The SM428 Nutone is a stereo radio-intercom which even by today's standard is a good system. The SM428 is easily replaced by the M & S DMC3-4. In updating to the DMC3-4, you will be able to use your existing wiring. The SM428 is an 8 wire(4 twisted pairs) system. The DMC3-4 is a 4 wire system. When wiring the new system you will simply ignore two of the twisted pairs. Below we have included a station by station break down of the update.

| Procedure for stereo speaker | To achieve true stereo music, you will need to extend your speaker wires to the nearest open location. There they will be connected to the MC960PA stereo amplifier. The MC960PA can be mounted in the basement or a closet and connect to the DMC3-4 via the MS7XSC cable. | |

your room. It comes with a volume control (not shown) for music only. It
will mount to your existing metal frame If intercom is desired, you would need to use the DMC4R with the DMC1HR frame and do some wall patching. |

replaced. You will need to change the speakers cones to a 45 ohm cone (available
thru R & I) -or- you can use the FMBM stereo speaker with the SAMB rough-in. It is 15" tall and 11" wide, so you will need to do some patching along the sides. If you have these connected to the SR-42 control, you will replace the control with the SVC96, this fits in a single gang electric box |
