MRS Series : Multi Room System

These are the sleek aluminium faced (or sometimes black or blue) boxes that form the heart of any multi-room system. They take the input from multiple sources and distribute it to all the rooms on the Living Control network. All our CPUs are complete with powerful, high quality, load tolerant, balanced output power amplifiers on each channel. Long cable runs (in suitable cable) and unusual loads such as speakers in parallel are no problem to them. The extremely capable power supplies are more than able to feed the power amps with all the current that they need to produce a powerful and detailed sound. From the days of the very first installations our CPUs have proved exceptionally reliable.

3HREE

3HREE is Living Control’s most affordable CPU, designed to deliver the sound from your audio system into three further rooms in your home. It has inputs for up to four audio sources, like DAB Tuner, CD, DVD, Sky Box and built in high quality amplifiers for each room.
Like other Living Control products, 3HREE is compatible with affordable multi-disc changers from the popular manufacturers, and lets you select up to 250 CDs, DVDs, radio or TV Stations alphabetically via a Living Control DisplayPad in each room. 3HREE will work in concert with video distribution systems, so you can bring audio and video together at the push of a button. Like other Living Control products, 3HREE delivers high quality sound, thanks to its advanced design and excellent specifications.
3HREE is about the same size as a Midi CD player (360mm wide), and finished in matt silver.
Installation is easy: a selection of pre-terminated cables is available to connect the various components, and the easy-to-use instructions are supported by a service help-line. Alternatively, your installer will be happy to fit 3HREE into your life, for a new way to enjoy audio around the home.
