About the N-Coder
The hand-held N-Coder is used to configure all Input Processing "NC-" Modules except
for DSP modules. The N-Coder allows you to change parameters affecting the amplifer's
level, eq settings, crossover point, etc. Once set, the parameters are stored in non-volatile
memory so that the amp will always power up the same way -- without battery backup.
Processing parameters can also be created and stored ahead of time in the N-Coder with-
out any modules attached, then downloaded to the modules later.
Powering the N-Coder
The N-Coder can be powered from a common 9VDC battery or the supplied 12VDC wall
adapter. To install a battery in the N-Coder, remove the battery cover on the back of the
N-Coder, connect the battery to the snap-on terminal, insert the battery into the cavity, and
replace the cover. To connect the 12VDC wall adapter, insert the adapter cable plug into
the N-Coder's 12VDC In port, and plug the wall adapter into a 120V 60Hz AC mains out-
let. Whether powered by battery or wall adapter, the N-Coder must then be switched on.
(See diagram below). Note:
Notes: The N-Coder does not have an Auto-off feature. As such you must remember to turn
off the unit after use. The unit's Serial Number is also located inside the battery compart-
ment. When a 9VDC battery has been installed in the N-Coder AND the wall adapter is
connected, the N-Coder
will use the wall adapter as
its primary power source.
The N-Coder must always
be self-powered – a con-
nected Input Processing
Module does not supply
power to the N-Coder.

Summary of Contents for Crest Audio N-CODER

  • Page 1 The N-Coder can be powered from a common 9VDC battery or the supplied 12VDC wall adapter. To install a battery in the N-Coder, remove the battery cover on the back of the N-Coder, connect the battery to the snap-on terminal, insert the battery into the cavity, and replace the cover.
  • Page 2 The N-Coder is connected to Input Processing Modules using an RJ-14 cord (supplied). One end of the cord plugs into the N-Coder’s RJ-14 port (located on the top of the N- Coder), and the other end plugs into the Input Processing Module’s Data Port. (See dia- gram below).
  • Page 3 Once you have adjusted a parameter to the desired value, press ENTER. This will cause the displayed parameter value to be saved into the N-Coder’s buffer. This will be indi- cated by the asterisks that appear to either side of the displayed (“current”) value.
  • Page 4 STORE TO MEMORY 1: ??? Notice the second line of the display. N-Coder permits the storage of up to 32 module pre- sets; the display above indicates that preset #1 is empty and is ready to use for storage. With the ‘Up’ [ ] and ‘Down’ [ ] VALUE keys, you may scroll among the 32 presets.
  • Page 5 READ FROM MEMORY: 1: NC-IPN (Note that N-Coder will not permit module settings for one type of module to be down- loaded to a different module type). Press ENTER to move the display presets from N- Coder memory to the N-Coder's buffer. N-Coder will briefly display:...
  • Page 6 N-Coder's power. Scroll through the modules by using the ‘Up’ and ‘Down’VALUE keys, and press ENTER to select the desired module type. (NC-IPN is used as an example here). The N-Coder will then display parameters, beginning with:...
