    Installation & Connection to the Grand Concerto
    The 3-Output Music Server has three independent analog audio outputs. Although all the available music files are stored on a single 160-GB hard drive, each of the audio outputs is treated as a separate audio source. Therefore the 3-Output Music Server will constitute three of the six available audio sources of your Grand Concerto 6-Source 8-Zone audio distribution system.

    Easy Menu-Based Browsing & Selection
    You can browse through playlists, artists, albums, tracks and genres from any of the Grand Concerto Control Pads, or from the front panel of the 3-Output Music Server. The contents of each of the menu items is determined by Windows Media Player: When music is downloaded from a music website, or ripped from a CD, Media Player accumulates the available album, artist and track information and appropriately catalogs it. When music is synced from Media Player to the M3 all of the music cataloging is also synced. The 3-Output Music Server features full Digital Rights Management compliance.

    Additional Control Options
    Add IR control to your music server without placing an IR emitter on the front panel IR receiver. An IR input on the back panel uses a mono mini 3.5mm patch cable. A DB9 port is also included on the 3-Output Music Server for bidirectional communication with third-party home automation systems.
