JBL Commercial CSR-2SV-BLK Remote Source Control Wall Plate
The JBL CSR-2SV-BLK is a professional-grade remote source selector engineered for live venues, installed systems, and distributed audio networks where reliable source switching and volume control from multiple locations are essential. This single-gang wall plate controller puts source selection and level management at your fingertips throughout the venue, making it an ideal choice for sound engineers and system operators managing multi-zone audio deployments.
Control Architecture & Connectivity
This controller communicates with CSM-21 and CSM-32 zone mixers using standard Cat 5 cable with RJ-45 connectors, supporting cable runs up to 1,000 feet—enabling remote control stations throughout large rooms and venues without signal degradation. The analog DC voltage logic control system ensures rock-solid switching between two audio sources and precise volume regulation from any wall location, keeping your show running smoothly from setup to teardown.
Installation & User Feedback
Designed to fit into standard electrical wall boxes with a single-gang form factor, this controller installs seamlessly into existing venue infrastructure without drawing attention. A green LED indicator illuminates when the controller is the active source selector, providing immediate visual confirmation that the mixer source select knob is in "REMOTE" position—critical feedback during live events when you need to know your control is active.
