TMS-MA Telecor Media Source Model A Installation Manual 9
A. Introduction
TMS-MA Telecor Media Source Model A
The TMS-MA Telecor Media Source Model A is an all-in-one audio source device which
accommodates multiple different kinds of audio sources into one single device.
The front side provides an AUX IN port, a USB slot, and a SD/MMC memory card slot. This
makes it possible to play MP3 files from USB drives and SD/MMC memory cards. The TMS-MA
is also capable of receiving FM radio and connecting to Bluetooth audio devices.
The rear side of the device provides a stereo output and a jack for an FM antenna (provided by
customer) for improved FM reception.
The TMS-MA is designed to be installed in a 19” equipment rack. If the TMS-MA is purchased
with an equipment rack, all required cables and mounting hardware for the TMS-MA will be pre-
installed in the rack.
