INTRODUCTION
The First Smart HiFi™
Thank you for purchasing this Musaic MP5 or MP10 Music Player. The Musaic product range has
been designed by the Musaic team in London with sound quality and ease of use the top priorities.
We sincerely hope you gain many years of pleasure from it.
We encourage you to feedback your experiences, comments and suggestions at
www.musaic.com
.
We constantly strive to improve the Musaic user experience and from time to time will issue software
updates with new features based on your feedback.
What follows is an overview of the Musaic system.
Musaic works with your home network to play
music from your mobile devices, NAS drives,
Macs or PCs, plus thousands of internet radio
stations and internet based streaming services.
If you have more than one Musaic Player you can
play different music through different Players
at the same time, all controlled by one or more
phones and tablets. You can also play the same
music through multiple Players at the same time
in perfect sync, which is great for entertaining.
To control the Musaic Players you should
download the Musaic app for Apple devices
from the Apple App Store or the Musaic app for
Android devices from the Google Play store.
Simply go to the appropriate store online or
access the store via your device’s built-in app
store button and search for Musaic.
These apps allow music files on iPads, iPhones,
iPod Touch, Android phones and tablets and
from NAS drives and PCs / Macs to be played
to the Musaic Players.
The apps also feature our Internet Radio service
which allows browsing and playback from
many thousands of stations all over the world,
categorised by genre or country.
Internet Radio presets can be set for recall from
the buttons on the top of the MP5 and MP10
Music Player as well as from the app.
Our Players feature the Qualcomm® AllPlay™
smart media platform, a technology which allows
native playback from many music streaming
apps. Depending on where you live you can
download and use apps such as Rhapsody™,
Napster™, Soma FM™, iHeartRadio™, Aupeo! ™,
Qualcomm® AllPlay Radio™ and others and play
from them directly to Musaic Players all over
your home.
Spotify Connect™ is also featured which allows
direct playback from the Spotify app. Please
check our website at
www.musaic.com
for details
of the latest supported streaming service apps.
For broad compatibility with almost any
phone / tablet and a wide range of other devices
the Musaic Players also feature Bluetooth audio.
This is useful in many situations, for example, to
send the audio from a laptop to a Musaic Player
when playing a game, or for allowing a friend to
play you a song without having to first access
your Wi-Fi network.
Any phone, tablet, laptop or PC with Bluetooth
audio can playback its content via the MP5 and
MP10 Music Players.
An auxiliary analog input allows the connection
of the line or headphone output of MP3 players,
CD players or TVs etc. and a USB charging
output allows you to power / charge your phone
or tablet so that it is always ready to use with
your Musaic Music Player.
High quality audio components are used
throughout, including a fully digital 24-bit
signal path and the very latest in Digital Signal
Processing techniques.
Both models use a custom tuned version of
HDSX® by Kronoton. The patented HDSX®
process expands the listening ‘sweet-spot’
and allows the Musaic units to fill a room with
an acoustic experience that sounds natural
wherever you listen from.
The MP5 features two high excursion speakers
in a stereo arrangement with 36 watts of total
output power. The MP10 features three speakers
in a 2.1 arrangement (two stereo mid-tweeters
plus a built in subwoofer) and 60 watts of total
output power.
Both models feature an environmentally friendly
low power (<0.5w) Standby mode as well as a
fast wakeup Networked Standby mode.
The Musaic system is optionally able to control
lighting and other products from our home
automation partners. There is a section at the
end of this manual which introduces some of the
cool things you can do with Musaic above and
beyond listening to music.
Thanks for taking the time to read this manual; let’s get started!
Matthew Bramble, Musaic CEO, and all the team at Musaic.
