•Discrete channel communication between each Musica MU5066 keypad and the MusicaAudio
Distribution Center
• Enhanced IR capabilities for IR learning
• New FM Tuner card (sold separately) to add FM Tuner listening to any MU5066 keypad model
• Turn all rooms ON or OFF from any keypad
• 5-band graphic equalizer
• 3D Sound Mode (MU5066KP50 only)
• NetStreams’ proprietary Shhh! Technology
• Macro Functions on all Musica Keypad models (see keypad specifications page 12).
• Control Musica from any web browser with new R2EM Module – now offering multiple connections (sold
separately)
• Advanced RS-232 control for full integration with other control systems
• Blue and White backlighting now offered as standard / Amber and Green on KP25S model only
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.

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 www.netstreams.com
.
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.

IR emitters are connected to the Musica ADC and run and installed at the house-wide sources. The IR emitters
will deliver the IR codes programmed into a Musica keypad, and stored in the ADC. Four (4) IR Emitters
MU4601IRE are provided with the Audio Distribution Center. Additional IR Emitters may be purchased.
TIPS:
• Use the supplied IR emitters to transmit the commands from your keypads to your source components.
• An emitter must be connected from the Musica ADC to each of your four sources.
• Remove the adhesive backing and stick the emitter directly over the source components IR window. Be sure
to wipe the window clean of any finger prints before applying the emitter.
•Keep the source components away from fluorescent light sources as this can interfere with emitters.

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.

• ROOM Accesses other rooms in the system to turn them ON or OFF and adjust sources.
• EXT (External Audio) Controls direction of the audio signal (input/output) of an external component such as a local
room audio source when the room is expanded utilizing the Audio Port (EIM). Also allows for the choice of a fixed or
variable output, and tuner controls, spacing, sensitivity, as well as deemphasize of the FM tuner card (DFMT).
Source Functions
The wall-mounted keypad/amplifiers come with a
group of buttons designated as a direct user
interface to the audio sources. It functions as a
control for the 4 different home-wide audio sources.
Once the buttons have been programmed, they control
the audio source currently selected from that room.
When the settings for each source have been
learned at any wall-mounted keypad, they are then
stored in non-volatile memory in the ADC.
All settings are then available across all rooms
without any additional programming.
Room Control and System Status
One room can monitor the state of all other rooms
and turn the power of other rooms on or off
remotely. The at-a glance display allows easy
operation of all rooms from any location in the
home. The menu functions of any keypad can be
locked out by pressing the sequence 1,2,3,4 at any
keypad to prevent unwanted changes being made to
the settings for that keypad. To reactivate the menu
function, from the remote control or keypad, press
5,6,7,8.
Plug & Play Expansion
Using the optional Audio Port, users can easily add external sound sources and
output devices to expand the system at the local room level. When the Audio Port is
connected, the keypad detects it automatically and displays it in the menu view as a
fifth source for that room only. The user can now select it using the source button.
The sources can now be browsed and selected in the following sequence as an
example: TAPE, CD, AUX, TUNER, and EXT.
When an external audio system is connected to the audio output
flexibility the user can select the integrated digitally controlled amplifier, an external
amplifier, or both via the amp selection menu of the keypad.
