Crestron SWAMP(I)E-8 Sonnex Multiroom Audio Expander, 8 Zone

Sonnex Multiroom Audio

Expander, 8 Zone: SWAMP(I)E-8

Introduction

Operations Guide – DOC. 7051D

The SWAMPE-8 is an 8-zone expander for the Sonnex

(SWAMP-24X8)* from Crestron ®

® Multiroom Audio System

. It adds eight stereo amplified zones to the

Sonnex system, with the option for installation at the central equipment rack or at a remote location near the rooms it serves. The latter “decentralized” approach has the benefit of minimizing the amount of speaker wiring required, affording higher performance and efficiency and a faster, easier, and less expensive installation.

The SWAMPE-8 and SWAMPIE-8 are functionally identical. For simplicity within this guide, the term “SWAMPE-8” is used except where noted.

Features and Functions

• Eight-zone Sonnex expansion with amplified outputs

• 140 watts/channel @ 8 ohms, 400 watts/channel bridged

• 70/100 volt “constant-voltage” output options available

• Advanced DSP, mono summing, and output bussing per zone

• Sonnex Speaker Protect™

• Individual zone power control and global standby

• Remote fault monitoring

• Heavy duty detachable terminal blocks

• Single-cable interface to SWAMP-24X8 via Sonnex Link

• Plug-and-play operation

• Low power consumption, cool-running operation

• Three-space rack mountable

Integrated Audiophile Amplifier

The SWAMPE-8 features the same custom hybrid amplifier design as the

SWAMP-24X8, delivering the warmth and neutrality of a fine Class AB amplifier with all the efficiency benefits of a modern Class D. Each of its 16 channels

(configured as eight stereo zones) delivers 140 watts into 8 ohms or 240 watts into 4 ohms, and any two adjacent outputs can be bridged to produce 400 watts per channel at 8 ohms. Even with such incredible power, the SWAMPE-8 runs cooly and efficiently and requires only three rack spaces for mounting. Each zone is individually controllable to save energy by turning off any unused channels.

* Sold separately.

Sonnex Multiroom Audio Expander, 8 Zone: SWAMP(I)E-8 1

Sonnex Multiroom Audio Expander, 8 Zone Crestron SWAMP(I)E-8

Digital Signal Processing

Each zone features independent DSP for optimal sound quality and control in every room. Sonnex DSP capabilities include graphic or parametric 5-band EQ, dynamic range control, volume, bass, treble, balance, loudness, mute, mono summing, and five selectable tone profiles. For passive subwoofer applications, a choice of second or fourth order active crossover filters can be set using the parametric EQ, leaving the four remaining EQ filters available for room correction and tonal enhancement.

Output Bussing

Output bussing allows multiple zones to function as one, whether fed from the

SWAMPE-8, the SWAMP-24X8, or another Sonnex Expander. Output bussing is ideal for grouping adjacent listening areas together or associating a subwoofer with its stereo speaker pair. Volume offset adjustments allow for balancing the levels of each bussed zone for smooth, even coverage.

70/100V Option

Any zone output can be converted to 70 or 100 volt output using one or more Sonnex

Output Transformers (SAT-70V/100V-2 or SAT-70V/100V-4 1 ). Also known as

“constant-voltage”, 70 volt and 100 volt speaker systems allow for long wire runs using small-gauge wire, with the potential for connecting numerous speakers per circuit. Typical applications include outdoor speaker zones, commercial retail spaces, hallways, and common areas.

Simple, Versatile Installation

The SWAMPE-8 can be installed along with the SWAMP-24X8 at the central equipment rack or separately at a remote location. It interfaces with the

SWAMP-24X8 via a single CAT5e shielded twisted pair (STP) cable up to 200 ft

(61 m) in length.

2 This length can be increased to 2000 ft (610 m) using multimode fiber optic cable with the S-EXT1-S Sonnex Link over Fiber Extender.

1 the SWAMPE-8 functions provided through the SWAMP-24X8.

Plug-andplay connectivity affords an extremely easy installation with full control access to all

1. Item(s) sold separately.

2. For connection of the Sonnex Link between the SWAMPE-8 and SWAMP-24X8, use Crestron

DM-CBL-8G or high-quality CAT5e shielded twisted-pair cable (sold separately). The maximum cable length using DM-CBL-8G or CAT5e is 200 ft (61 m). For longer distances, use the S-EXT1-S

Sonnex Link over Fiber Extender (sold separately).

Sonnex Link Wiring

Crestron recommends using Crestron DM-CBL-8G or high-quality CAT5e shielded twisted-pair cable (sold separately) for Sonnex Link connections between the

SWAMPE-8 and the SWAMP-24X8 or S-EXT1-S.

NOTE: Shielded connectors such as the DM-8G-CONN (sold separately) must be used.

DM-CBL-8G wire can carry Sonnex Link signals up to 200 feet (61 meters).

Installation

The SWAMPE-8 should be used in a well-ventilated area. The venting holes should not be obstructed under any circumstances.

To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds the environmental temperature range listed in the table of specifications. Consider using forced air ventilation or increasing the spacing between units to reduce overheating.

Contact with thermal insulating materials should be avoided on all sides of the unit.

The SWAMPE-8 can be mounted in a rack or stacked with other equipment. Two

“ears” are provided with the SWAMPE-8 so that the unit can be rack mounted.

These ears must be installed prior to mounting. Complete the following procedure to attach the ears to the unit. The only tool required is a #1 or #2 Phillips screwdriver.

WARNING: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, observe the following guidelines:

• 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.

NOTE: Observe the following guidelines when installing equipment in a rack:

• Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

• Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

• Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

• Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.

Sonnex Multiroom Audio Expander, 8 Zone: SWAMP(I)E-8 9

Sonnex Multiroom Audio Expander, 8 Zone Crestron SWAMP(I)E-8

Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

• Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing 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).

NOTE: Feet are preinstalled for tabletop mounting or stacking. If the unit is to be rack mounted, the feet are not required and can be removed to provide more space in the rack.

To install the ears, use the following procedure.

CAUTION: To prevent equipment damage, use only the rack ears Crestron provides for this device.

1. There are screws that secure each side of the SWAMPE-8 top cover. Using a #1 or #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the three screws closest to the front panel from one side of the unit. Refer to the diagram following step 3 for a detailed view.

2. Position a rack ear so that its mounting holes align with the holes vacated by the screws in step 1.

3. Secure the ear to the unit with three screws from step 1, as shown in the following diagram.

Ear Attachment for Rack Mounting

Stacking

4. Repeat the procedure (steps 1 through 3) to attach the remaining ear to the opposite side.

Four “feet” are preinstalled with the SWAMPE-8 so that if the unit is not rack mounted, the feet can provide stability when the unit is placed on a flat surface or stacked.

NOTE: No more than two SWAMPE-8 units should be stacked.
