The Crestron® C2N-AMP-4X100 delivers cost-effective audio distribution for up 16 rooms — perfect for small to moderate sized houses, condominiums, and businesses. Each C2N-AMP-4X100 handles up to four rooms, and includes six stereo line inputs to accommodate all your music and AV sources. With many of the same pro features as Crestron’s more expensive systems, the C2N-AMP-4X100 lets everyone enjoy their own choice of music, sports, news, or talk in any room as part of a complete Crestron system.

Powerful Stuff

Each room output is capable of 50 Watts/Ch. @ 8Ω or 75 Watts/Ch. @ 4Ω — perfect for driving a house full of Crestron Excite®, Aspire®, Essence®, AIR®, and Saros® speakers. Outputs may also be bridged to deliver a robust 150 Watts/Ch. @ 8Ω. Each room has the ability to select any of the six input sources, with complete control over the room’s volume, bass, treble, balance, loudness, mute, and mono settings.

Mansion Expansion

A single C2N-AMP-4X100 provides a perfect solution for a typical apartment or small business — with room to grow. Expanding the system is easy — simply add up to three additional units to support a total of 16 rooms or zones.

Jamie Drake Designer Visions Show House at Historic Walker Tower®

Case Studies
Soaring 18 and 19 floors above street level in the heart of Chelsea and offering stunning 360-views of downtown New York City, the seventh annual Hearst Designer Visions show house recently opened at the historic Walker Tower. The annual event showcases the best in interior design, and this year included a technology twist.

Hearst shelter publication, House Beautiful, partnered with renowned designer, Jamie Drake, FASID, Principal at Drake Design Associates, to create a 1920's art deco-inspired apartment featuring modern technology.

The residence combines the dramatic scale and glamorous stylings of the decade with lavish materials, exquisite finishes, and modern amenities, including Crestron home automation solutions to control the audio, video, lighting and shades.

"I'm a great fan of Crestron's products. I happen to have them in my own home. So I know about the joys and pleasure of having one remote or one keypad where you can operate your audio, video, temp controls, your shades and window treatments, all from one location," Drake says.
