M & S Intercom Speakers and Controls Available with Tech Support from the Experts

M&S intercoms are becoming a favorite with our customers.  In addition to a complete stock of speakers, master stations, controls, and rough-in frames, we have the largest and most diverse selection in the U.S. of update frames for M&S intercoms.  Many of these frames are custom made for us, and designed by our own expert Brad Prince (take a look at one example).  Here's an email from a customer who loved the service he got from Brad....

Renee,

I made a small purchase of speakers and controls to add to my M&S system.  I wanted performance information comparing two sizes of speakers and was surprised that your customer rep, Brad, was familiar with the equipment and was a very competent adviser.  (I have made purchases of system components from other vendors who could not provide any info beyond mfg. bla-bla.)  Also, I was anxious to receive the shipment by the end of that week.

 The responsive service, assistance, and advice I received from Brad was outstanding.  He won't remember, but please let Brad know that I got my speakers just in time!  

Thanks, Don L. on the great Chesapeake Bay  in Stevensville, MD

You know that order was just one thing i bought from you... I also came by the store to get some M&S 601 stations, and your store is absolutely one-stop shopping for me from now on for the small number of items i end up needing for maintenance of stuff in my 2 houses. I have been extremely happy with the conversations I've had with your staff so far; they knew more than anyone I've ever spoken to about M&S systems...You are not getting a video of me, heaven forbid! but I'm happy for you to use what's below on your blog or web site if it helps you. You'll probably be hearing from me again....

Central Vacuum Stores was a refreshing surprise after a great deal of searching for anyone who could intelligently help me find parts for my intercom system and my central vac system. They had everything I needed in stock, and all three times I called with a bunch of questions about my intercom and my vac system, I was incredibly surprised when the woman that I spoke to knew all about my systems: how they worked, different component choices, installation, etc. Even for my out-dated 4 wire intercom system! A trip to the store gave the exact same result; I asked lots of questions about intercom music speakers and other components, and she even knew the details of M&S speaker choices and their impedance off the top of her head. Central vacuum stores was incredibly helpful, very nice, and I feel lucky to have found them with all the other fly-by-night companies around. I am even buying from them via mail order for items in my Colorado house. I would strongly recommend them to anyone needing new systems or help with existing ones.
Regards,

Updated to accommodate CAT5 wiring with quick connectors. The DMC1 has an upgrade path to make it a stereo distributed audio system supporting up to 30 pairs of speakers in the home.

M&S DMC1 Replaces Discontinued Products

In 2004 M&S discontinued production of their MC302, MC602, MC702 and MC960.  The good news is every once in a while these discontinued units show up in a warehouse somewhere and we will have a few to sell.  But that is hit and miss.  The better news is you can replace those units with the DMC1.  The DMC 1 will retrofit in systems with 6 or more wires.

Designed for today's home, the DMC1 music/communication system offers the homeowner the peace of mind of being able to monitor what's going on in and outside their home.  It's elegant style is conveyed more convincingly by what you can't see. The DMC1 was engineered with both the homeowner and installer in mind, by simplifying installation and improving performance.  The DMC1 has an upgrade path to make it a stereo distributed audio system supporting up to 30 pairs of speakers in the home.  By simply adding a power amplifier, your intercom becomes a stereo music source, delivering stereo quality music from the FM radio or optional CD player to any room in the home.  All this in a 30 percent smaller package than the previous model.  The reduced size, refined appearance and technological advances combine to make the DMC1 a "crystal clear" choice for today's modern home. 
NOTE: Home runs from the Master DMC1 to indoor and outdoor intercom/music speakers need to be run with CAT5 wire.
