Introduction
Russound’s DMS-3.1 is a digital media streaming device that is capable of
playing digital audio content from various sources. Streaming refers to the
delivery method of the content rather than to the content itself. Based on
the installation method, the DMS-3.1 can play a wide variety of content for
your listening pleasure. Software upgradable, your DMS-3.1 will support new
features as they become available.
The DMS-3.1 has three separate streaming media players with corresponding
analog audio outputs that can feed multiple ampli ers. This allows
independent content selection by di erent rooms simultaneously.
The DMS-3.1 is an AirPlay accessory that can stream audio content from
AirPlay enabled sources such as an Apple iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad that
is running iOS 4.2 or greater. In addition, computers running iTunes 10 or
newer can stream content via AirPlay to the DMS-3.1. AirPlay will override
any selected source of audio content currently playing on any of the three
streaming outputs.
The DMS-3.1 is connected to the Local Area Network in a home via a
hardwired Ethernet connection for access to digital audio content. If used with
a C-Series controller and a supported user interface, the DMS-3.1 can access
and playback digital audio les from LAN connected DLNA / UPnP media
servers. Additionally, if connected to the internet and used with a C-Series
controller and supported user interface, the DMS-3.1 can stream content
from SIRIUS Internet Radio service and have access to thousands of streaming
internet radio stations from around the world.
A built-in AM/FM tuner with RDS feedback adds local radio as a listening
choice, and USB ports accept connections from USB storage devices using
FAT16 and FAT32 le formats for audio content playback if used with a C-Series
controller and supported user interface.
Rack Mounting
The DMS-3.1 can be rack mounted using the included rack-mount ears and
hardware. The unit will take up one rack space.
