Rear Panel
The rear panel contains the speaker output terminals, the RS232 connector, the power switch, input connectors,
and configuration DIP switches. Read the descriptions below for more detailed information.
Configuration DIP Switches
The configuration DIP switches can be located on the right side of the AmpTraXX rear panel. Changing the
states of these switches can alter the behavior of AmpTraXX. See the descriptions below.
Disable Front Panel
In order to disable the front panel volume controls, turn off the first key on the 4 key
DIP switch block. These switches are located at the rear of the left side of the
AmpTraXX. With this switch in the OFF position, the unit will ignore the front
panel volume controls. Only RS-232 commands have the power to adjust volume in
this situation. However, if the DIP switch is in the ON position, this behavior is
opposite. In this mode, RS-232 volume commands will have no effect and only the
front panel controls have the ability to adjust volume.
Reset Factory Defaults
It may take several
seconds for the Factory
defaults to be loaded.
Once loaded, this DIP
switch should be switched
ON once again. There is
no need to power cycle
AmpTraXX to perform this
reset.
The second DIP switch position is used to reset AmpTraXX settings to factory
defaults. Any stored filter or gain settings will be erased from non-volatile memory.
This means that all filters will be restored to FLAT, and all gain levels will be set to
zero (unless the Front Panel volume controls are Enabled).
