Description
AMX MU-3300 MUSE Controller
The AMX MU-3300 is a compact 1 RU networked control processor built for venues, studios, and touring operations that demand rock-solid system reliability. This unit delivers the processing power and connectivity infrastructure to manage complex AV systems, lighting, climate control, and device automation from a single consolidated platform. Built on HARMAN's secure Linux foundation, it operates with the responsiveness and stability your sound team depends on in live environments and mission-critical installations.
Processing & Connectivity Architecture
At its core, the MU-3300 houses a modern embedded processor that operates 10x faster than AMX NX Controllers, paired with 4 GB DDR3 RAM and 8 GB eMMC non-volatile memory for stable, high-speed command execution. Connectivity spans 8 serial ports (2 RS232/422/485 + 6 RS232), 8 IR ports, 8 relay outputs, 8 I/O ports (analog in, digital in/out), dual Ethernet RJ45 ports (standard 10/100 BASE-T plus dedicated ICSLan for isolated device networking), USB-C programming interface, and three USB-A ports—all accessed via mini-Phoenix connectors for secure field connections and quick setup between gigs.
Power & Physical Integration
The unit draws minimal power—36W maximum consumption at 3A typical current draw from a flexible 9–18 VDC input range (12 VDC nominal)—making it compatible with standard rack power supplies and backup systems. Its 1 RU form factor slots seamlessly into existing AV racks without spatial compromise, while professional connector standards ensure tool-free installation and the field reliability your touring or venue operation demands.
