Frequently asked questions
How many audio sources can each unit switch between?
The CSR-2SV-BLK switches between two sources; the CSR-3SV-BLK switches between three sources. Both pair with CSM-21 and CSM-32 zone mixers.
Is volume control different between these two models?
The CSR-2SV-BLK offers centralized remote volume management across zones. The CSR-3SV-BLK provides independent volume control per source, giving more granular adjustment per input.
What is the maximum cable run distance for both?
Both units support Cat 5 cable runs up to 1,000 feet without signal degradation, enabling flexible placement in large facilities.
Which is better for a growing system?
The CSR-3SV-BLK is better for facilities that may add sources later, as it already accommodates three inputs. The CSR-2SV-BLK works for fixed two-source installations where expansion is unlikely.
