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

UID: Unique ID assigned to the device
SW: Firmware Version in the device
ACin: AC Voltage (roughly estimated)
CMPRS: Compressing level on Output

NOTE:

A built-in compressor for output is automatically
engaged due to high operating temperature or low
operating voltage.
Long time operating the device in high temperature can cause the device to cease operation
due to part failure. The compressor will dynamically compress the audio in the portion of
high level when the temperature of any of the monitoring spots in the amplifier is over about
88

 in order to reduce the power dissipation and cut heat generation.

Low AC voltage can cause audible clips due to insufficiency of rectified and filtered voltage
to drive the output to its nominal maximum. The compressor also compresses the output
audio in the portion of high level to avoid the audible clip noise when a low operating
voltage is detected.
The CMPRS item shows how many dB of output level is compressed due to high operating
temperature or low operating voltage.
The operating temperature in many of the monitoring spots in the amplifier can be found on
the TEMP menu described later.
The estimated AC voltage from the AC outlet is shown on the item next to CMPRS.
Although the reading follows the AC voltage from the AC outlet, there is about a four
seconds delay from the real voltage from the AC outlet. Also, please be informed that the
heavy loading on the output of the amplifier can pull down the operating voltage and reflect
as a lower reading of AC Voltage on the INFO menu. Therefore, the AC voltage reading in
the INFO menu is only meaningful when the amplifier does not heavily drive the loads on its
outputs. The AC voltage reading is not supposed to replace the meter that you use to
measure AC voltage on a daily basis.

DANTE menu:

 

UD-064D comes with a Dante interface built-in. A Dante icon is stayed on the upper left of the display
when the content of DANTE menu is being browsed. The DANTE menu is where you can browse
through the Dante related information in the amplifier, including,

Dante Name
Dante Sample Rate
Dante Clock Sync Status
Whether is the device elevated to be a clock master
Ethernet Link Speed
IP address assigned to the device
Whether the device is locked by Dante Controller
The DDM manager to which the device is enrolled

NOTE:

All the Dante related settings are configured by Dante Controller software. And the Dante
interface of UD-064D can be locked with password protect via the Dante Controller
software.
The Dante interface of UD-064D can also be enrolled in a DDM domain and be managed. In
the circumstance, the configuration of the Dante interface can't not be changed without the
allowance or the password of the DDM manager.
Also, you should make sure that the setting of the Dante sample rate of your UD-064D to
align with the sample rate of your whole Dante network. Basically, all the devices in the
same Dante network should be synced to the same sample rate.
