Monitor Audio IMS-4 Music Streamer

Monitor Audio’s new IMS-4 Music Streamer is the latest addition to its range of superior custom install solutions. Featuring BluOS™, the IMS-4 can stream up to four separate zones. Its BluOS Controller app offers true flexibility of operation including easy access to music libraries and streaming from music services, which can also be voice controlled through a smart device.

BluOS allows streaming of lossless music up to 24-bit/192 kHz to every room in a home network. Accessed through the BluOS app, or one of the many supported integrated control systems, multiple IMS-4 Music Streamers can be integrated with other BluOS devices to provide up to 64 zones of music, with each zone able to play together in perfect sync or to simultaneously play different streams to separate zones.

With BluOS the IMS-4 delivers millions of Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) recordings, presenting music that can be heard exactly as the artist intended, and approved by the studio, anywhere in the home. The IMS-4 provides a seamless music experience and ensures there are no skips or delays.

To power the music, the IMS-4 should be partnered with an installation amplifier such as Monitor Audio’s IA150-8C.

Integrated with Crestron, Control4 and RTI, the IMS-4 is also compatible with other BluOS enabled devices.

Analogue and digital inputs allow the addition of a cable box or other non-network sources and make them available in every zone. It even includes a system interrupt feature to let doorbells and fire alarms to be heard. All of this class-leading technology fits into a slimline form: the IMS-4 occupies just 1U rack space.
