Expanded Distribution of Local Audio Sources

Using the unbalanced (RCA) loop-through I/O connections between the
CNX-BIPAD8s, you can ensure that the head end source inputs on the first
CNX-BIPAD8 can be distributed to the rooms connected to the balanced audio
CAT5 I/Os on other CNX-BIPAD8s.
However, if you wish to distribute local room source audio from rooms connected to
the first CNX-BIPAD8 to rooms connected to a second CNX-BIPAD8, you need to
use the CNX-PBAR4 as shown in the diagram on the next page. The CNX-PBAR4
allows you to maintain the balanced CAT5 I/O connection to/from rooms 1-4 on the
first CNX-BIPAD8, then, via it's internal balanced to unbalanced audio converter, to
loop through the return audio coming back from the rooms to the RCA unbalanced
inputs on the second CNX-BIPAD8. As shown in the diagram, the CNX-PBAR4
will enable Rooms 9-12 to listen to audio being routed from rooms 1-4.
