The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Safety Instructions

CAUTION!

To reduce the risk of possible fire or electrical shock, make all connections and finish all terminations before turning on power to the unit.

WARNING

Do not block any ventilation openings. For example; do not place on a rug, bed, sofa, or similar surface which impedes airflow across the chassis. Airflow through the ventilation openings should be unobstructed. Provide ventilation on all sides of the appliance, especially if placed in a rack. If ventilation is blocked, the appliance may overheat and malfunction.

Do not install near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not expose the appliance to direct sun light as the appliance’s internal components temperature may rise and shorten the life of the components. Avoid damp and dusty places.

Before turning the power on for the first time, read this section carefully. All models are designed for use only with the power supply voltage of the region where they are sold.

Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

Only connect the appliance to a power supply described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is

Key Features, Components, and Specifications

Key Features of the Quartet System

The following subsections discuss the key features of the Quartet system.

4-Sources + FM Tuner/4 Rooms

Quartet is a 4-room system capable of distributing 4 global sources, a centralized FM tuner, and up to 4 remotely located sources (see Adding Sources using an Audio Port). A keypad is capable of selecting any of these sources allowing each room to listen to a separate source or they can all be listening to the same source. In addition to distributing sources, they can be named and the input level can be balanced.

Intercom and Room Monitoring

The Quartet keypads include a built-in microphone for Intercom “Push to Talk” communications, room-to-room paging, as well as room monitoring, a feature not commonly found with entry-level Multi-Room Audio systems. Now you can have great audio quality and the convenience of a built-in intercom without the hassle or expense of installing a separate intercom system.

Sleep Timer and Rest and Rise®

The Rest and Rise feature allows you to set a count down timer once it is reached to start playing that source for a specified length of time. For example, a user wants to wake up to music so they would set an eight hour countdown, then the source would play for the designated hour. With NetStreams Rest and Rise feature, select between 1 to 12 hours in 30-minute intervals.

Super Zone

Quartet features a super zone which allow you to link two or more rooms together to function as a single room.

2-1

3600 W. Parmer Lane, Suite 100; Austin, TX 78727 / www.netstreams.com.

Quartet User’s Guide

Adding Sources with an Audio Port

Using the optional Audio Port, a local source can be connected to the keypad and played in that room. This is convenient for sources that are typically installed in the room like gaming systems, computers, cable boxes, and iPods. The Audio Port provides line level audio output making it ideal for driving powered subwoofers in the game room or external amplifiers for the poolside speakers. With certain caveats (see Chapter 5), a locally connected source can be distributed globally.

5-Band Graphic Equalizer

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

3D Sound Stage Mode

The Quartet 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 small rooms, the 3D sound mode improves the sound stage for the listening area.

Simplified Programming - No Laptops Required

Quartet is designed to work “out of the box” and does not require a laptop. All features can be set at the MRP using its LCD display and the included remote control, including a source’s IR. You only need to learn the IR commands for a source once and those commands are effective for all keypads. This is makes it easy to configure an MRP at the office and deliver it to the home “ready to go.”

Multi-Room Processor (MRP) Components and Specifications

This section describes the MRP components and lists specifications.

MRP Components

Figure 2-1 shows the front panel of the MRP. Figure 2-2 shows the rear panel of the MRP. The MRP is a 1/2 rack wide component that features a built-in 400 watt amplifier, FM tuner, four source global inputs, and an IR emitter for source control.

Getting Started

Pre-Wiring for Quartet

NOTE

NetStreams recommends pre-wiring according to Figure 3-1 to allow for a future upgrade path to Musica and DigiLinX.

NetStreams recommends dealers wire the CEA 2030 standard for Multi-Room Audio (1 CAT5 + 1 14AWG/4-conductor speaker wire). The speaker wire should run from the MRP directly to the speakers. The CAT5 cable should run from the MRP to the Quartet in-wall keypads. See Figure 3-1 for a pre-wiring diagram for Quartet.

Figure 3-1 Pre-Wiring Diagram

Pre-Wiring for Audio Ports

Additionally, run 1 CAT5 cable from each Quartet keypad up to 65 feet to the Audio Port location. All CAT5/CAT5e cables should be terminated to the EIA/TIA 568a standard.

Quartet User’s Guide

Terminating a CAT5 Cable

See Figure 3-2 for a diagram on how to terminate a CAT5 cable

Figure 3-2 Terminating a CAT5 cable

Installation

To get started with your new system, you must first connect the cables as follows:

1.Connect the CAT5 cables from the back of the keypad (use connector labeled MRP connector) then connect the other end to the back of the unit labeled R1, R2, R3, and R4.

2.Connect the RCA cables from the audio sources to the RCA connectors on the back of the unit labeled S1, S2, S3, and S4.

3.Plug the IR emitters into the connectors on the back of the unit IR1, IR2, IR3, and IR4 and position the emitter over the IR receiver on the appropriate source.

4.Use 14 AWG to wire 4 pairs of speakers to the 4 included phoenix connectors and plug the connectors into the MRP under R1, R2, R3, and R4.

5.Connect the power cable to the back of the unit.

3-2

3600 W. Parmer Lane, Suite 100; Austin, TX 78727 / www.netstreams.com.

Getting Started

Connecting an Audio Port (sold separately)

To connect an Audio Port AP500, run a CAT5 (terminated 568a) from the Audio Port to the connector on the back of the keypad labeled EIM.

NOTE

EIM runs should be less than 60 feet.

Powering the System ON

1.Press the Power switch on the rear of the MRP to the ON position (-).

2.To start the system and get to the home screen, press the ON button on the Quartet remote and the following screen appears.
