Crestron C2N-DAP8RC Digital Audio Processor with Room Control

Operations Guide – DOC. 8187A Digital Audio Processor with Room Control: C2N-DAP8RC • 5

Parametric Equalizer

The parametric equalizer consists of eight channels (one for each speaker) of six
bandpass filter sections that permit you to correct for acoustic anomalies in the
listening area or in the speakers themselves, and/or to establish preset values that
enhance the sound conditions for favorite music or recording types.
The six bands are identical in function. Each delivers up to 12 dB of boost or
attenuation, has an adjustable bandwidth control (from .02 octaves to 2 octaves), and
a center frequency control range from 10 Hz to 20 kHz. Use each band anywhere in
the audio spectrum, not just pre-selected ranges as typically found on graphic
equalizers. In addition, you can select from among five filter types (low pass, high
pass, EQ filter, bass shelf, and treble shelf) or select no filter.

Room Control Options

The C2N-DAP8RC also functions as a Cresnet® room control interface to local AV
and other devices such as TVs, projectors, VCRs, and DVD players. The unit may
receive video and digital audio from the Crestron CNX-PVID8, as well as analog
audio from the CNX-BIPAD8, all via CAT5 cabling. In addition, it receives video,
digital audio and analog audio from local sources via standard RCA connections.
The unit’s built-in audio/video matrix switcher distributes these inputs to local
outputs.
One bi-directional RS-232 and four IR ports are provided. A current sensor input
accepts power status feedback from the optional CNXRMCS current sensor
(available separately). In addition, a powered IR input allows connection of the
optional CNXRMIRD IR sensor (available separately) to receive IR commands from
a Philips Pronto® with RC5 commands or a similar universal remote control, which
may be programmed to control any device connected to the Cresnet system.
Naturally, any Crestron touchpanel or pushbutton control panel may be used with the
C2N-DAP8RC as well.
Finally, the unit provides outputs for directing video and analog audio back to the
head end.
