The Control Bus lets you control your other CX series units. See the following diagrams when connecting the CXN (V2) using the provided Control Bus cable.
Another added feature of this Control Bus is the use of the StreamMagic app. You can use the StreamMagic app to control other CX series units via the CXN (V2).
CXN V2 WITH CXA VIA STREAMMAGIC APP
When using the app to turn the CXN (V2) on/off, this will also turn the CXA on/off. The app can also be used to control the volume of the CXA. Connect the CXN (V2) Control Bus Out to the CXA Control Bus In.
If you wish to control the volume of your CXA via the SM app, please ensure that the 'Pre-amp' mode is disabled and the 'Control Bus' has been set to 'Amplifier' in the app device settings.
CXA WITH CXN V2
Note: Without using the StreamMagic app to control the CXA.
When turning the CXA on/off, this will also turn the CXN (V2) on/off. Connect the CXA Control Bus Out to the CXN (V2) Control Bus In.
When turning the CXN on/off, this will turn the CXA and CXC on/off.
With all three CX devices, connect the CXN (V2) Control Bus out to the CXA Control Bus. Then connect the CXA Control Bus out to the CXC Control Bus in.
Note: Do NOT loop back from the CXC Control Bus out to the CXN (V2) Control Bus.
Control Bus will also need to be enabled and set to Amplifier within the CXN device settings in the StreamMagic app once the app has been connected to the CXN (V2).
Note: If a device with APD enabled automatically switches off after the selected period of inactivity, this will also switch off the other connected devices.
