1 Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the Crown
R.S.V.P. (Remote Switching Voltage
Provider) accessory module, de-
signed for use with Crown’s CT-10
series amplifiers. The
R.S.V.P. takes
advantage of Crown’s CT-10 series’
soft-start feature, eliminating the
need for expensive sequencing
equipment or complicated startup
routines.
Using Crown’s R.S.V.P. module, you
can control the power-up/power-
down function of your CT-10 series
amplifier from across the room—or
across the stadium. Each
R.S.V.P.
unit controls 21 amplifier remote
jacks. That’s enough to control a 6-
foot (1.83 meter) rack of amplifiers
and still have one jack left over to
chain to another R.S.V.P. Units are in-
dividually powered, allowing you to
daisy-chain any number of
R.S.V.P.s
for remote control of an unlimited
number of amplifiers.
Power-up/power-down can be con-
trolled using an auxiliary device
(such as an
IQ System) via the aux
port, or through the use of a pair of
momentary switches. Remote mo-
mentary switches can be connected
in parallel, so your amps can be con-
trolled from various locations: front of
house, backstage, lighting booth,
and so on. With a maximum switch-
ing distance of up to 2000 feet (609.6
meters) per unit, the
R.S.V.P. can
provide on/off capabilities any-
where—or everywhere—you need it.
