Monitor Audio IMS-4 Custom Installation Streamer

Monitor Audio IMS-4 Custom Installation Streamer

Monitor Audios' IMS-4 is a versatile music streaming solution designed for custom install projects requiring premium sound quality.

The IMS-4's BluOS™ technology allows the unit to stream to four separate zones, with its BluOS Controller app offering complete flexibility: streaming from music services, easy access to music libraries and voice control through a smart device.
Accessed through the app, or one of the many supported integrated control systems, multiple IMS-4 Music Streamers can be integrated with other BluOS enabled devices to provide up to 64 zones of music.

Each zone can perform together in perfect sync or play different streams to different zones. Lossless music can be played at up to 24-bit/192kHz to every room in a home network and, through BluOS, IMS-4 can deliver millions of Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) recordings, which captures and recreates the sound of the original studio performance.

Apple AirPlay 2 provides the IMS-4 with even greater flexibility as Siri allows users to request the track they would like to hear and state the room they would like it to be played in. Like BluOS, Apple AirPlay 2 lets the music be enjoyed separately or in sync throughout the home.

The IMS-4 music streamer’s discreet design (1U of rack space) ensures it can be easily incorporated into any custom installation project. Analogue and digital inputs allow the addition of a cable box or other non-network sources and make them available in every zone. The IMS-4 even includes a system interrupt to let doorbells and fire alarms be heard.
Monitor Audio recommends that the IMS-4 is partnered with an installation amplifier such as its IA150-8C. Integrated with Crestron, Control4 and RTI, the IMS-4 is compatible with other BluOS enabled devices.

Who is Monitor Audio?

Started in 1972 by the charismatic Mo Iqbal, Monitor Audio began loudspeaker design and production using tried and tested methods available at that time - plastic cone materials, fabric dome tweeters and reflex loaded braced cabinets. The speakers were welcomed by enthusiasts both in the UK and throughout the World.
