Integrating the DMS4 Digital Music Server into an IntelliControl® ICS System

A single IntelliControl® ICS DMS4 Digital Music Server is capable of playing different music in multiple rooms, or zones, simultaneously. This section explains how the DMS4 Digital Music Server can be integrated into a multi-room environment and how users in different rooms can access music from the Audio Library.

The below example integrates the DMS4 Digital Music Server with a GXR2 Modular MultiZone Receiver, with four IntelliControl® ICS IM-SERVER Cards, and a number of different control solutions. The following connections are made:

•Stereo RCA audio cables are connected between the DMS4 Digital Music Server’s analog outputs and the analog inputs of the IM-SERVER cards in the GXR2

•A CAT-5 network cable is connected between the DMS4 Digital Music Server’s Ethernet socket and the Router. Similar connections are made between the four IM-SERVER cards in the GXR2 and the Router. The Router is connected to the Internet

•CAT-5 network cables are also used to connect between the GXR2’s Communication and Control Switch and the zone controllers

•16/4 speaker wire is connected from zone speaker outputs on the GXR2 to stereo speakers in the four zones.
