The WCU330 wall panel

The WCU330 is the wall control unit for the Opus 300 multi-room entertainment system and can be used as both main or sub-zone controllers. Working on the A-BUS standard, installation is extremely simple with just one Cat5 cable connection needed from WCU330 keypad to MCU300 and standard speaker cable from the keypad to loudspeakers. Remarkably, amplification for the speakers is built into the back of the WCU330 and a pre-amp output is even provided for driving external amplifiers or a powered subwoofer.

Capable of accessing any of six available audio sources (music server, tuner etc.), the MCU300 distributes any source to any or all of four main zones around the house simultaneously using just one run of Cat5 cable per zone. And, for every main zone, the MCU300 supports an additional sub-zone which is ideal for en-suite bathrooms, conservatories etc. Each source also has an IR emitter connected to enable you to use your sources remotes from any room.

Designed to work with the MCU300 multi-source hub, the VSU300 video switching unit adds full audio-visual switching capability to the Opus 300 Multi-Room Entertainment System.

When an audio source is selected in any zone (via the wall-mounted control panel or remote) the VSU300 automatically routes the corresponding video signal to the same zone. Loop outputs for all six video sources are provided, enabling integration with an existing hi-fi or home theatre system.

DF Solution’s range of Media Servers enable you to create the home of your dreams, whereby the whole family can easily store thousands of albums and movies in a central location, and then access them around the house. Whether you’re by the pool, or in the kitchen, conservatory or study, you can pick up a remote (or an iPhone, or touch-screen interface), and instantly pick the specific content you want, or let the Server do the picking for you

The introduction of the Marantz RC3001 adds a new dimension in the area of customizable, interactive devices. Specially designed for people who like the idea of a customizable LCD remote, but don’t want to spend many evenings on programming it.

Housed in a trend setting, design, the light, ergonomic RC3001 provides effortless, intuitive control and navigation, for personalized home entertainment enjoyment.

The OS165CC speakers deliver a well-rounded, clear and warm audio experience which fills any room.

Optimised for custom installation, the drive unit and crossover are designed to take into account the angles, frequencies and energy distribution characteristics of in-ceiling applications.

The LRC300 learning remote control enables users to enjoy sophisticated functionality from their Opus 300 system with hard-coded buttons to control the Opus system plus full control of all connected source equipment.

A single LRC300 can control all local settings such as volume, source and bass/treble as well as all source settings such as play, stop and track/station selection etc.
