QUICK START GUIDE
DSI SERIES FEATURES
Please refer to the DSi User Guide for in depth descriptions and instruction on the following features.
CONFIGURING THE AMP
Read how to configure the DSi 2 amplifier for your application using the front panel user interface. This includes assigning
input channels, editing internal routing and DSP settings, and configuring output mode settings. DSi 2 Series amplifiers can be
configured using the built-in Guided Setup or manually using the individual menu options in the Configure Amplifier menu.
Configuration can also be performed from a PC using HiQnet Audio Architect.
INTRODUCTION TO HIQNET AUDIO ARCHITECT
DSi 2 amplifiers can be set up from either the front panel or from the HiQnet Audio Architect software program. Access to some
settings and functionality are only available from Audio Architect.
The latest version of Audio Architect can be downloaded at www.audioarchitect.harmanpro.com. To communicate with
Audio Architect, the amplifier must be connected to a TCP\IP network via the rear panel Ethernet port and, in some cases,
configured for the network.
INSTALLING AUDIO ARCHITECT & CONFIGURING THE NETWORK
Network settings can be configured from either the DSi 2’s front panel or from the NetSetter software application. DHCP is
enabled by default, allowing the DSi 2 amplifiers to automatically obtain an IP address when connecting to an Ethernet
switch or router with an active DHCP server, or when using Auto-IP.
USING HIQNET AUDIO ARCHITECT
JBL DSi 2 amplifiers have Digital Signal Processing built in. When using a DSi 2 amp, the loudspeaker processing
(crossovers, limiters, EQs, and delays) are in the onboard DSP, making discrete rackmount loudspeaker processing devices
unnecessary. This drastically reduces setup time, commissioning, rack space, and costs. The DSi 2’s internal DSP can be
used to perform the following:
