POWER AMPLIFIERS
��he SW18����A is powered by DA S���I��S digital power modules, a new generation of CLASS D power amplifier with digitally-controlled SMPS.
��he innovative technology used for these amplifiers (including also the use of a variable switching frequency) offers performances at the top of
the range, such as a superior sound definition at any audio frequency, very high dynamics also for low level signals and very low distortion even at
the maximum power ��he superior sound quality can be compared with top-of-the-range AB-class analog systems, while the DA modules feature
a higher dynamics, very compact si��e and light weight and efficiency above ���%. ��he DA module employed for powering the SW18����A deliver in
an ultra-compact package a maximum power of 2������W.
SIGNAL PROCESSING
��he system processing is based on the CO��� DSP platform, which has been designed by the P�O��L �&D Laboratories using one of the most
advanced SHA�C DSP for audio application. It features ���bit, ��kH�� ��oating point resolution and high quality 2�bit AD��DA converters, for a perfect
signal integrity, a dynamic range in excess of 11��dB and a superior sonic performance. ��hanks to its massive processing power, the CO��� platform
is capable of providing the most sophisticated algorithms for speaker processing, together with remote control and networking capability.
��he P�O����� control software, working on a solid and reliable CA�BUS based network protocol, provides an intuitive interface for the remote
control of the whole system, with the possibility of eqing, delaying, increasing the protections and monitoring the status of the amplifier.
PRONET
P�O����� software has been developed in collaboration with sound engineers and sound designers, in order to offer an “easy-to-use” tool to setup
and manage your audio system. With P�O����� you can visuali��e signal levels, monitor internal status and edit all the parameters of each connected
device.
Download the PRONET app from the AXIOM website at http://www.axiomproaudio.com/ clicking on downloads section of the product.
��he SW18����A loudspeaker devices can be connected using the network connection, in this case the P�O��L USB2CA� converter optional accessory
is needed. ��he first time you connect a device with the USB2CA� converter, Windows O.S. will ask you to install the driver files, which you can
find in the Driver folder within the Pronet application folder (by default is C:\Program Files\Proel\Pronet\Driver, or if you changed it <your path>\
Driver). Please refer also to “Installation” and “Drivers” paragraphs in the Pronet documentation.
��he P�O����� �����WO�� is based on a robust, reliable and fast communication protocol called CA�BUS. ��he devices in a P�O����� �����WO�� are
connected together with a “linear bus topology”. ��he USB2CA� converter must be connected to the network input of the first device, the network
output of the first device is connected to the input of the second and so on. For the network connections simple �J�5 cat.5 or cat.� ethernet
cables can be used (please don’t confuse a ethernet network with a P�O����� network these are completely different and must be fully separated
also both use the same kind of cable).
��he beginning and the end of a P�O����� �����WO�� must be terminated. One side is terminated by the USB2CA� converter, the other side must
be terminated pressing the �����MI�A���� switch on the last device. All devices between these two points must have the �����MI�A���� switch lifted.
Assign the ID number
��o work properly in a P�O����� network each connected device must have a unique identifier number, called ID. By default the USB2CA� PC
controller has ID=�� and there can be only one PC controller. ��very other device connected must have its own unique ID equal or greater than 1:
in the network cannot exist two devices with the same ID.
An ID number is assigned automatically to each devices when they are turned on for the first time connected to a network.
In order to correctly assign a new available ID to each device for working properly in a Pronet network, follow these instructions:
1.
Switch off all the devices.
2.
Connect them correctly to the network cables.
3.
“�����MI�A����” the latest device in the network connection.
4.
Switch on the first device keep pressed “P���S����” button on the control panel.
5.
Leaving the previous device switched on, repeat the previous operation on the next device, until the latest device is turned on.
��he “Assign ID” procedure for a device makes the internal network controller to perform two operations: reset the current ID; search the first free
ID in the network, starting from ID=1. If no other devices are connected (and powered on), the controller assume ID=1, that is the first free ID,
otherwise it searches the next one left free.
��hese operations ensure that every device has it’s own unique ID, if you need to add a new device to the network you simply repeat the operation
of step �. ��very device maintains its ID also when it is turned-off, because the identifier is stored in the internal memory and it is cleared only by
another “Assign ID” step, as explained above. ��his means that if your network is made always of the same devices the assigning ID procedure must
be executed only the first time the system is turned on.
