<<AXA>> Residential Audio Products

The AXA CN Series is a modular audio distribution system that minimizes cabling, and provides flexibility for system expansion (increase in inputs and / or zone outputs). Cable minimization is achieved using Ethernet for control and digital audio. The CN Series has an Ethernet serial bridge which provides DyNet control to all CN Series devices on the network. Optional Power over Ethernet allows flexibility in installation location by providing power to the CN Series modules.

The system allows up to 32 bi-directional stereo audio channels (ie: 64 stereo channels) to be sent over a 100MBit Ethernet network using standard Ethernet cabling and equipment. The system is completely modular so CNI4A (input modules) can be placed wherever inputs are located and CNO4 (output modules) can be located in close proximity to audio zone power amplifiers.

The AXA CN Series provides the option to move away from traditional centralized audio distribution systems. This provides the following benefits:

Power, Control and Digital Audio over a single Cat5 Ethernet cable
Ability to distribute any input to any output on the network
The system is expanded by adding more input / output modules
Uncompressed 24 Bit @ 48kHz sample rate high quality audio
CobraNet SNR 146.24dB / THD 0.0000049% and Frequency response 0 to 24kHz
Real Time Audio Distribution over Ethernet
Very low latency removes issues with audio and video sync
Fully Integrated DSP core with the ability for custom designs
7 Band Parametric EQ including Rock/Pop/Jazz/Classical presets
DyNet control sent between modules over Ethernet
Network transmission distance is 100m over Cat5 copper cable (IEE802.3u)
Channel capacity can be increased 10 times by using Gigabit Ethernet
Allows coexistence of ordinary computer data on the same network
Provides easy integration to other CobraNet™ devices
Supports Power over Ethernet (IEE802.3af)
Australian designed / manufactured

CNI4A – 4 Stereo Source Input Module
The CNI4A is a 4 channel stereo input module with adjustable input gain / 7 band EQ with presets. This device features real time setup using AXA Configuration Software.

CNO4A – 4 Stereo Zone Output Module
The CNO4A is a 4 zone stereo output module with adjustable volume / 7 band EQ with presets and a contact closure output for power amplifier control. This device is configured using AXA Configuration Software and is controlled via a Dynalite RS485 network.
