CONGRATULATIONS!
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: All M&S Systems
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 of cable for any one run
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). DO NOT
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.
KEEP MASTER, SPEAKERS
and
VOLUME/REMOTE CONTROLS AT LEAST 18
INCHES FROM FLUORESCENT LIGHT FIXTURES,
DIMMER CONTROLS, AND ALL OTHER WIRING.
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.

WALL HOUSING ti6X AND t4C6X P
Careful consideration should be used when determining
wall housing location. DO NOT install wall housing in the
following locations:
DO NOT Install wall housing in return air ducts.
DO NOT install wall housing in exterior walls
DO NOT Install wall housing underneath cabinets or
over counter tops.
DO NOT install wall housing in stud cavities with
other 120/240 appliances.
DO NOT install wall housing within 18” of dimmers,
fluorescent light fixtures, security wiring and other
control wiring.
DO NOT install wall housing within 2” of room corners
Install the plastic
standoffs into the
holes in the back of
the wall housing as
shown in figure 1.
They will be required
to mount the modular
chime during the
finish-out phase of
the installation.

Locate wall housing H6X or HCGX (Combo). Position back
side of wall housing flush with back of 2X4 stud
approximately 52” high for H6X or 45” high for HCGX. The
wall housing is designed to be supported by 16” on
center(OC) studs. If stud spacing is greater than 16” OC, nail
additional sections of wood to provide the necessary support.

Have a qualified electrician run a dedicated 120VAC/60Hz-
line with ground connection from the power panel to the wall
housing. The MC602 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.

by running them through
separate hole in the ceilin
plate and in the top of th
wall housing. If groupe
together, the
intercom
cables can shield the
antenna leads resulting in
poor radio reception. Keep
the antenna leads away
from metal duct work and
aluminum
insulation. These can also
shield the antenna leads.
If metal siding or roofing
materials are used, an
outside antenna
installation may be
required for radio

SPEAKERS

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.
DO NOT install stations facing other stations or the
master unit. This will cause acoustical feedback.
