Autonomic Controls M5-PRO-1TB Music Server professionale 5 stream con matrice DSP, HDD 1TB, rackmount 1U

Managing multi-room audio across a large property often means juggling multiple sources, dealing with signal degradation, and lacking centralized control. The Autonomic Controls M5-PRO-1TB solves this by combining five independent high-resolution audio streams, a robust 1TB internal library, and a powerful DSP matrix into a single 1U rack-mountable unit. It delivers pristine sound to up to five zones simultaneously, with per-zone EQ, routing, and volume control—all from one intuitive interface.

Who is it for

Professional integrators and tech-savvy homeowners who demand a reliable, scalable music server for whole-home audio. Ideal for luxury residences, restaurants, retail spaces, and corporate environments where multiple zones need independent or synchronized playback. If you already use Crestron, Control4, Savant, or similar control systems, the M5-PRO-1TB integrates seamlessly.

Main features

• Five independent audio streams: play different music in five zones at once, or group zones for party mode.
• Integrated DSP matrix: apply per-zone equalization, bass/treble adjustments, and routing without external processors.
• 1TB internal hard drive: store thousands of lossless FLAC or ALAC tracks locally; expand via USB or NAS.
• High-resolution audio: supports up to 24-bit/192kHz on digital outputs for audiophile-grade clarity.
• Dual digital outputs: one coaxial and one optical S/PDIF for connecting to external DACs or receivers.
• Five analog stereo RCA outputs: direct connection to amplifiers or powered speakers for each zone.
• Extensive streaming service support: built-in Pandora, Spotify, SiriusXM, Tidal, Deezer, TuneIn, and more.
• Control system drivers: certified for Crestron, Control4, Savant, RTI, URC, AMX, and Elan.

Tips

For the best sound quality, use the digital outputs to connect to high-end DACs or AV receivers in critical listening zones. Leverage the DSP matrix to compensate for room acoustics—reduce bass boom in large open areas or boost treble in carpeted rooms. If your music library exceeds 1TB, simply add a NAS drive; the M5-PRO-1TB will index and stream from it seamlessly. Take advantage of the control system drivers to create custom scenes, such as "Morning" that starts soft jazz in the kitchen and news in the bedroom. Keep the unit in a well-ventilated rack space, as the internal hard drive and power supply generate some heat during continuous operation.
