I Your purchase of an M&S music and communications system is an investment that will provide years of enjoyment and
service for your customer.
M&S audio products are backed with more than 40 years of experience in the design and manufacture of precision
acoustical equipment for the home. To ensure that your customer receives the high-quality music and voice reproduction
that the system is designed to deliver, it is important that each step of the installation be done carefully. If you follow the
step-by-step illustrated instructions below, the result will be a successful professional-quality installation. In the event you
need troubleshooting assistance, please call our technical staff at l-800-366-9422.
Tools required: Power drill with 1” auger, #2 Phillips screwdriver, wire stripper/cutter and tape measure.
USE ONLY M&S SYSTEMS BRAND CABLE as
called out in these instructions. The cable is designed
and constructed with electrical characteristics
necessary for proper audio performance.
Important:
The use of non M&S Systems brand cable will
void the product warranty! Note:
cab/e has M&S Systems and the part number printed
on it!
USE MS4XSC cable for room stations, remote
controls and. volume controls.
DO
NOT EXCEED 350 FEET
or 1000 FEET for the entire,system.
USE MS4DCXSC for door stations.
RUN A SINGLE CABLE from the master unit location
to each room station or control (Home Run).
LOOP CABLE from one station to another. Looping
will cause electronic feedback.
DO NOT STAPLE CABLES! Staples cause shorts.
DO NOT SPLICE CABLES. Splices are unreliable
and defeat the signal isolation properties of the cable.

INCHES FROM FLUORESCENT LIGHT FIXTURES,

This includes AC wiring, security cable, and other
control wires. These can cause a “hum” or “buzzing”
sound in the intercom.
Keep cables away from objects such as heating and
air conditioning ducts, metal construction plates, and
anything else with sharp edges that can damage the
cables.
Outside cable runs should be underground through
PVC conduit. This cable is not weatherproof,
therefore, it must be protected.
If extra cables are run for possible future speaker
additions, care must be taken that these cables do
not get connected to the master unit. Unterminated
cables (no station) connected to the master unit will
cause electronic feedback that will damage the
master unit.

The rough-in installation should be made during new construction prior to the application of wall covering material.
However,retrofit instructions are included where applicable.

Careful consideration should be used when determining
room station locations. DO NOT install room stations in
the following locations:
DO NOT install stations in return air ducts.
DO NOT install stations in exterior walls. Insulation
materials will change speaker range and efficiency.
Temperature changes in the wall will reduce speaker
life.
DO NOT install stations in saunas. They will not
withstand the extreme heat and moisture.
DO NOT install stations in stud cavities with other
wiring or appliances.
DO NOT install stations within 18” of dimmers,
fluorescent light fixtures, security wiring and other
control wiring.
DO NOT install stations within 10 feet of other
stations or master unit. This will cause acoustical
feedback.
DO NOT install stations on common walls with other
stations or the master unit. This will cause acoustical
feedback.
