The 2071 Nutone radio-intercom is an older unit that is easily replaced by the current IM-3303 system. The 2071 was a 5 wire system. The wire consisted of a twisted pair plus 3 separate wires. When installing the new IM-3303 system, you can use the existing wiring. The IM-3303 is a 3 wire system, so you will simply not use the twisted pair when installing the new system. Below is a list of the old item and the replacement.
Original Nutone System | Suggested Nutone Replacement | |
2071 Master | IM-3303 Master
| The IM-3303 is not high enough to cover the old hole, but there is an update frame called the IA-119 will cover the hole and the footprint of the old unit. |
2401A Master Rough-in | IR-104 Rough-in
| The IR-104 rough-in is 1/4"8" narrower than the old rough-in. The little gap on top and bottom of the new rough-in will be covered by the master station. The 2071 has 120 volt AC run to the Rough-in, so wiring power to the IM-3303's 2 transformers is easy. |
N2027 Speaker
| IS-338 | The IS-338 is large enough to cover the hole and footprint of the old speakers. |
2025A Rough-in | IR-80 | To install the IR-80, you will have to open up your existing hole by approximately 1" on the sides and 2" top and bottom. |
2081 Inside Speaker
| IS-338 with IA-83 Frame | Nutone has made an update frame called the IA-83 that will screw into the old IR-8 rough-in. This then enables you to mount the IR-80 rough- in for the IS-448 into the IA-83 adapter frame. Since you will be using your old rough-in to hold the adapter frame, there is no wall work required. This makes the change out easy. |

| IS-78 with IA-80 Frame
| Nutone has made an update frame called the IA-80 that will screw into the old IR-8 rough-in. This then enables you to mount the IR-80 rough- in for the IS-78 into the IA-80 adapter frame. Since you will be using your old rough-in to hold the adapter frame, there is no wall work required. This makes the change out easy. |
412 Door Speaker | IS-70 with IA-70 Mounting Frame | The 412 was a surface mounted speaker. By using the IA-70 frame, you can surface mount the IS-70 door speaker. Since the IM-3303 is a hands free system, there is no talk/listen switch on the IS-70. When connecting the new system, you would use the silver and center wire and ignore the copper. |
2006 Door Speaker | IS-70 | The IS-70 door speaker will fit right in the existing rough-in. It is a hands free system and only requires that you use 2 of the 3 wires that are running to your front door. You would use the center and silver wire when installing the new door speaker. |
2007 Door Speaker
| IS-70 | The IS-70 door speaker will fit right in the existing rough-in. It is a hands free system and only requires that you use 2 of the 3 wires that are running to your front door. You would use the center and silver wire when installing the new door speaker. |
2084 Outside Controls
| Ic-331W | Your controls should be surface mounted, if so they are easily replaceable by the surface mount IC-331W |
2084 Remote Controls
| IC-331 | This can be a little tricky, but the IR-91 which is the rough-in for the IC-331 should fit right into the 3 gang box that the old control was mounted in. Then it is a matter of simply mounting the new control to the rough-in. The rough-in measure 6 1/8"x 3 1/4". The IC-331 measures 7"x 4", so it should cover the old hole. |
2084 Outside Speaker | IS-79 | The 2014 and the IS-79 are similar in appearance. They both have a metal grill. The old 2014 is 1 " larger than the IS-79 but the new IS-79 should mount in the old rough-in. |
The M & S system offers an add-on 6-disc CD player and the option of adding stereo music via the MC960A amplifier.

plate to cover the area of the 2067. The DMCFC is the trim plate for the
DMC1HC The 2071 has 120 volt AC run to the Rough-in, so AC power for the new rough-in is already there. |
| 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. | |
N2027 Speaker | DMC3R | The DMC3R is used with the DMCFR to attach to the current metal rough-in frame and cover the old hole. It makes a very easy and quick change out. |
