R.S.V.P. Remote Switching Voltage Provider
1 Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the Crown
R.S.V.P. (Remote Switching Voltage
Provider) accessory module, de-
signed for use with Crown's CT-10
series amplifiers. The R.S.V.P. takes
advantage of Crown's CT-10 series'
soft-start feature, eliminating the
need for expensive sequencing
equipment or complicated startup
routines.
Using Crown's R.S.V.P. module, you
can control the power-up/power-
down function of your CT-10 series
amplifier from across the room—or
across the stadium. Each R.S.V.P.
unit controls 21 amplifier remote
jacks. That's enough to control a 6-
foot (1.83 meter) rack of amplifiers
and still have one jack left over to
Figure 1.1 R.S.V.P. top view
Figure 1.2 R.S.V.P. left side view
chain to another R.S.V.P. Units are in-
dividually powered, allowing you to
daisy-chain any number of R.S.V.P. s
for remote control of an unlimited
number of amplifiers.
Power-up/power-down can be con-
trolled using an auxiliary device
(such as an IQ System ) via the aux
port, or through the use of a pair of
momentary switches. Remote mo-
mentary switches can be connected
in parallel, so your amps can be con-
trolled from various locations: front of
house, backstage, lighting booth,
and so on. With a maximum switch-
ing distance of up to 2000 feet (609.6
meters) per unit, the R.S.V.P. can
provide on/off capabilities any-
where—or everywhere—you need it.
