Marketing Information |
The
MCS-2A Multi-Function Speaker Zone Control Keypad is designed as an
in-room control for the MDS-6A Music Distribution System. In a typical
installation, an MCS-2A (or MCS-1A) would be installed in each listening
room or location to control the speakers in that zone. The MCS-2A mounts
in a standard double-gang electrical box and is covered by a standard
Decora® wall plate.
The Model MCS-2A source keys are used to select which audio source
device (CD, TUNER, TAPE, DVD, DBS, TV, etc.) will be played from its
specific speaker zone. The speaker’s volume can be adjusted, or muted,
using the keys on the Zone Controller. Function keys for PLAY, STOP,
PAUSE, SKIP FORWARD, SKIP BACKWARD, NEXT TRACK, and PREVIOUS TRACK are
provided to control the source device action. Numeric keys allow direct
access to numeric selection functions of the source device. Custom
"macros" can be programmed into the MCS-2A to perform multiple commands.
Pre-programmed infrared remote control codes for over 500 types of audio
sources can be selected for each audio source key. In addition, infrared
remote control codes can be "learned" into the Zone Controller directly
from the source device’s handheld remote control and assigned to almost
any key on the controller. To make system setup easy, once the infrared
codes are programmed into one Zone Controller, the same codes can easily
be sent to other MCS-2As in the system using the "clone" feature. Any
infrared code send to the MCS-2A from a handheld remote will be repeated
to all source devices through the MDS-6A.
Two special features are available for each Zone Controller. The
"whole-house-music" feature will play a selected audio source from all
of the system’s speaker zones. The "do-not-disturb" feature prevents a
speaker zone from responding to "whole-house-music" commands from other
Zone Controllers and mutes any system wide pages to that speaker zone.
The MCS-2A keys can light in three colors (green, red, & yellow) to show
the status of the speaker zone. The optional key backlighting lights all
of the keys with a pleasant green glow | | Features |
