Describe your product's design and / or technological innovation.

The Autonomic eSeries Mirage Audio System MAS-4-2e is a scalable four room/two stream music system featuring proprietary eAudioCast™ audio-over-Ethernet technology. Composed of the MMS-1e single stream music player and the four-room M-120e amplifier, this high-performance package delivers the features and performance consumers are looking for in a whole-house entertainment solution. The advanced eAudioCast audio-over-Ethernet technology from Autonomic transforms the single stream offered on the MMS-1e into two network streams when paired with an eSeries amplifier, and one Cat5e cable is all that is required to connect the MMS-1e and the M-120e amp at high-resolution bitrates. This is a vital development for integrators, who will appreciate the flexibility of being able to decentralize the placement of eSeries amplifiers, making it dramatically less difficult to bring two independent streams of digital entertainment into the most challenging-to-reach zones in any environment. The MMS-1e supports both wired and bi-directional Wi-Fi connections for increased installation efficiency for hard-to-reach locations. Additionally, the MMS-1e and M-120e each reside in a new compact form factor, enabling integrators to more easily locate these components along with source devices anywhere in the home. Autonomic eSeries systems with eAudioCast technology can easily scale up to 96 rooms by adding additional Ethernet connected M-120e amplifiers wherever it’s convenient while preserving high-resolution digital music playback capability. Applications requiring more than two simultaneous music streams can just as easily add additional MMS-1e streamers, each of which will make two additional programs available to the entire eSeries network. With the eSeries Mirage Audio System MAS-4-2e, integrators now have access to a whole-house music solution that saves them installation time, reduces the space required for hardware and offers superb audio playback quality all from a trusted manufacturer and member of the CEDIA community. The eSeries Mirage Audio System MAS-4-2e is a product that will excite end-users with features, functionality and performance while providing integrators with a more affordable high-performance entertainment package that is profitable, scalable and opens the door to future sales as well.

Describe the benefits that your product provides to the integrator.

One of the most critical product categories for integrators is whole-house entertainment. The eSeries Mirage Audio System MAS-4-2e is a powerful yet affordable solution that delivers critical features while solving many installation hurdles for the integrator. The MAS-4-2e helps integrators differentiate themselves from competitors by offering a flexible and profitable package that can be easily expanded with the changing needs of the client. The scalability of the Autonomic eAudioCast platform enables integrators to provide the basic four room system with the option to expand up to 96 rooms of music playback with up to 32 simultaneous audio streams. The MAS-4-2e delivers vastly superior performance when compared to consumer audio products from big-box stores, featuring high-resolution audio playback capability in a four room/two stream music system. Autonomic’s proprietary eAudioCast™ audio-over-Ethernet technology means that the music player and amplifier are connected using a single Cat5e cable at high-resolution bitrates. This is a vital development for integrators, who will appreciate the flexibility of being able to decentralize the placement of eSeries amplifiers, making it dramatically less difficult to bring digital entertainment into the most challenging-to-reach zones. And to further solve installation challenges, the MMS-1e single stream music player supports both wired and bi-directional Wi-Fi connections for increased installation efficiency for hard-to-reach locations. Both the MMS-1e and M-120e each reside in a new compact form factor, enabling integrators to more easily locate these components anywhere in the home. With the Mirage Audio System MAS-4-2e, integrators now have access to a profitable whole-house music solution only sold through the custom channel. The system has been engineered to save installation time while delivering superb audio playback quality all from a trusted member of the CEDIA community. Technically speaking, the MAS-4-2e comes equipped with a tremendous array of useful features and innovations. The MMS-1e media server offers flexible output options, supporting one analog output through its onboard high-performance 192 kHz /24 bit DAC, plus mirrored high-resolution PCM digital outputs in both Coax and HDMI formats. Autonomic has eliminated all moving parts from its entire eSeries lineup with solid state storage and re-engineered passive cooling systems, translating to years of trouble free and silent performance, lower power consumption and more fluid responsiveness for users. The compact and easy-to-mount M-120e Mirage Digital Amplifier supports four rooms of audio at 30-Watts per zone and can provide simultaneous amplification for two local source inputs (cable boxes, satellite receivers, paging, etc.) and four eAudioCast streams in up to four independent zones. The M-120e can be placed anywhere in the home with a wired Cat5e Ethernet connection or wirelessly when used with the MMS-1e media server.
