Introduction

The CAB 4n is a professional digital audio processor intended for fixed installation applications. This 2U rack‑mount package is designed to provide high quality audio performance and easy to use controls. Engineered from the ground up with the commercial sound systems contractor in mind, the CAB 4n includes removable screw connectors for easy installation and cost effective servicing, as well as front panel hidden ID assignment.

CABs provide a bridge for audio devices so that they can be connected together over large distances via a network. The example below shows how two CAB units can be used to transfer audio from microphones at one end of the network to speakers at a different location. The project is managed using NWare and hosted by the NioNode.

Tip: If you want to control external devices using GPIO, but not pass audio via the CAB, it can be controlled using an nControl or an nTouch 180 without a NioNode in the project. For more information, see Interfacing with a CAB device in the nControl Hardware Manual or Interfacing with a CAB device in the nTouch 180 Hardware Manual.

The CAB 4n has a number of properties, which allow you to:

Each CAB 4n can receive up to four separate audio bundles of 4 channels each. You can control the analog gain stage by gesturing the gain controls on the control surface. The range is -95 dB to +30 dB.

If you require reference information on the CAB 4n device properties, see CAB 4n in the NWare Device Reference.
