protect all components. The MUSE can power a 46” to 52” display with a maximum continuous power consumption of 150 watts.
The MU500-112 provides constant power and voltage to the display. When the cable length increases, the system automatically
adjusts itself to provide the maximum possible power to the display. Since CAT type cables have resistance associated with them,
care must be taken to use the smallest possible cable length to maximize power transfer.
The MU500-112 Receiver has many advanced features to safely transmit power to a display. These features include: current
monitoring, auto shutdown and an auto receiver detector. Each unit has a durable metal enclosure with built-in ball bearing
cooling fans to provide years of trouble free operation. Every Muse product comes with a 3 year ALTINEX Warranty.
The transmitter-receiver combination has a built in IR channel that allows s IR signals to be sent from the receiver (display side)
back to the transmitter (source side), to control AV equipment. This feature simplifies setup and provides convenience when AV
equipment is hidden out of sight.
