Signal Distribution to More than Eight Rooms
Each CNX-BIPAD8 is capable of distributing audio to eight rooms, maximum. It is
possible to expand distribution to more rooms if additional CNX-BIPAD8s are
introduced to the system. Crestron recommends a maximum of four CNX-BIPAD8s
per system. Therefore, audio can be distributed to a maximum of 32 rooms.
NOTE: Connecting more than four CNX-BIPAD8s via loop-through may result in
diminished audio quality and signal degradation.
The sixteen sets of four RCA jacks connect independent audio sources to the
CNX-BIPAD8. Of each set, two of the connectors are used for left and right audio
channels; the other two are parallel stereo loop-throughs. The loop-through jacks can
be used for daisy-chaining additional CNX-BIPAD8s, as shown in the following
figure.
