The Crown® CTs 4200 USP/CN and CTs 8200 USP/CN power amplifiers have an integrated 3rd generation, DSP-based module. It connects the amplifier to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network allowing it to be remotely controlled and monitored via System Architect™ software. In addition, the module allows the transport of real-time digital audio via CobraNet™ over the same Ethernet network. In addition the inputs of the amplifier can be used as the source or sent out via CobraNet.
The CTs 4200 USP/CN and CTs 8200 USP/CN amplifiers connect to a HiQnet™ audio control/monitor network using standard 100Mbps Ethernet hardware (switches, Network Interface Cards, and cables). CobraNet™ audio is available over the same 100 Mbps Ethernet network, providing a simple-to-install, single click solution for audio distribution, control, and monitoring.
The input module’s SHARC DSP processors give the user an enormous amount of digital signal processing. Audio routing, faders, meters, polarity & mute, input compressors, filters, delays, multimode output limiters, error reporting, and load monitoring are all available.
A built in noise generator and sine-wave generator provide noise masking and test capabilities. The enhanced AUX port capability allows the user to interface with the amplifier to provide external manual control and monitoring.
