NetStreams’ Shhh! Technology & Sleep Timer

Musica

MU5066 keypads also feature NetStreams’ proprietary Shhh! Technology, featuring a gentle sleep timer

so the volume level of the audio gradually decreases in the room as you drift to sleep, finally shutting off.

Add More power to any room with the NetStreams MU290 amplifier.

For an installation where more power is merited (like a larger room or an outdoor area), simply add an optional
MU290 2x90 watt amplifier to any keypad in the system. The MU290 amplifier is also bridgeable and up to six
amplifiers can be daisy chained to provide for 90W / 200W (bridged) power to up to six pairs of speakers in one
room!

Simplified Programming – No Laptops Required

When the settings for each source have been learned into any keypad in any room, they are stored on the Audio
Distribution Center

(ADC). The ADC then “teaches” all the other keypads connected to it. This prevents having to

program all the keypads in the system individually, significantly reducing the programming time required to complete the
installation. You can also upload all learned IR codes into a laptop to easily download them for your next installation. To
achieve this you must use the Musica Tools software offered by NetStreams. To download this software, please visit the
Dealer Resources area on our website at

Intelligent Power Control

When all the rooms are switched off, the main system enters into a power-saving mode. The power-saving mode
begins 20 minutes after the last keypad/amplifier in the system has been shut off. The 2-color LED of the front
panel indicates the status of the system (Red: Standby Mode, Green: Operating Mode). The Audio Distribution
Center controls the power of the sources by means of relay, which offers a dry contact output. A power strip with
a dry contact trigger or a home control system with inputs will be needed in order to use this feature effectively.

Automatic Muting

External signals such as doorbell, door phone, telephone, etc. can be detected. When these signals are detected,
the main system will enter into the mute mode for 20 seconds so that the doorbell or telephone can be heard
when an optional doorbell/phone ring detector is used. (We recommend the use of an ELK 930 doorbell and ring
detector from ELK Industries. For more information see

www.elkproducts.com

or call 828-397-4200).

Musica Network

The data communication between the ADC and the room is performed via Musica’s network. This protocol offers
more than 2,000 commands for the Musica system.

IP Controllable

With the R2EM web interface, up to 12 rooms can be controlled via a flash-enabled web browser. This will allow
the user more features from one device, such as controlling all rooms individually or all rooms simultaneously.
