, two-way remote for your network-connected NAD and Anthem A/V processors and receivers — controlling power, mute, volume, source, and tuner presets on all your zones.
That's it — and that's probably all you need most of the time. DTrol is a zone controller: it focuses on the functions you reach for every day and does them well — just like remotes used to be.
**Control Every Zone**
Power, mute, volume, source, and tuner presets — zone by zone, across multiple processors and receivers.
**Make It Yours**
Rename zones and sources, adjust their details, and set up links that launch your source apps. Changes live in DTrol only — nothing on your equipment is modified.
**Two-Way and Live**
DTrol shows the real state of your equipment, not just the last button you pressed. It stays in sync with what's playing and lets you know if a device stops responding.
**Direct and Private**
DTrol talks to your equipment directly over your home network. There's no account, nothing in the cloud, and no personal data collected. Your setup stays on your device.
**Your Setup Carries Over**
Upgrading from an earlier version of DTrol? Your servers, zones, and settings come with you automatically — nothing to set up again.
**Supports**
- Known to support: NAD T175, T175 HD, T765, T775, T785, T187, T777, M15, M15 HD; Anthem AVM 50v and Statement D2v (and variants - the legacy AVM control protocol)
- Designed to also support: NAD T755; Anthem AVM 20, AVM 30, AVM 40, AVM 50
- Likely supports other models that speak the same NAD or Anthem legacy protocols
- Your processor or receiver must be reachable on your home network — via its Ethernet port if it has one, or through a device that bridges your network to its RS-232 port, such as the Global Caché iTach IP2SL, iTach WF2SL, or Flex
- Controlled devices must have a static IP address — this keeps DTrol fast and stable. If a device's IP address changes, re-add it in DTrol.

**Setup**
With your processor/receiver and your iPhone or iPad on the same network, tap "+" in DTrol to add your equipment as a DTrol "Server" — you'll need its static IP address and port. DTrol queries the device and sets up your Zones and Sources automatically; afterward you can adjust Zone names, Source names, and other details in Settings.
DTrol is free. It requires iOS 18 and a local-network connection to your equipment.
