Configuring standby
The KH 80 DSP will switch to standby depending on the applied input level, standby time,
output gain level settings and the position of the SETTINGS switch .
Standby settings in backplate mode
X
Set the SETTINGS switch to LOCAL CONTROL - AUTO STANDBY = ON .
The standby time is set to 90 minutes .
The output level depends on the OUTPUT LEVEL switch and INPUT GAIN control settings on the
back of the loudspeaker . Adjust these according to your setup .
Standby settings in network mode
X
Set the SETTINGS switch to NETWORK CONTROL - AUTO STANDBY = ON .
The following values can be configured individually using the Neumann .Control iPad
®
App:
• standby time
• threshold below which the KH 80 DSP will switch to standby
• output level
Adjusting standby behaviour
Standby is too sensitive
When standby is too sensitive, the KH 80 DSP does not switch to standby when it is supposed
to or it wakes up from standby when it is not supposed to .
Possible reasons:
The source might have some noise or spikes which wake up the loudspeaker or prevent it from
switching to standby . This might also lead to various KH 80 DSP behaving differently while
using the same settings .
Observe the following steps to find out if there is any noise or spikes which could lead to ran-
domly waking up the loudspeakers:
X
Switch the auto standby function off by setting the SETTINGS switch to the OFF position of
the LOCAL CONTROL section .
X
Set the OUTPUT LEVEL switch to 114 dB in order to be able to hear any disturbing signal .
X
Listen closely if you hear any spikes .
X
Alternatively, record the loudspeaker output with a microphone and analyse the recording .
X
Try to identify if there is any correlation to anything switching on and off in the house (e . g .
refrigerator, etc .)
You can test if standby works correctly by connecting a short XLR cable to the input of the
loudspeaker with no device connected to the other end of the cable .
X
In backplate mode, set the OUTPUT LEVEL switch to 100 dB .
The loudspeaker should switch to standby after 90 minutes .
X
In network mode, set the standby time to a desired value and set the standby level to 30 dB
via the Neumann .Control iPad
®
App .
X
Set the SETTINGS switch to NETWORK CONTROL - AUTO STANDBY = ON .
The loudspeaker should switch to standby after the time you set .
Since the loudspeaker continuously watches the input signal, even spikes which are
coming from the source or are induced into the cable could prevent the loudspeaker
from switching to standby . Ensure that no signal spike from the source or spikes induced
into the cabling can wake the loudspeaker up .
