Figure 3 - Transformer 

120VAC/60Hz run  

combination systems only – or those that include the dmc3-4 master 
and the optional dmc1CD 6-disc CD player.  
Locate wall housing dmc1H or dmc1HC (combo). The housing must be 
positioned so that the transformers are on the bottom of the wall 
housing as shown in figure 1. If you are replacing the existing master 
only system with a combination dmc3-4 system you will have to cut 

the rough-in opening larger to 
accommodate the larger wall 
housing. Prior to making the cutout 
check the stud cavity for obstructions 
or items in the wall that may prevent 
the transformers from fitting in the 
wall. The dmc1H and dmc1HC 
transformers drop in from the bottom 
of the housing. Refer to Figure 2 for 
wall housing placement.  
  

The wall housing is designed to fit 

between 16" on center (OC) studs. In 

retrofit applications you may encounter stud 
spacing that varies from this standard.   
Connect the existing, dedicated 120VAC/60Hz 
line with ground connection from the power 
panel to the wall housing as shown in Figure 3. 
The dmc3-4 requires a dedicated power source 
to assure no interference from other equipment 
caused by looped power circuits. The ground is 

necessary for proper 

radio reception. 

Place transformer enclosure from the inside of the wall housing into 
the transformer enclosure opening at the bottom of the wall housing 
as shown in Figure 4.  Do not run the 120VAC through the wall 
housing.
