The Control Bus allows any compatible Cambridge products to synchronise
when powering up the units. See the following diagrams when connecting
the CXA using the provided Control Bus cable.
Another added feature with this Control Bus is the use of the Cambridge
Connect app. You can use the Cambridge Connect app to control the CXA
via the CXN.

o. The app can also be used to control the volume of the CXA. Connect
the CXN control bus out to CXA in. For more information, see the CXN
