the set time.
General setup >> USB
USB will lead you to a separate sub-menu where all settings and options using USB functions
can be found. An USB flash disk should be inserted to the USB slot on the front of the amplifier
and shall be formatted using FAT32 filesystem.
General setup >> USB >> Save
The complete configuration of the amplifier can be saved to a file by using the ‘save’ button.
This way, a complete backup for system recovery can be made. This provides a great
advantage for re-loading a previous configuration and duplicating the configuration to other
amplifiers. A window will appear whereby the desired filename for the configuration can be
selected and the system backup will be saved as …\AUDAC\SETTINGS\FILENAME.SET
General setup >> USB >> Load
Different types of configuration files can be loaded
into the amplifier, such as loudspeaker presets (*.SPF),
complete set solution configurations (*.SOL) and
system backups (*.SET). Each of above configuration
files have their own filetype and will be loaded in
a different way. When pressing the load button, a
window will appear whereby browsing through the files
on the inserted medium is made possible. Browsing
through folders is possible through turning the rotary
dial, lower folders can be easily accessed by selecting
them while both top options allow to browse up or to
the root of the inserted medium. After the desired file
has been found, it can be loaded by selecting it.
Speaker presets are files in *.SPF format which are prepared and provided by AUDAC and
containing all parameters for optimal performance and protection for the corresponding
loudspeaker. When a *.SPF file is loaded, the amplifier will recognize their filetype and show
a popup window wherein all channels can be selected on which this file should be applied
(whereon the corresponding loudspeaker is connected). After the selected channels are
selected, the ‘load settings’ button shall be pressed and the presets will be loaded to the
selected channels. All previously made EQ settings are removed when an *.SPF file is loaded.
Complete system configurations (set solutions) are files in *.SOL format which are prepared and
provided by AUDAC. These files contain parameters for a complete configuration consisting
of multiple (with different types) loudspeakers, such as a combination of loudspeaker
cabinets with a bass cabinet, … These configuration files contain besides the protection
and performance parameters also information about connected channels, bridging, filtering,
etc. Additional comments about system configurations are shown on the right side of the
browse window. When a *.SOL file is selected, it will be immediately loaded without requiring
selection of the channels where it should apply to. All previously made EQ and filter settings
are removed when an *.SOL file is loaded.
