The Octopus Solution
The Octopus Multi-Room Entertainment system is a 'whole house entertainment system' which features similar functionality to its sister product the Opus 500 Series Multi-Room Entertainment System and provides an entry-level or budget alternative.

In every room where the system in installed, simple keypads provide access to your audio and video entertainment equipment and simple remote controls deliver control of this equipment.

Octopus Multi-Room is also designed to be integrate seamlessly with Octopus Home Cabling.



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.





The FP-1 is one the smartest litle iPod docking stations you will ever see, not only does it allow you to connect and stream content form any networked PC's in the house, but this little toy downloads and streams you iPod content providing a simple and stylish on screen menu which can be viewed on your TV in any of the zones.

Combined with the 160GB escient CD this provides a complete twin output CD/Ipod server solution






The Escient 160GB CD Server - It’s 160GB internal hard drive provides enough storage for thousands of CDs and if you get tired of those, feel free to tune in to anyone of the free Internet Radio stations. Just think of all the space you’ll save by hiding all those plastic CD cases!

Simple and intuitive on-screen user interface for browsing, selecting, and playing music, Internet Radio stations and for all system configuration and setup functions





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.
