Thank you for purchasing this Musaic MP5 or MP10 Music Player.
The Musaic product range has been designed by the Musaic
team in London with sound quality and ease of use the top
priorities. We sincerely hope you gain many years of pleasure
from it.
We encourage you to feedback your experiences, comments and
suggestions at www.musaic.com. We constantly strive to improve the
Musaic user experience and from time to time will issue software
updates with new features based on your feedback.
What follows is an overview of the Musaic system.
Musaic works with your home network to play music from your
mobile devices, NAS drives, Macs or PCs, plus thousands of internet
radio stations and internet based streaming services.
If you have more than one Musaic Player you can play different music
through different Players at the same time, all controlled by one or
more phones and tablets plus Macs and PCs. You can also play the
same music through multiple Players at the same time in perfect sync,
which is great for entertaining.
To control the Musaic Players you should download the Musaic app
for Apple devices from the Apple App Store or the Musaic app for
Android devices from the Google Play store. Simply go to the
appropriate store online or access the store via your device’s built-in
app store button and search for Musaic.
You can also download the Musaic app for Windows PC or Apple
Macintosh from our own download section at www.musaic.com.
These apps allow music files on iPads, iPhones, iPod Touch, Android
phones and tablets and from NAS drives and PCs/Macs to be played
to the Musaic Players.
The apps also feature our Internet Radio service which allows
browsing and playback from many thousands of stations all over the
world, categorised by genre or country.
Internet Radio presets can be set for recall from the buttons on the
top of the MP5 and MP10 Music Player as well as from the app.
Our Players feature the Qualcomm® AllPlay™ smart media platform, a
technology which allows native playback from many music streaming
apps. Depending on where you live you can download and use apps
such as Rhapsody™, Napster™, Soma FM™, TIDAL™, iHeartRadio™,
Grooveshark™, Aupeo! ™, Qualcomm® AllPlay Radio™ powered by
TuneIn, Recochoku™, DAR FM™, Style Jukebox™ and Double Twist
Music Player™, and play from them directly to Musaic Players all over
your home.
Spotify Connect™ is also featured which allows direct playback from
the Spotify app. Please check our website at www.musaic.com for
details of the latest supported streaming service apps.
For broad compatibility with almost any phone/tablet and a wide
range of other devices the Musaic Players also feature Bluetooth
audio. This is useful in many situations, for example, to send the audio
from a laptop to a Musaic Player when playing a game, or for allowing
a friend to play you a song without having to first access your Wi-Fi
network.
Any phone, tablet, laptop or PC with Bluetooth audio can playback its
content via the MP5 and MP10 Music Players.
An auxiliary analog input allows the connection of the line or
headphone output of MP3 players, CD players or TVs etc. and a USB
charging output allows you to power/charge your phone or tablet so
that it is always ready to use with your Musaic Music Player.
High quality audio components are used throughout, including a fully
digital 24-bit signal path and the very latest in Digital Signal Processing
techniques.
Both models use a custom tuned version of HDSX® by Kronoton. The
patented HDSX® process expands the listening ‘sweet-spot’ and
allows the Musaic units to fill a room with an acoustic experience that
sounds natural wherever you listen from.
The MP5 features two high excursion speakers in a stereo
arrangement with 36 watts of total output power. The MP10 features
three speakers in a 2.1 arrangement (two stereo mid-tweeters plus a
built in subwoofer) and 60 watts of total output power.
Both models feature an environmentally friendly low power (<0.5w)
Standby mode as well as a fast wakeup Networked Standby mode.
The Musaic system is optionally able to control lighting and other
products from our home automation partners. There is a section at
the end of this manual which introduces some of the cool things you
can do with Musaic above and beyond listening to music.
Thanks for taking the time to read this manual; let’s get started!
Matthew Bramble, Musaic CEO, and all the team at Musaic.
