6 Sources / 6 Zones
The MDS-6A enables you to independently listen to and control up to six differ-
ent audio sources (i.e. Tuner, CD, Tape Deck - and the audio signals from your
VCR, DVD, and Satellite Receiver) in six distinct listening areas or “zones”.
12 Channel x 40 WPC Power Amplifier
The MDS-6A features 12 channels of amplification capable of delivering 40
watts per channel into 8 ohms. The MDS-6A provides more than enough clean,
dynamic power to drive a house full of speakers all day long!
Compatible with MCS Zone Controllers and IR Receivers
The MDS-6A’s zones can be controlled using MCS-1A Zone Controllers,
MCS-2A Programmable Zone Controllers, and/or IR Receivers. Add multiple
MCS Controllers and/or IR Receivers for maximum flexibility.
User Feedback to All System Controllers
Unlike other basic multi-zone systems, the MDS-6A receives IR data and trans-
mits feedback to MCS Controllers. These features inform the user of which
Source is currently selected, Zone ON/OFF Status, Mute, Do-Not-Disturb,
Whole-House Music Status, and more!
MCS Controller RJ-45 Jacks and Removable Speaker
Terminals for Easy Connectivity
In addition to the six plug 'n play RJ45 jacks for MCS Controllers and IR
Receivers, the MDS-6A features installer-friendly removable speaker terminals
which accept up to 14 AWG wire.
6 Source-Specific IR Output Ports Plus 1”ALL” Port
Six source-specific IR output ports enable multiple ‘same make/model’ compo-
nents to be used without conflict or interference. An IR ALL port is also provided.
