Array Controls
When you mount an MSA12X array on the wall, you can choose the orientation of the module(s) by
specifying the array end that has the RJ-45 and power input panel. This defaults to Bottom, and in this
situation, your RJ-45 and power cables enter the master module at the bottom. In some installations,
installers prefer to send the RJ-45 and power into the top of the array. In those situations, you should
select Top from this menu; you should physically invert the array so the RJ-45 and power inputs are at
the top (and don’t forget to rotate the Bose logo on the front grille). This software setting orients the
software so it knows if the master module is on the top or bottom, which way the arrays are oriented, and
can plan the beam types and steering correctly.
Audio Check
You can check each array/module/driver with either an internal or external audio signal. With Internal
option, an internal signal generator feeds 1 kHz sine wave to the device. This is useful to identify the array
even before subscribing Dante® routing.
Device
Module Count:
Number of modules of the array.
Firmware Version
DSP Version
Boot Version
Auto-Standby:
You can specify the signal absence time before the array goes to Standby mode. The array
recovers from Standby mode when the input signal is present for 6-10 seconds.
Temperature:
Indicates the temperature of internal amplifier.
Faulty Drivers:
Indicates the number of faulty drivers and/or amplifier channels that are shorted or with
excessive high current beyond the design’s capability.
Reset to Defaults:
Clears all the stored beam presets and sets the array to factory default.
