inputs to any of the eight outputs. The following simplified diagram illustrates the
internal signal routing.
Simplified Audio Signal Routing
Up to four units can be daisy-chained via the RCA loop-through connectors to
extend distribution to up to 32 rooms.
The CNX-BIPAD8 preamplifier circuits provide the following controls for each of
the eight RCA outputs:
•
Loudness — Activates the loudness function, commonly found on stereo
amplifiers, to boost low- and high-frequency signals at low volume settings
to compensate for natural hearing limitations at lower volume levels.
•
Volume — Sets minimum and maximum volume levels and controls the
relative audio level within that range.
•
Balance, Bass, and Treble — Specifies levels for these settings relative to a
50% neutral or balanced signal.
•
Mono — Changes the audio setting from stereo to mono (monaural) mode.
•
Compensation — Source gain compensation that normalizes input levels
from different sources; for example, setting the volume range of a VCR
equal to that of a CD player.
•
Mute — Electronically attenuates signal.
•
On/Off — Activates electronic relays that cut sound to a room.
Optional source and numeric keypads or any other Crestron network panel or
touchpanel may be added to the individual rooms to interface with the CNX-
BIPAD8. For more information regarding such devices, refer to the Downloads |
Product Manuals section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com).
NOTE: Unit does not ship with default parameters for adjustable values (bass,
treble, or compensation). These values must be set in the program for the unit to
operate correctly.
