AMX MU-2300 – MUSE AV Controller with 4 Serial, 4 IR, 4 I/O, 4 Relay and ICSLan

Product Overview

The AMX MU-2300 is the mid-range MUSE Series AV controller, delivering 4 serial, 4 IR, 4 digital I/O, and 4 relay ports alongside a dedicated ICSLan control port. It handles complete single-room AV control without expansion modules, covering projection, display switching, screen lifts, lighting relays, and source selection from a single compact chassis.

Product Description

The AMX MU-2300 mid-range room automation controller offers the broadest onboard I/O in the compact MUSE lineup, making it a self-contained AV control system for conference rooms, training rooms, and auditorium ante-rooms that would otherwise require expansion modules on smaller MUSE controllers. Its 4 RS-232 serial ports support simultaneous wired control of multiple displays, matrix switchers, or DSPs, while the 4 IR ports handle consumer devices and the 4 relay outputs manage motorized screens, room dividers, and lighting presets. As a PoE-powered AV controller with ICSLan, it installs above the ceiling without a separate power supply and connects directly to the AMX control network. The MUSE graphical programming environment makes multi-device room control deployment faster and more maintainable than traditional script-based processors, particularly for integrators managing large portfolios of standardized room types.

Key Features

• 4 RS-232 serial ports — Simultaneous wired control of displays, switchers, DSPs, and AV sources.
• 4 IR/serial ports — Infrared control of consumer and commercial AV devices.
• 4 relay ports — Built-in relay outputs for screens, lighting, and room hardware — no extender required.
• 4 digital I/O ports — Contact closure for occupancy, push-button, and sensor integration.
• ICSLan + standard LAN — Dual network ports for isolated AV control traffic.
• PoE powered — 802.3at PoE; no separate PSU needed.
• MUSE graphical programming — Streamlined deployment for standard room AV scenarios.

Typical Applications

• Conference room with display, switcher, screen, and lighting
• Training room AV control
• Boardroom full AV automation
• Multi-device room with relay-controlled shading

Competitor Comparison

The MU-2300 matches the Extron IPCP Pro 350 on I/O count while adding PoE and undercutting typical CP4-N pricing. Rooms requiring more than 4 serial ports should consider the MU-3300.
