Install and Connect the AM-10HD
1. Install the AM‑10HD in the equipment rack using at least two rack screws. If
only two screws are used they must be installed in the bottom holes of the rack
ears to prevent undue stress on the front panel and possible bending.
2. Connect the audio input(s) to the appropriate XLR female input connector(s)
on the rear panel.
3. Connect the line level analog or the AES digital outputs to their associated
external equipment.
4. To use the AM‑10HD GUI software connect the rear panel Ethernet
RJ‑45 jack as appropriate for your intended use:
a) For direct connection to a PC use a crossover CAT5 cable;
b) For connecting into your LAN use a straight through CAT5 cable from the
Ethernet switch or HUB.
5. Connect the AC power cord to the AM‑10HD rear panel AC power connec‑
tor and then plug it into AC power. The AM‑10HD will power up and all DSP
related signal paths should be intact within 20 seconds.
Operating the AM-10HD Locally
The front panel of the AM‑10HD has only two user
controls, a rotary encoder with integral push switch and a
black push button located directly below the rotary encoder.
These controls are assigned to the following functions:
Unlocking the Front Panel
The factory default passcode is “0000.” To unlock the
front panel, press in and hold the encoder wheel until the
“Pass 0000” prompt appears ‑ the first two zeroes will be
flashing. Press the encoder wheel to lock these digits in
place and move the cursor to the second pair of digits. When
the second pair of zeroes flashes, press the encoder wheel
in. The message “OK” should appear. At this point the front panel is unlocked and
will remain so for several minutes, after which automatic relocking will take place.
You can also purposely lock it by pressing and holding the encoder wheel until the
display reads “LOCKED.”
The front panel lock/unlock passcode can be changed using the remote control
GUI software. Additionally, the front panel does not need to be unlocked in order to
connect to the unit with the remote GUI software, or to adjust the headphone level.
Taking Presets
If the front panel is unlocked, you can take a new preset. Simply turn the rotary
encoder until the desired preset name is being displayed (the display will flash, as
well as scrolling the preset name). Then press and release the encoder wheel, The
display will briefly show “TAKEN” and then begin scrolling the new preset name,
this time without flashing.
