MAC stands for Music And
Communications. 24 is the number of
speakers you can connect to this amazing
little amp to broadcast Music And
Communications throughout the home.
The MAC24 builds on tried and true
technology while adding must-have
features not available on any other system
of its kind. ELAN offers a true audio
distribution system that not only fits into
an in-wall wire management center, but
enhances a homeowner’s lifestyle with
built-in intercom features such as: whole-
house paging, phone-to-phone intercom,
door station communications and more.
The MAC24 is a true “bridging” stereo
amplifier. Complimentary left and right
audio signals are present on each of
four outputs. This unique design allows
simultaneous connection of both stereo
pairs and monaural single speakers (up to
24 speakers total) and is ideal for
background music, paging and door chime
applications. This feature, coupled with
the RCA line level outputs (to additional
amplifiers for higher power listening
areas), provides maximum flexibility in
designing whole-house audio distribution
systems.
The MAC24 includes “pro-audio” signal
processing circuitry. A custom loudness
EQ curve and rumble filter provide richer,
fuller sound with in-wall speakers. “Clip-
Proof” audio compressors guarantee
clean, clear music.
ELAN’s patented intercom and door chime
features are built right in to the MAC24.
Audio will automatically mute when the
telephone rings. Paging from a telephone
handset, or activation of either of its two
door chimes, will mute the music and then
be broadcast over the speakers. Band-
limited paging inputs ensure consistent,
intelligible pages with any voice over any
touch-tone phone. 12VDC control signals
are also available to power ELAN’s
patented Volume Controls with Override.
Built-in IR pass-through connections
support up to 4 IR receivers and 4 IR
emitters. No external IR connecting
blocks are required.
The MAC24 is compatible with most
telephone systems and local Call Waiting/
Caller ID services. It allows continuous
phone service in the event of a power
outage, and is FCC Part 68 approved.
