The interactive wall-mounted keypad/amplifier features a wide-screen graphic
LCD that aids in easy operation of the system by providing feedback to the user
on the status of the system. It responds visually to any press of any button
confirming the action to the user. The menu screen uses a “look-and-follow”
window-style menu and adds aesthetic value to the user’s living environment.
The keypad also features an IR sensor that receives the system’s remote control
as well as the original remote controls of the audio sources. This IR sensor also
allows for the pass-through of other IR.
Please Note: If connecting 4602 keypad with 4601 system please see App. Note

Wide-screen High Resolution Graphic LCD
The wall-mounted Keypad uses a large (Active View Area: 1.41" x 0.78") graphic LCD that
displays the state of all sources and rooms and provides instant visual feedback for all
commands.
Remote Digital Amplifier in each Room
The digitally controlled amplifiers are integrated to each keypad and are located within the rooms to ensure superior sound
quality. Minimizing the lengths of amplifier-to-speaker cables minimizes the distortions and sound deterioration that can be
attributed to the length of the cable in conventional designs. Musica’s architecture places the amplifier in the room where
the audio will be played – close to the speaker, achieving maximum wattage, with minimal noise and distortion. The high
quality pre-amplifier in the system provides the controls for fine adjustments of bass, treble, balance, loudness and volume
in each individual room.
Simple Source Selection
Using a button labeled SRCE, the sources can be browsed and selected.
Easy Volume Control
Pressing the UP and DOWN button provides very fine control over the volume with a resolution of 35 steps. When
the UP or DOWN buttons are pressed the LCD automatically switches to the volume level view for 1.5 seconds for
confirmation of the button presses and then switches back to the previous view.
Menu-Driven Design
Below is a list of the available pop-up style menus:
• SOUND Adjusts the bass, treble, balance and loudness contour of the sound.
• STORE Stores the name of the audio source by user’s selection (CD, Tape, DVD, Classic, Pop, etc.)
• SRC (Source Remote Control) registers the buttons of the source’s remote controls to the SRC keypad.
• B.L (Back Light) Selects the color (green or amber), adjusts the brightness, timer and the on/off mode of the
backlight.
• R.OFF (Room Off) Accesses other rooms in the system to turn them off.
• EXT (External Audio) Controls direction of the audio signal (input/output) of an external component such as a
local room audio source when the room is expanded utilizing the Audio Port (EIM).
