R-Control with CobraNet:

When the CobraNet module is installed inside a loudspeaker, you have the ability to monitor each
individual amplifier channel inside the loudspeaker.  This feature allows you to remotely listen to the
audio coming out of each amplifier channel located inside self-powered loudspeakers.  This feature
is not available on the CobraNet Breakout box.

For example, if you would like to listen to the midrange amplifier output, via R-Control you select
the desired loudspeaker and then select Ch 2 in the CobraNet section and that channel will be
transmitted back down the CobraNet network.

R-Control and CobraNet Combiner Box (RC-CAT5BOX):

Normally the R-Control network uses a twisted pair of wires for the network connections.  R-Control
can be sent down the CobraNet CAT5 cable by using the unused pairs of wires on the CAT5 cable.
The R-Control and CobraNet Combiner Box (RC-CAT5BOX) can be used for accomplishing this.
The Combiner connects the twisted pair network to the unused wires on the CAT5 cable.  One
Combiner must be used at the R-Control computer and at each switch location on the CobraNet
network.
