CTs SERIES

Input module on back panel

he Crown® CTs 4200USP/CN and CTs 8200USP/CN power ampliﬁ ers have an integrated 3rd generation, DSP-based

PIP™ (Programmable Input Processor) input module. It connects the ampliﬁ er to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network allowing it to be remotely controlled and monitored via System Architect™ software. In addition, the input module allows the transport of real-time digital audio via CobraNet™ over the same Ethernet network.

The CTs 4200USP/CN and CTs 8200USP/CN ampliﬁ ers connect to a HiQnet™ audio control/monitor network using standard 100 Mbps Ethernet hardware (switches, Network Interface Cards, and cables). CobraNet™ audio is available over the same 100 Mbps Ethernet network, providing a simple-to-install, singleplug 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, ﬁ lters, 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 ampliﬁ er to provide external manual control and monitoring.

These ampliﬁ ers require Harman Pro System Architect software available from www.crownaudio/forums.

Input Module Speciﬁ cations

Connectors:

AUX Connector

Conﬁ gurable for AUX input, AUX output and Listen Bus. Listen Bus is also supported through CobraNet.

Network Connector

The dual RJ45 CobraNet connectors allow a Primary & Secondary connection to the 100Mb Ethernet network. Should the Primary connection lose link activity with the network, the input module will automatically switch to the Secondary connection to ensure uninterrupted audio and control. The indicators on the RJ45 connectors display network information concerning the Ethernet and CobraNet connections.

Indicators:

Preset Indicator

Signals the number of the current preset, if active, by ﬂ ashing a series of ﬂ ashes equal to the current preset number.

IQ Data Indicator

Flashes when the module receives a valid command that is addressed to the CTs 4200 USP/CN and CTs 8200USP/CN.

Switches:

Reset/Preset Switch

Used to change presets, restore settings to factory default or restore all the presets to the factory defaults. During operations of the switch, the Data indicator ﬂ ashes as an aid to

• Dual, uncorrelated noise generators for noise masking

• Sine generator

• Load supervision

• Full error reporting

• Firmware upgrades via the network

• 10 user selectable presets

• Reliable FLASH memory backup of all parameters

• Three Year, No-Fault, Fully Transferable Warranty completely protects your investment and guarantees its speciﬁ cations

the user. Accessible with a straightened paper clip through the rear panel, selects the next user preset if pressed for less than 2 seconds, resets the module to preset “0” if pressed for more than 2 seconds.

Crown’s Three-Year, No-Fault, Fully Transferable Warranty

Crown offers a Three-Year, No-Fault, Fully Transferable Warranty for every new Crown ampliﬁ er— an unsurpassed industry standard. With this unprecedented No-Fault protection, your new Crown ampliﬁ er is warranted to meet or exceed original speciﬁ cations for the ﬁ rst three years of ownership. During this time, if your unit fails, or does not perform to original speciﬁ cations, it will be repaired or replaced at our expense. About the only things not covered by this warranty are those losses normally covered by insurance and those cuased by intentional abuse. And the coverage is transferable, should you sell your ampliﬁ er.

See your authorized Crown dealer for full warranty disclosure and details. For customers outside of the USA, please contact your authorized Crown distributor for warranty information or call 574-294-8200.
