UNiKA UD-064 & UD-064D Switching Power Amplifier

to other menus by briefly pressing the INFO/SET button or go to SETTINGS menu by long pressing the
INFO/SET button.

Four PPM meters on the right and five parallelized/bridged indicators on the left are
permanently shown up on the display, no matter what menu is cycled through in the
middle on the display. The PPM meters show the output audio level for each channel of
the amplifier. The 0dBFS is aligned to the amplifier maximum output which means you
should never drive the input level, combined with the volume control and eXtraTone™
bass boost, over the 0dBFS. Otherwise, you hear an audible clip noise on the output of
the amplifier. There are clip hold indicators on the top of each PPM meter to bring up your attention if the
amplifier is overdriven. The 32 segments of each PPM is scaled from 0dBFS down to -60dB with each little
segment representing a 2dB difference in signal strength.

NOTE:

 The analog input sensitivity to drive the amplifier to its 0dBFS maximum output is

configurable in SETTINGS menu. You can cycle through 0dBu, 1V, and 1.4V for sensitivity setting
while the factory default is set to 1.4V.

Operation Menu on Display

There are totally 6 operation menus: VOLUME, INFO, DANTE, TEMP, FAN, and SETTINGS.

The UD-064/UD-064D starts up by default by showing the VOLUME menu in the middle of the display.
Briefly pressing the INFO/SET button will cycle through to the additional operation menus, in the order of
INFO, DANTE, TEMP, FAN, and back to VOLUME. Long pressing the INFO/SET button will specially
bring up the SETTINGS menu for device configurations. The details of these menus are described below,

VOLUME menu:

 

A speaker icon is stayed on the upper left of the display
when the content of VOLUME menu is being browsed.
The VOLUME menu is where you can tune the channel
volume individually. Rotate the encoder to browse to
different channels you wish to tune its volume, and
press the ENCODER for tuning the volume of the
selected channel. 

The VOLUME menu is the default menu when the amplifier starts up. You can always press the BACK
button a couple of times to return back to VOLUME menu when you are lost in menu navigation.

NOTE:

 

The speaker icon on the upper left of the display will be replaced with a Dante icon if you
configure the amplifier to source input from the Dante audio network. Dante audio input will
be described later in the manual.
The position of CH2 (or CH4) can be instead displayed the cut-off frequency of the LPF
filter to CH1 (or CH3) input audio if there is a set of bridged output or a pair of parallized
inputs configured. The LPF filter will be addressed later in the manual.
When you browse and roll over the last channel in VOLUME menu, you are browsing to the
eXtraTone™ setting items which will be particularly described later in the manual.

INFO menu:

 

An information icon is stayed on the upper left of the
display when the content of INFO menu is being
browsed. The INFO menu is where you can browse
through the device operating information of the
amplifier, including,

MDL: Model Number of the device
