16 Channel Professional Audio
Amplifier: CNAMPX-16X60
Description
Functional Description
The CNAMPX-16X60 is a Crestron
control network (Cresnet
) 16 channel, 60-
Watts per channel audio amplifier. Typically installed in addition to the CNX-PAD8,
the unit provides remote system power on/off and remote zone on/off capabilities.
The CNAMPX-16X60 reports any electrical fault within itself or from a speaker
load. The voltage from each speaker terminal is monitored and ambient temperature
within the enclosure is reported via Cresnet and is available as Fahrenheit or Celsius.
These signals can be used to reduce the audio volume, activate an external cooling
fan, or turn the unit off under program control.
All audio connectors are gold plated to prevent corrosion and five types of wire
terminations can connect to the audio outputs. Highly efficient twin toroid
transformers provide ample power to eight two-channel amplifier modules. The eight
modules are of Crestron Detachable Modular Component (CDMC) design that
allows rapid field repair. Each channel (two per module) of each module has its own
power supply and filter capacitors that produce over 108,000 microFarads for
enhanced dynamic range. The heat sinks of each channel contain more than 300
square inches of radiating surface allowing cooler operation. No fans are required but
the unit must have a minimum of one rack space above and below for adequate
ventilation.
Physical Description
The CNAMPX-16X60, shown on the next page, is housed in a black enclosure with
silk-screened labels on the front and rear panels. The enclosure consists of 13-gauge
powder-coated steel with stainless steel screws. The front panel contains the main
power switch and light-emitting diode (LED). All audio input and output, Cresnet,
and power connections are made on the rear panel. There are four rubber feet on the
base of the unit for stability and to prevent slippage and two mounting ears with
screws are provided for rack mounting.
