The interactive in-wall keypad/amplifier features a
wide-screen graphic LCD that aids in easy operation of
the system by providing feedback to the user on the
status of the system. It responds visually to any press
of any button confirming the action to the user. The
menu screen uses a “look-and-follow” window-style
menu and adds aesthetic value to the user’s living
environment. The keypad also features an IR sensor
that receives the system’s remote control as well as the
original remote controls of the audio sources. This IR
sensor also allows for the pass-through of other IR.
Wide-screen High Resolution Graphic LCD
The wall-mounted keypad
uses a large Active View
Area 1.41” x 0.78” graphic
LCD that displays the state
of all sources and rooms and
provides instant visual
feedback for all commands.
Remote Digital Amplifier in each Room
The digitally controlled amplifiers are integrated to each keypad and are located within the rooms to ensure superior
sound quality. Minimizing the lengths of amplifier-to-speaker cables minimizes the distortions and sound deterioration
that can be attributed to the length of the cable in conventional designs. Musica’s architecture places the amplifier in the
room where the audio will be played – close to the speaker, achieving maximum wattage, with minimal noise and
distortion. The high quality pre-amplifier in the system provides the controls for fine adjustments of balance, loudness
and volume in each individual room, while a 5-band graphic equalizer allows for further customization of the sound.
Simple Source Selection
Using a button labeled SRCE, the sources can be browsed and selected.
Easy Volume Control
Pressing the UP and DOWN button provides very fine control over the volume with a resolution of 35 steps. When the
UP or DOWN buttons are pressed the LCD automatically switches to the volume level view for 1.5 seconds for
confirmation of the button presses and then switches back to the previous view.
Menu-Driven Design
Below is a list of the available pop-up style menus:
• SOUND Adjusts the balance and loudness contour of the sound. Also contains the 5-band graphic equalizer for fine
tuning of the sound. The KP50 features 3D Sound Mode (ON/OFF).
• NAME Stores the name of the audio source by user’s selection (CD, Tape, DVD, Classic, Pop, etc.) Also stores the
name of FM Tuner presets when the DFMT Digital FM Tuner Card is inserted and the room name or name of the
external (EXT) source (Audio Port).
•
IR Adjusts the IR Frequency (38 kHz to 56 kHz). Registers the buttons of the source’s remote controls to the keypad.
•
ADJ (Adjust) Sets the Sleep Timer on the keypad and provides amplifier adjustments for the type of speakers used (8Ohm,
6Ohm, or 4Ohm). Selects the color (green or amber- MU5066KP25S; blue or white – MU5066KP25 & MU5066KP50), adjusts the
brightness, timer and the on/off mode of the backlight.
