The Model dmc3-4 Music/Communication Retrofit System Master (Black) is a
full-function intercom and music distribution system designed for
retrofit applications in residential use. The master unit can replace
older intercom systems that use three-wire or four-wire connections to
the room stations. 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. Retrofit room and patio stations
connect to the master unit using the installation�??s existing wiring. 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.
The Model dmc3RS or dmc4rs room stations and dmc3RW or dmc4RW patio
stations can select the audio source, control the radio tuner, and set
the master music volume.
With the addition of the optional Model
MC960PA Remote Power Amplifier, stereo music can be distributed from the
master unit through up to 30 pairs of in-ceiling or in-wall speakers.
For access control, the optional Model DRW Door Release Mechanism can be
installed and activated from the master unit or room stations. The
optional three-note Model MC3 or eight-note Model MC8 chime modules
provide a selection of door chime sounds.
For master unit rough
