Crest Audio CIP Series: Simplifying Commercial Audio with Dante® Networking

Modern commercial audio systems need more than powerful sound. They need to be flexible, scalable, reliable, and easy to integrate into increasingly networked AV environments.

The Crest Audio CIP Series is designed around this need, combining professional audio performance with Dante® Audio Networking to simplify system deployment across a wide range of commercial applications.

From compact speakers for meeting rooms and classrooms to solutions for larger spaces and dedicated low-frequency reinforcement, the CIP Series provides a flexible foundation for modern installed audio.

One Network. Endless Possibilities.

Traditional audio installations can involve complex cabling and infrastructure, particularly as systems expand across multiple rooms or zones. Networked audio provides a more streamlined approach by allowing audio signals to be distributed through standard network infrastructure.

With Dante® Audio Networking, the Crest Audio CIP Series helps simplify connectivity and integration while supporting scalable system design.

For AV integrators, consultants, and end users, this means a system that can be easier to deploy and expand as project requirements evolve.

The CIP Series includes three solutions for different audio requirements: CIP 5, CIP 26, and CIP 12S.

CIP 5: Compact Size. Powerful Performance.

The Crest Audio CIP 5 combines Dante® networking, PoE++ connectivity, and a premium two-way speaker system in a compact design.

Its compact form makes it well suited to environments where space and visual integration matter while professional audio performance is still required.

The CIP 5 is ideal for applications such as meeting rooms, classrooms, retail spaces, corporate environments, and other commercial installations.

By combining network connectivity and power delivery with a compact speaker platform, the CIP 5 can help simplify deployment without compromising the requirements of a modern AV system.

CIP 26: Wider Coverage. Greater Impact.

For spaces requiring greater output and wider audio coverage, the Crest Audio CIP 26 expands the capabilities of the CIP Series.

Featuring dual 6.5-inch woofers with Dante® and PoE++ support, the CIP 26 is designed to deliver stronger output, wider coverage, and reliable performance for larger commercial audio installations.

This makes it suitable for applications where a compact speaker may not provide the required coverage or impact, including larger classrooms, hospitality environments, corporate spaces, retail installations, and public areas.

The CIP 26 brings greater audio capability while maintaining the network-ready approach of the CIP Series.

CIP 12S: Power Every Low Frequency.

A complete audio system often requires dedicated low-frequency reinforcement. The Crest Audio CIP 12S is designed to extend the performance of the CIP Series with deep, impactful bass and high power handling.

As the dedicated bass solution within the system, the CIP 12S complements the full-range CIP models and helps create a more complete audio experience.

It is particularly suited to professional installed audio environments where stronger low-frequency performance is required.

One Series. Complete Audio Solution.

From compact full-range speakers to dedicated bass reinforcement, the Crest Audio CIP Series provides scalable networked audio solutions for corporate, education, hospitality, retail, and public spaces.

The CIP 5 offers compact versatility. The CIP 26 delivers greater output and coverage. The CIP 12S adds dedicated low-frequency reinforcement. Together, they provide a flexible ecosystem that can address different requirements within a commercial audio installation.

With Dante® networking at the heart of the system, the CIP Series brings audio performance and network integration together in a solution designed for modern AV environments.

One network. One cable. One complete audio solution.

Discover the power of networked audio with the Crest Audio CIP Series and build commercial audio systems that are simpler to deploy, easier to scale, and ready for today's connected AV environments.
