In/Out Settings Tab

The IN/OUT settings tab is used to assign your MKII’s input and 

output specifications.

Input Setup

Input Name

This is a user entered field with a maximum of 15 characters. 

Use these fields to describe the type of input connected.

Input Trim dB

This pull down menu allows for input levels to be ad/-6dB. 

This gives you the ability to level out all your inputs so when you 

switch from input to input the levels will be equal. This can eliminate 

any harsh transitions between sources with different output 

voltages. Select the pull down menu in each channel to adjust the 

level trim between plus or minus 6dB in increments of 0.5dB.

Output Setup

Output Name

This is a user entered field with a maximum of 15 characters. 

Use these fields to describe the location of the speakers.

Stereo/Mono

Allows each channel to be set for Stereo or Mono operation. 

When Mono is selected, the Left and Right of the input selected will 

be combined to create Mono.

DSP Preset

Apply any of the available Sonance DSP presets to each channel of 

the amplifier independently. You can apply any open preset & then 

make modifications on the EQ settings page.

Output Group

 

The DSP 2-150 MKII has eight output group options: A-H. 

When using IP or IR to control the amplifier, commands are sent to 

an output group and not to a specific channel.

Bridge Mode

 

When more power is required, two channels can be bridged. 

Follow the instructions on page 5, in the software, for connecting 

the wires then select Bridge ON.

Output Source

Source 1

This is the primary source you will direct to the speakers. Any of the 

inputs available on the amplifier can be selected. When channels 

are in the same output group, the inputs will all change in unison. 

Left inputs default to left outputs and right inputs to right outputs. 

Source 2

This is a secondary source that based on the mode Source 2 

setting described below, will either override or mix with Source 1. 

This input could be used for a doorbell or paging for example.

Mode Source 2 Off

When set to OFF, Source 2 has no effect on the operation of 

the channel.

Mix

 

When set to MIX, Source 1 and Source 2 will be blended together 

when a signal is present on Source 2.

Mute

 

When set to MUTE, Source 1 will be muted while Source 2 

is active. 

Output Volume

This is the main volume level control for each channel. 

When channels are placed in the same output group the levels will 

change simultaneously. 

Maximum Volume

IP or IR can be used to limit how loud the speakers will play in 

certain areas. Output Volume and Turn On Volume can never 

exceed the Maximum Volume. Maximum Volume is the highest 

volume level that the amplifier will output. The output group 

selected does not affect this setting.

Gain Offset

The gain offset setting allows channels in the same output group 

to have their levels adjusted independently by +/-6dB. This is an 

independent setting not affected by the output group.

Mute

The mute setting eliminates the output from the speakers. 

Channels placed in the same output group will 

change simultaneously.

NOTE: FRONT PANEL VOLUME CONTROLS OVERWRITE THIS SETTING. 

Turn On Volume

This determines what volume level the amplifier will default to 

when it is turned on. Channels placed in the same output group 

will automatically have identical levels. Turn on volume level is 

implemented when the amplifier is turned off with the power switch 

or goes into sleep mode. 

NOTE: FRONT PANEL VOLUME CONTROLS OVERWRITE THIS SETTING. 

EQ Setting Tab

The EQ settings tab is used to assign your DSP EQ presets for 

each channel. EQ presets provide best possible audio quality for 

most Sonance speakers. EQ presets are available at 

http://www.sonance.com/electronics/amplifiers/dsp.
