Crestron CNX-AUDIO-6PAK Six-Zone Audio Package
Six-Zone Audio Package: CNX-AUDIO-6PAK
Description
The Crestron Home Six-Zone Audio package (herein known as the CNX-AUDIO-
6PAK) offers simple intuitive configuration of plug-and-play hardware and Crestron
software. It is packaged and priced specifically to provide the user with a complete
six-zone home audio solution.
The CNX-AUDIO-6PAK is also available as an international version. All of the
features are identical with the exceptions of the international AC power requirements
and power cord and the unit nomenclature of the amplifier. Throughout this guide,
all references to CNX-AUDIO-6PAK apply to the CNXI-AUDIO-6PAK as well,
except where noted.
The CNX-AUDIO-6PAK is anchored by the popular Crestron CNMSX-AV control
system and the new CNAMPX-12x60 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier. The new
CNAMPX-12x60 provides 12 channels of amplification with power specifications of
60 Watts per channel (WPC) at 8 ohms, 90 WPC into 4 ohms and 220 WPC bridged
at 8 ohms.
The complete list of hardware components includes:
• CNMSX-AV, control system
• CNAMPX-12x60, multi-channel amplifier (domestic model) or
CNAMPXI-12x60, multi-channel amplifier (international model)
• CNX-PAD8, audio distribution processor
• CN-WP12FW-6, 12-button function keypad (quantity 6 CN-WP12FWs
per pak)
• CNHBLOCK, multi-type network distribution block.
• CNXIRP, Cresnet Infrared Emitter (quantity 4 per pak)
Another member of the CNX-AUDIO-6PAK is the Crestron Audio Six-Pack CD,
which contains among other software, the Audio Six-Pack Wizard. This Wizard
provides an easy four-step configuration of the entire six-zone audio system.

Hardware Setup
Identity Code
Every equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique identity
code (NET ID). These codes are assigned a two-digit hexadecimal number from 03
to FE. For your convenience, all hardware devices in the CNX-AUDIO-6PAK have
been assigned unique NET IDs. However, the six keypads are zone specific. Be sure
to install the given user interface into the appropriate room as defined in the Crestron
Audio Six-Pack Wizard. The room/NET ID key is as follows:
• Room 1 contains keypad with NET ID = 4C
• Room 2 contains keypad with NET ID = 52
• Room 3 contains keypad with NET ID = 53
• Room 4 contains keypad with NET ID = 54
• Room 5 contains keypad with NET ID = 55
• Room 6 contains keypad with NET ID = 56
Network Wiring
Refer to the network wiring diagram on the next page when making all network
connections between the hardware devices of the CNX-AUDIO-6PAK.
Four-Wire Network Connector
The four-wire network cable is used to power Crestron devices. Before making any
four-wire network connections, refer to the network interconnection after this
paragraph and the cautions that follow.

NOTE: Do not power up system until all wiring is verified. Care should be taken to
ensure date (Y,Z) and power (24,G) connections are not crossed. Data "Y" was data
"+". Data "Z" was data"-".
NOTE: The cable consists of 1-#18 AWG twisted pair, tinned copper 1-#22 AWG
twisted pair with shield, tinned copper. There are six twists per foot per pair. The
jacket is teal color and labeled "CRESNET" every two feet. Liberty Wire carries the
cable (reference: CRESNET) and it is available in plenum or non-plenum versions.
NOTE: A CNTBLOCK, network terminal block, is recommended for testing
purposes and convenience of wiring.
CAT 5 Wiring
CAT 5 wiring is also used to power Crestron devices. Before making any CAT 5
connections, refer to the network interconnection after this paragraph and the
cautions that follow.

NOTE: Do not power up system until all wiring is verified. Care should be taken to
ensure date (Y,Z) and power (24,G) connections are not crossed.
NOTE: To calculate maximum CAT 5 cable length, use the following equation:
L = 3000/PF
where L = maximum cable length (feet)
PF = total power factor for equipment on run (watts).

Crestron CNX-AUDIO-6PAK Six-Zone Audio Package
Audio Source Wiring
NOTE: Use good quality shielded interconnects between source equipment,
CNX-PAD8, and CNAMPX-12x60 to minimize noise. Wire gauge depends on
length of run.
Refer to the audio source-wiring diagram on the next page when making audio
connections between the hardware devices of the CNX-AUDIO-6PAK and the
sources.
Advanced Wiring
If the intent is to use the CNX-AUDIO-6PAK in a configuration other than its basic
design, refer to the individual device Operations Guides when making these
"advanced" wiring connections.
