Monitor/Controller for Tn and PC-1N
Series Amps with CobraNet™
Capability
The ACU16-C converts up to
16 channels of digital audio (48 kHz/20-bit or 24-bit) to analog
using CobraNet technology, and delivers analog audio to the power
amplifiers with a dynamic range of 110dB.
Tn and PC-1N series amplifier settings and status can be monitored
and controlled using the supplied NetworkAmp Manager software and a
computer: power on/standby, attenuation, out/in levels, temperature,
load impedance, and more. One ACU16-C can control up to 32 Tn and
PC-1N series amplifiers.
About CobraNet™
There is a growing need for large-scale audio systems, and with it
the need for advanced networking technologies that can distribute
high-quality audio quickly and reliably throughout large venues or
open facilities with fully integrated control. CobraNet™ is a
sophisticated technology that enables transfer of multiple audio and
control channels via Ethernet cable.
As an integrated system, CobraNet allows digital data to be carried
up to 100 meters* from one port to another device by common
CAT-5/100Base-TX cabling, or up to 2 kilometers by optical fiber. It
is fast, with constant 5.33ms latency**; it is reliable, thanks to
built-in redundant systems; and, with the standard cabling and
connections, it is remarkably easy to use and economical.
* The actual maximum length of cables may differ depending on the
quality of the Ethernet equipment or the particular settings used.
** Low latency mode of CobraNet™ is now supported, which enables
users to choose from 5.33ms, 2.67ms and 1.33ms.

Control and Monitor up to Thirty-Two Tn and PC-1N
Series Amplifiers
The ACU16-C
provides comprehensive control of up to thirty-two
Tn and PC-1N series amplifiers. With a computer and
the included NetworkAmp Manager software, you can
control and monitor in/out levels, limiting,
protection circuits, heat sink temperature, power
on/standby status, attenuation, phase, muting ± and
even speaker failure through the speaker impedance
monitoring.
-
Automatic Troubleshooting and Logging
NetworkAmp Manager also serves as a comprehensive
troubleshooting aid, warning you of problems and
recording them automatically to a log file. The
software monitors conditions such as protection
circuit activation, heat sink temperature, and any
increase in impedance over a previously set value,
immediately alerting you to and allowing you to
pinpoint any problems or malfunctions.

Up to 16 Channels of D/A Conversion with Cobranet™
Compatibility
The ACU16-C is fully compatible with CobraNet™
technology, allowing you to receive four bundles* of
digital audio and assign the received audio to the
16 analog outputs. Thanks to the high-performance
24-bit D/A converters - the same type that is used
in the DM2000 and 02R96 digital consoles -
uncompromised sound quality with 110dB dynamic range
is maintained right up to the Tn and PC-1N units.
This sophisticated device can also send and receive
control data, so you can use just one ACU16-C to
network up to thirty-two Tn and PC-1N series power
amps in extended systems. What's more, up to sixteen
ACU16-C devices can be connected via the high-speed
CobraNet™ connections.
* One bundle contains 8 channels of 20-bit audio, or
7 channels of 24-bit audio (at 48 kHz).

Duplicate Connections for Exceptional Reliability
The ACU16-C is fitted with redundant primary and
secondary CobraNet™ ports. Simply connect Ethernet
cables to both ports, and you have a fail-safe,
secure amplification system.
