Other Applications

IQ Data Indicator

Flashes when the module receives a valid 

command that is addressed to the CTs 4200 

USP/CN and CTs 8200USP/CN. 

Switches:

Reset/Preset Switch

Used to change presets, restore settings to 

factory default or restore all the presets to 

the factory defaults. During operation of the 

switch, the Data indicator flashes as an aid to 

the user. Accessible with a straightened paper 

clip through the rear panel, the switch selects 

the next user preset if pressed for less than 

2 seconds, resets the module to preset “0” if 

pressed for more than 2 seconds.

General:

Memory Backup: 

Non-volatile FLASH memo-

ries for backup of run-time parameters, pre-

sets, and program storage. 

Communications: 

100Mb Fast Ethernet con-

forming to IEEE 802.3.

DSP Processing:

 Two processors, 32 bit, 

Floating Point, 724 µs latency.

SPECIFICATIONS

USP/CN CobraNet Module Specifications

(for amplifier specifications, see the CTs Multi-

Channel Series pages)

Connectors:

AUX Connector

Configurable for AUX input, AUX output and 

Listen Bus. Listen Bus is also supported 

through CobraNet.

Network Connector

The dual RJ45 CobraNet connectors allow 

a Primary & Secondary connection to the 

100Mb Ethernet network. Should the Primary 

connection lose link activity with the network, 

the input module will automatically switch to 

the Secondary connection to ensure uninter-

rupted audio and control. The indicators on 

the RJ45 connectors display network infor-

mation concerning the Ethernet and CobraNet 

connections.

Indicators:

Preset Indicator

Signals the number of the current preset, if 

active, by flashing a series of flashes equal to 

the current preset number.

CTs 4200USP/CN and CTs 8200USP/CN power amplifiers have an integrated 3rd genera-

tion, DSP-based input module. It connects the amplifier to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network allowing it 

to be remotely controlled and monitored via System Architect™ software. In addition, the input module 

allows  the  transport  of  real-time  digital  audio  via  CobraNet™  over  the  same  Ethernet  network.  The 

amplifiers  connect  to  a  HiQnet™  audio  control/monitor  network  using  standard  100  Mbps  Ethernet 

hardware (switches, Network Interface Cards, and cables). CobraNet™ audio is available over the same 

100 Mbps Ethernet network, providing a simple-to-install, single-plug solution for audio distribution, 

control, and monitoring.
