CA-500 / CA-1000 / CA-1050 Overview

The CA (controllable audio) series of products from Calypso bring high quality, fully controlled
audio to classrooms, board rooms, training facilities and other small room applications in need of
compact, easy-to-use integrated audio. The CA-500 and CA-1000 audio amplifiers deliver 32W
of extraordinarily clean power, optimized for 4 ohm and 8 ohm speakers, while providing full IR
and Serial control. The CA-500 delivers a single balanced or unbalanced input and stereo
output, while the CA-1000 offers three stereo and one mono input, with an on-board mixer for
defining presets, digital gain control and automated ducking when microphone input is
detected. And when more power is needed, the CA-1050 pre-amp can be used for multi-
channel control over nearly any consumer or professional quality amplifier, still within the same
compact format.
CA Series setup is through its on-board serial programming port, using its companion CA-Config
software utility, a simple, graphical interface used to configure all variable settings on CA-500,
CA-1000 and CA-1050 units. This user manual reviews all three CA models and CA-Config
software, which automatically detects which model it s connected to, and presents the
appropriate configuration options for that model. CA-Config is not designed to function as an
end-user interface, but is intended as a configuration utility used only by authorized Calypso
resellers.
