DPCN – Optional HiQnet Network Input Module  
with CobraNet™ Digital Audio

 

 

  

See Figure 1d

In addition to all features included on the DPAN, the DPCN input module adds CobraNet and offers 

the ability to direct up to 6 audio channels on one network, with digital audio and remote control and 

monitoring via Ethernet combined on a single cable. 
DPCN modules include the option to use an analog input as a backup audio source providing complete 

reliability and flexibility to cover any situation.  
The 

HiQnet System Architect™

 software user interface provides remote access to digital speaker preset files 

in the JBL DrivePack®. As with the DPAN, user-addressable features include ten user defined presets, up 

to  seconds of delay per channel, onboard noise and sine-wave generators, network device event logging, 

and user alert messaging.
