Introduction
Multi-Zone Audio systems allow you to play different music in different rooms, all at the same time. A Total
Control system from URC does a great deal more. However, distributing music to every room is always the first
and foremost step. To re-create everything a recording has to offer it, requires powerful amplifiers that can
react to music's subtleties in a fraction of a second. To do this in multiple rooms requires streaming music with
no added compression. To do all of this in one box requires the DMS-1200.
The DMS -1200 combines six pairs of powerful amplifiers, two additional pre-outs and four streaming analog
inputs and one digital input, in a single box. Requiring only a single Ethernet cable to connect to a LAN, the
DMS-1200 can stream and receive digital music with zero added compression, resulting in flawless music
reproduction with no lags, delays or echos. Going beyond the standard 6 rooms of conventional systems, the
DMS-1200 includes two additional zones of line-level audio for use with existing or new amplifiers. All four
analog inputs are converted to digital streams by the DMS-1200 without using any compression, so the music
that goes in is exactly what comes back out.
The DMS-1200 really shines when combined with other Total Control products from URC. Add an MRX-10 to
control the outputs of source components and get off-site programming capability via the internet. Add any of
our MFS series of intelligent switchs and ensure that streaming music is unaffected by any other digital
communications. Top it off with the TRC series of handheld interfaces or TKP series in-wall controllers for
simple and reliable access to all sources.
