The CP 64S is a versatile commercial preamplifier designed for use in restaurants, bars, health clubs and offices. The CP 64S is capable of serving two independent Zones. Two gated Paging inputs and four Program inputs are provided. Ports are provided for expansion of Page, Program or Zone signals. Four levels of priority are supported:
The versatility of the CP 64S allows a wide variety of system configurations while providing simple and intuitive controls.
Two gated Paging Inputs capable of receiving mic or line level input are provided. Each features independent Mic/Line Pad, Gain Trim, detector Threshold, Zone Assign and Zone Level controls. Internally selectable phantom power is provided for each input. Each Paging input may be summed Pre- or Post- Zone Level control to allow setting Paging Level independent of Zone Level. An internal Paging Priority switch allows a “master” pager to override non-priority paging in its assigned zones, while allowing true dual zone independent paging. If no Paging Priority is selected, the Paging inputs mix together for applications like karaoke.
Four stereo Program inputs are provided with independent Input Level controls. Any one of the four Program inputs may be independently assigned in each Zone. One of the Program inputs is a gated Priority Program input. When signal is detected at its input, it overrides any non-priority Program selection in the assigned Zones. The Priority detector features internal, adjustable Threshold and Release-Time controls.
The CP 64S has two Zone outputs: Zone 1 is stereo: Zone 2 is mono. Each Zone features independent:
Versatile wired remote control interface ports are provided for Paging assignment, Zone Level and Zone Program source selection. Paging Zone and Source/Volume remote controls are available as accessories.
Many options allow the installer to determine exactly which controls are employee accessible.The SCP 2S is an optional security cover for the CP 64S’s front panel EQ section. Any or all other front panel knobs can be removed and replaced with hole plugs -- six are included with the SCP 2S. Front panel Ducker Depth controls are screw driver adjust. The remote controls allow blank Decora™ plates to be remote control security covers. The remote knobs can also be individually replaced with hole plugs. For complete security, Rane carries the SC 17 single rack space security cover, only allowing the client access to the remote controls.

The second CP 64S serves the service areas with their own music sources and page, while still accepting priority pages from the first CP 64S.
Optional wired remote control units are available. The PR 2 allows remote control of Page 1 and Page 2 Zone Assign selection. The ZR 1 allows remote control of Zone Level and Zone Program selection. One PR 2 and two ZR 1 remotes may be used with each CP 64S. If you need only remote volume control, the VR 1 Volume Remote may be substituted for a ZR 1. The PR 2 and ZR 1 may be installed in a standard electrical box (minimum depth 2.25") and finished with a Decora™ plate. The remotes connect to the CP 64S through 5-pin Euroblock connectors.
PR 2 Page Assign RemoteThe PR 2 is a 5-wire remote with 2 bits to select Page 1 Assign, one wire for shield/ground and 2 bits for Page 2 Assign. Selector logic is active low BCD with pull-up provided in the CP 64S. Control may be a simple switch closure to ground or 5 volt TTL. Page 1 and Page 2 bits may be paralleled so that one switch controls both Page Assigns. Remote control is initiated by setting the front panel Paging Zone Assign selector to RMT. |

ZR 1 Source & Volume RemoteThe ZR 1 is a 5-wire remote with 2 bits for Zone Program selection (active low Gray Code), a common shield/ground and two wires for ratiometric DC control of Zone Level. Zone 1 and Zone 2 ZR 1 remote ports may be paralleled so that a single remote controls both Zones. Selector logic is active low Gray Code with pull-up provided in the CP 64S. Control may be a simple switch closure to ground or 5 volt TTL. Remote control for each zone is initiated by engaging the RMT switch (located on the front panel) for that Zone. If you need only a volume control without program selection, connect the VR 1 Volume Remote to the Remote Level Port on the CP 64S. If you only need a few volume presets, see the LRS 4 Level Recall Remote. |

No. The CP R1 and CP R2 only work with the CP 62. The proper remotes for the CP 64 and CP 64S are the PR 2 for paging, and the ZR 1 for source and level control.
Connect a normally closed relay across the Paging Inputs (plus [+] and minus [-]) so they are shorted together. When an alarm condition exists and the coil becomes energized, the contacts open and the short is removed. The Paging Input Detect Threshold must be adjusted such that the noise floor is sufficient to trigger a paging condition and enable ducking, (i.e. set the detector just shy of maximum sensitivity --- fully counter clockwise --- so shorted turns off the green LED and open causes it to illuminate). Front panel Ducker Depth control is adjusted to fully counter clockwise so no program material is audible during an alarm condition.
These fixed line level outputs are for driving other systems or "stacking" CP series together for larger applications. The signal may consist of paging only, program only or a copy of the zone signal. This output can be used for music on hold as well as zones not needing level adjustment (i.e. rest rooms, entryways and similar areas).
For runs up to 200 feet any five conductor wire, 22 gauge or larger, will suffice. Use shielded wire for distances greater than 200 feet.
Yes. The CP 64S has a Zone 1 Mono Switch located internally, refere to manual for specific location.
Either output will provide a summed LEFT plus RIGHT mono signal. You can use both LEFT and RIGHT outputs simultaneously when needed, (like when you want to run two channels on a power amplifier without connecting a Y-cord.)
Yes. The internal Program Priority Release Time control (location shown in the manual) can be rotated to change the interval from five to twenty seconds. Clockwise rotation increases the release time interval.
All selection and level is done either on the front panel or at the remote; never both locations. Connecting just a VR 1 to the CP 64S remote control terminals will allow level adjustment. However without a source selector, the unit will default to source one. If the PRIORITY / L4 INPUT automatic switching is enabled, then the unit will select the L4 signal when present and L1 at any other time. Thus if only a jukebox (P/L4) and other line source (L1) are used, the remote volume control will work just fine. Refer to the CP 64S and ZR 1 manuals for clarification.
First check all the wire connections at both ends of the remote. All five wires must be connected for proper operation. Also make sure you didn't "flip" the wiring at one end of the cable...it happens frequently. Also note that once the front panel RMT button is pressed "in" both the PROGRAM SELECT and LEVEL functions only work at the remote. These two front panel controls are disabled when the RMT switch is engaged. For testing, push the RMT switch and make sure it's in the "out" position. Then, re-test all functions of the CP 64S. If all works fine now, the problem lies in the remote or wiring to it.
First check all the wire connections at both ends of the mic cable. Next be sure to set the PAGING INPUT MIC/LINE switches correctly. Facing the rear panel, MIC position is to the left. Once you have the setting correct, turn up --- clockwise --- the PAGING TRIM control and see if you can light the PAGING OVERLOAD indicator. If it illuminates, you're getting hot enough audio into the paging preamplifier. Last field check is to be sure the front-panel PAGE ZONE ASSIGN switches are set correctly. If all this checks out, it's time to follow the Recommended Calibration Procedure in the manual.
