Among the wave of multi-room audio products on the market, Crestron audio distribution processors are set apart for their unmatched flexibility and no-compromise performance. Features like independent software-driven preamp-style controls on every room output enable the most demanding user to tailor the listening experience to individual taste in every room. Any audio parameter or device function can be controlled using keypads, handheld remotes, touchpanels, or computers, putting just the right amount of control right where it's needed.

8 Stereo Sources x Up to 32 Rooms

The CNX-PAD8A is a high performance 8 x 8 stereo audio switcher and preamplifier, providing distribution of 8 stereo audio sources to 8 room outputs. Up to four CNX-PAD8A's may be combined to handle as many as 32 rooms*. Every room output includes independent control over volume, bass, treble, balance, loudness, and mute. Mono summing is also built in to facilitate distribution to non-stereo zones.

Advanced Features

Additional features make the CNX-PAD8A a truly refined audio component. Programmable input gain compensation assures a consistent level when switching between input sources. Scaling factor settings allow minimum and maximum levels to be defined for each room output. And, protective relays on each output prevent "thumps" during power-up and provide total attenuation when any room is turned off.

Together with any 2-Series control system, Crestron's audio distribution processors provide an extensively customizable audio control solution. For the ultimate in audio performance, just add a CNAMPX-series multi-room amplifier to form a total, intelligent audio head-end.
