 Works fine, but needs documentationSep 22, 2008
By Dan
The M&S/Linear DS3B is a fully functional door station for use with several of the M&S/Linear intercom systems. It includes a two-way speaker through which visitors can communicate, as well as a lit doorbell button.
The biggest issue with the door station is that it seems to lack any real documentation. The speaker unit has two wires coming out of it, which are easily enough to wire. However, the doorbell button has no wires, leaving one to guess about how it should be wired. There are two screws near the button on the back, so it seems apparent that one should simply hook the two needed wires (coming from the wall) to these screws. Unfortunately, this doesn't work. What is actually required is the total removal of these screws as if to take it apart. When one does this, the button comes apart, revealing two smaller screws inside which are actually the ones which need to be wired. Not knowing this results in a lot of wasted time and head scratching when the doorbell fails to ring.
Other than the wiring confusion, though, no complaints, and the fact that the doorbell button lights up is nice at night.

Easy to installJun 06, 2006
By A. Vale
This unit is designed to work with an existing 4 wire intercom installation. It does not include the rough-in kit (the box inside the wall).
I bought this to replace an ancient, broken, M&S door intercom.
It arrived without instructions but installation was a breeze. There are four connections to make, two for the speaker and two for the lighted button. You have to remove a small cover on the back of the button when connecting the wires.
The faceplace screw positions are identical to my old (15+ years) faceplate.
The whole operation took less than five minutes.

 works great, easy install, but no documentationJun 11, 2009
By JoeVegas
I used this to replace an inoperative door bell/speaker from an M&S system that was installed in 1994. It fit perfectly in the existing front door bell/speaker box. As others have said you have to remove a small cover to attach the wires to the door bell-no big deal. It took me 15 minutes to install with an extra set of hands to help. The lit bell is nice and the speaker sounds very clear. I'm very happy with this purchase an I'd buy again.

no complaintsAug 11, 2009
By David M. Roderick III
I bought a house built in 89 and I think the intercom system was original. Wired this thing up and it worked perfectly with the existing intercom system. The only trick was to figure out the buttom combinations to push to get the "listen" and "talk" functions to work on the base station. Also, the added bonus which I did not anticipaet was that the screw holes actually perfectly lined up with the old system. I couldn't have been more lucky with this purchase.

 M&S Systems Audio and Door Bell SystemJan 13, 2011
By Michael
The company does not stand by their system. They relagate any repairs on their systems to companies that service a variety of products and services (such as alarm companies) and these companies don't know what to do with the M&S systems. I have a system that I purchased two years ago, had it repaired numerous times but it still doesn't work. Upon contacting the M&S company, they give tech advice over the phone but you may be on your own to translate their advice into an actual repair.
