THE DMC1 SYSTEM
The dmc1 System consists of three major 
components:
•  The Master Station — The Master Station 
contains the central control electronics, radio 
receiver, and optional CD/iPod
®
 player for the 
system and is usually installed in the kitchen 
or a central location.
• Room Stations & Patio Station — Up to 
nine Room Stations in individual zones, or 
15 Room Stations in shared zones, including 
one Patio Station can be installed in rooms 
and outside on the patio.
• Door Stations — Up to three Door Stations 
can be installed at entry doors.
Master Station
The Master Station gives you control 
over the system intercom and music 
capabilities. 
The Master Station has switches that 
determine how the Master Station and 
each intercom station functions in the 
system. Each room can be set to Intercom 
Only, Radio and Intercom, Off, or Monitor.
The dmc1 provides the ability to monitor 
other stations and communicate with Door 
Stations at entry doors.
The system can also provide optional 
electric door control, home security, or 
home automation features if integrated by 
your installer.
