Crestron CNX-PBAR4 Professional Balanced Audio Receiver
Professional Balanced Audio
Receiver: CNX-PBAR4
Introduction
Features and Functions
The CNX-PBAR4 Professional Balanced Audio Receiver consists of four identical
differential receiver channels and is designed to work with the Crestron
CNXRMCLV Room Solution Box and CNX-BIPAD8 Audio Distribution Processor.
Balanced output of local audio sources from the CNXRMCLV room box is routed
via CAT5 cabling to the CNX-PBAR4 at the head-end. The balanced audio is
buffered and routed from the CNX-PBAR4 to a CNX-BIPAD8 for additional
distribution. The CNX-PBAR4 also converts the signal from balanced to single-
ended, and outputs the audio on RCA jacks. This line-level audio is routed to a
CNX-BIPAD8 or CNX-PAD8A for distribution to other room boxes, amplifiers, or
CNX-BIPAD8s. Balanced audio from a CNX-BIPAD8 can also be supplied via
CAT5 to the CNX-PBAR4 and passed through to a CNXRMCLV. For detailed
information, refer to the simplified configuration diagram described in “Hookup”
which begins on page 7.
This non-Cresnetunit is a key component for distributing audio throughout an
entire home, using standard CAT5 cabling. The unit does not require a Cresnet ID or
definition in a Crestron SIMPL Windows program.

Ports and Indicators
The CNX-PBAR4 has a single LED power indicator (PWR) on the front panel. The
LED is illuminated when the unit is connected to and receives 24VDC power from
the supplied power pack.
All audio input/output ports are located on the rear panel.
NOTE: This unit is a non-Cresnet device.
As shown in the illustration on the next page, the unit’s ports consist of four identical
audio I/O groups of input and output connectors. Also located on the rear panel is the
male connector for 24VDC input power from the supplied power pack, PW-2410RU.
The ports and controls are described in the paragraphs following the illustration.

Each of the four audio channels consists of two RJ45 (8-pin) connectors (labeled IN
and OUT) and a pair of gold plated RCA connectors labeled AUDIO OUT, LEFT
and RIGHT.
RJ45 Connectors
These 8-pin connectors provide bi-directional balanced audio connection, via CAT5
cables, to CNXRMCLV room boxes and to CNX-BIPAD8 audio distribution
processors. Pinouts for the unit receptacles and cable connectors are shown in the
following figure.

RCA Connectors
The two RCA connectors provide line-level audio for a variety of configurations
required by the local equipment in the room.
Functional Description
As shown in the simplified functional diagram on the following page, the IN
connectors receive balanced audio input from the CNXRMCLV on pins 1, 2, 3, and
6. The balanced audio is buffered, routed to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 of the OUT connector,
and supplied to the CNX-BIPAD8. The balanced audio is also converted to
unbalanced audio and supplied to the RCA connectors for distribution to the CNX-
BIPAD8, amplifiers, or other room boxes. Balanced audio from the CNX-BIPAD8 is
supplied to pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 of the OUT connector, and passed through to pins 4, 5,
7, and 8 of the IN connector, to be supplied to the CNXRMCLV.

Setup
Rack Mounting
WARNING: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a
rack, take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following
guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom
to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before
mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

Professional Balanced Audio Receiver Crestron CNX-PBAR4
NOTE: If rack mounting is not required, rubber feet are provided for tabletop
mounting or stacking. Apply the feet near the corner edges on the underside of the
unit.
NOTE: Reliable earth grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).
Two “ears” are provided with the unit and must be installed so that it can be rack
mounted. Refer to the following illustration and complete the procedures below to
attach ears to the unit. The only tool required is a Phillips screwdriver.
NOTE: Attaching screws are provided with the ears.
Ear Attachment for Rack Mounting
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the three side screws closest to
the front panel.
2. Position a rack ear so that its mounting holes align with the vacated
holes, and secure the ear to the unit with the three longer screws
supplied with the ears.
3. Repeat the procedure to attach the remaining ear to the opposite side.
CAUTION: If rack ears are subsequently removed to accommodate a non-rack
configuration, be certain to reinstall the shorter screws removed in Step 1. Failure to
do so can cause damage to internal components.
