Hot Standby Amplifiers
Hot standby amplifiers add redundancy for the amplifiers driving the speaker loops. It is crucial that the
amplifier wiring match the hot standby
Elemec3
configuration for proper operation. The wiring sequence
determines the priority for failed amplifiers switching to the hot standby amplifier. In the event of
multiple amplifier failures, the amplifier closest to the standby amplifier in the daisy chain wiring has the
highest priority, followed by the next closest, etc.
Hot Standby Setup
—Use the

screen to
prioritize the switching of failed
amplifier channels to the hot
standby amplifier channel. Use
the left, right, up, and down
arrows in the middle of the two
panes to add, remove, and reorder
the amplifier channels to match
the wired positions.
Ex. The hot standby amplifier is
in position five (wired fifth from
the top of the cabinet in Figure
