M & S Systems DMC1 Whole House Music and Communication System Master Unit (Discontinued by Manufacturer)
The Model dmc1 Music/Communication System Master (White) is a full-function intercom and music distribution system designed for residential use. The system supports up to 15 room stations and up to three door speakers. The built-in AM/FM radio tuner allows setting eight AM station presets and eight FM station presets. The backlit liquid crystal display shows the operation mode, audio source, radio frequency, volume setting, and time. With the optional Model dmc1CD Add-on 6-disc CD changer installed, the display shows the disc number selected and the track number currently playing. Room stations have pushbuttons that control the system operation. Room and patio stations connect to the master unit using standard Cat-5 cable. The dmc1 and its accessories can also be used to retrofit existing 6-wire intercom system installations. All room station models can select talk or listen to other room stations, door speakers and the master unit. Each has an intercom volume control. Pressing the privacy button on a room station prevents that room from being monitored.
