5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Product, August 28, 2010

This intercom is amazing! I have a child with multiple life-threatening allergies. I need intercom in various areas of the house so that I don't have to follow him wherever he goes. I set my kitchen, office, master bedroom, and master bathroom stations on "listening" mode all the time. So I can stay in those rooms, carry out my usual chore and still be able to hear what he's doing. I can literally hear my child scratching! The sound is that clear. I max'ed out the total number of stations allowed per master and it's still that clear. The system is so versatile. I can turn certain stations off from "monitor" or "intercom" mode, but when I need to, I can still press a whole-house talk button and everyone can hear me. This feature is unique to this product. Other intercoms don't have this feature, so that I can not communicate to those in rooms where the intercom stations are set to the "monitor" mode. Individual stations can set to "privacy", then that intercom/room won't get... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars A problematic system, May 9, 2011

We just moved into an older house that had a 20 year M&S Intercom System. I saw that M&S made a retrofit unit and bought the DMC3-4 system to modernize the intercom. It has been very disappointing. The music quality is much worse due to the fact that the speakers are tiny compared to the original system. The sound reminds of a cheap 1970's transistor radio. We have also had a lot of problems with "squawking" noises and other types of noise interference that has made this system not very usable. The tech support from the company is very limited. They blame the existing wiring but offer little ideas or help on how to troubleshoot. I think the engineering quality of this product is very poor and I would not recommend this system.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not better than your working old intercom, October 18, 2011
This review is from: M & S Systems DMC3-4 Whole House Music and Communication System Master Unit - Retrofit System (Electronics)
I purchased this unit to replace an old 1974 intercom in my home with 12 speakers. To my surprise the old unit was many times better in sound quality of music and voice. It was difficult to install due to the connectors on the master unit. The tuner picks up a 1/3 the stations the old unit did. AM is specially bad. What a shame with all the modern technology we can't make a unit that is at least comparable with 1974!

Another thing to keep in mind is that if you have at least 4 conductors in you home, use them and don't go with the 3 conductor setup. If you do, when you make an intercom call you can't listen in after the call, so the person receiving the call has to walk to the speaker to answer.
