7.7.1 Amplifier DSP Selection Screen
On the left of this screen is the Input and Output Signal Level Monitor (explained later on this page). On the right
side are rows of DSP selection buttons for each channel. When you double click on a button, a control panel opens
for that button’s function.
Also on the right are buttons that open control panels for these functions:
• Amplifier mode (dual, bridge-mono, input Y)
• Signal generator (pink noise and sine wave)
• Amplifier information
• Recall and store presets
• Preset manager
• Apply to others (apply this amplifier’s DSP settings to other devices)
We’ll explain each of these functions on the next several pages.
7.7.2 Amplifier Mode
This is accessed by double clicking the mode button.

7.7.3 Input Level, Fades, Mute, Link, I/O Level Meters, and Indicators
This panel is on the left side of the I-Tech HD’s main control panel shown above. Channels 1, 2, 3,
and 4 Level Controls set the input signal level of each channel. Each channel can be muted, and
both faders can be linked with the Link button.
Input Signal Level Meter (green)
The measure ment range is from 0dBFS to –40dBFS with 0.5dB resolution. Each audio channel
has the following monitors:
• Switched Audio Input:
This meter shows only the switched (selected) audio input after the
Input Audio Router.
• Clip Indicator
Output Signal Level Meter (blue)
The mea surement range is from 0 dB to –40 dB with 0.5 dB resolution. The monitors are scaled so
that 0 dB is referenced to the full rated output voltage of the amplifier. The wider left meter is rms
and the right meter is peak for each channel. An output clip indicator is provided.
Indicators
Temp:
Lights if the temperature of the amplifier is too high and the amplifier is near shutdown.
Green: Thermal headroom used up is less than 59%.
Yellow: Thermal headroom used up is 60-80%.
Red: Thermal headroom used up is more than 81%.
Limit:
Lights when the amplifier signal is being limited.
Load:
Lights when the load impedance is out of range.
Ready:
Lights when the amplifier is on and ready to supply power.
Fault:
Lights when the amplifier is in a fault mode service may be required.
