INSTALLATION FLEXIBILITY

With a low proﬁle design, easy-to-access connections, and mounting wings with rack-mount
spacing, the HT-MSU can be wall-mounted behind theater components or attached to the back of
metal professional racks. The HT-MSU incorporates an infrared pass-through port allowing control
over sources that use original remotes, even if the system is hidden from view.

RELIABLE ZIGBEE

RF COMMUNICATION

The iC2 System uses a very reliable 2.4 GHz radio frequency that works extremely well even in RF
“noisy” environments. The iC2 System’s 10-channel and 16-network ID capability allows multiple
iC2 Systems to be used near each other, as well as in multiple-dwelling units like condos and
townhouses.

QUICK AND EASY SET-UP WITH WIZARD-BASED NILES

PC CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE

An iC2 System conﬁguration can be programmed, saved, and edited using the Niles QuickConﬁg
PC Conﬁguration Software and Niles IR-CS Infrared Capture Station. The QuickConﬁg software is
wizard based and guides the installer/programmer through basic and advanced system designs.

ASSIGNABLE RELAYS AND 12V OUTPUTS

Three dry contact closures and three 12V DC trigger outputs can be independently programmed
to give installers greater control of mechanical devices or voltage-triggered power strips and
dispersion controlled home theater loudspeakers.

INTELLIGENT INTEGRATION WITH MULTIZONE SYSTEMS

The Home Theater Main System Unit includes control ports that allow the iC2 System to “share”
sources with whole-house distributed audio systems. The power state of these “shared” sources
can be completely managed so that sources are always powered-on when they need to be and
powered-off when both whole-house and home theater systems are turned off.

PROGRAM MEMORY PROTECTION

The entire system proﬁle is stored in non-volatile memory within the HT-MSU. This safeguards
against accidental loss of the conﬁguration programming for the entire life of the product under
normal use.
