Specifications for Whirlwind CI8L
All specifications subject to change without notice
C 8L
Line In Module
The CI8L is Whirlwind's 8-channel CobraNet line level input module. Use it to convert line level analog audio
into professional quality digital audio, for distribution over CobraNet digital networks. The CI8L can be
temporarily or permanently connected to the CobraNet network, anywhere network access and AC power
are available. Connect any line level source such as mixer matrix or aux outputs, speaker system crossover
outputs, or surround sound processor outputs and instantly send them throughout the CobraNet digital audio
network.
Setup and operation are simple and easy. Just set the bundle select wheels to the desired transmit bundle
number, and set the bitwidth:latency selector to match the bitwidth and latency of the receiving device. Then
apply the eight channels of audio and adjust the input level as necessary, ensuring that the level is below the
0 dB clipping level.
Uses CobraNet networking protocol compatible with all other CobraNet devices from over 40 manufacturers.
Transmits 20 or 24 bit word length.
Transmits 5.33 ms, 2.66 ms or 1.33 ms latencies.
Multiple transmitters may be accessed through CobraNet Discovery.
Input level controls can provide 35 dB of gain or 43 dB of attenuation to the analog input signal.
Front panel LED meters indicate analog signal level.
Integrated universal power supply for 100-250 VAC, 50/60 Hz operation
The CI8L is 1 RU high and mounts in standard 19” racks.
