4-Sources / 6-Rooms

The Musica system distributed 4 home-wide sources to 6 rooms and is expandable to 18 rooms of audio with up
to 2 additional local sources per room. The system is programmed to select any available audio source, and then
to distribute them up to any of the rooms selected. Users can listen to any of the different sources, at the same
time, in each separate room. Compensating automatic gain adjustments at the inputs insure that all of the
sources are distributed at equal levels.

Plug and Play Expansion with the Audio Port

Using the optional Audio Port, users can plug in local sound sources such as Gaming systems, Computers, CD
Players or MP3 players to expand the system at the local room level. You can also add a powered subwoofer in
any room, synchronized with the speakers connected to the keypad/amplifier or use the Musica keypad/amplifier
to control a large power amplifier driving large floor-standing speakers or multiple in-ceiling/in-wall speakers
installed in a very large space.

Add Local FM Tuner Listening to Any Room with the NetStreams Digital FM Tuner Card

Each Musica MU5066 keypad/amplifier features a slot for an optional Digital FM Tuner Card (sold separately) so
any room can have its’ own private FM Tuner listening. The Digital FM Tuner card kit includes a between-stud
antenna featuring a RG6 connection for easy connection to a roof-top or attic-mounted antenna.

Remote Integrated Digital Amplifiers

Digitally controlled stereo digital amplifiers are integrated into the keypads and are located within the rooms. With
this design, minimizing the lengths of the amplifier-to-speaker cables creates better sound quality. This reduces
the distortions and sound deterioration, which are attributed to the length of the cable run. This design also keeps
heat away from delicate source components in the main equipment rack or location.

5-Band Graphic Equalizer

All Musica MU5066 keypad/amplifiers feature a 5-band graphic equalizer which allows for further customization of
the sound quality to suit your tastes. Adjust the level of the sound output in each room at 100Hz, 300Hz, 1 kHz, 3
kHz, and 10 kHz.

3D Sound Stage Mode

The MU5066KP50 keypad/amplifier features a proprietary 3D sound stage to expand the spacious quality of the
sound. Particularly beneficial for installations where speakers have been placed very close together, or for smaller
rooms, the 3D sound mode improves the sound stage in the listening area.
