Please refer to 

Figure-2b

 on the facing page to familiarize yourself with the rear panel features of the 

AMP2-VS

 and 

AMP2-VSA

unit.  The following sections describe these features and are referenced, by letter, to 

Figure-2b

.

Rear Panel Features

Section 2: 

 Operation

Power Connector

Attach a standard IEC-320 power cord between this connector and mains power (100 - 250VAC, 50/60 Hz). The front panel

Power LED

 (

Item 6

, page 

8

) will glow GREEN to indicate operating voltages are present.

Analog Output (From SDI IN) Connectors (1-4)

These four 3-pin male Phoenix connectors output 

analog

 signals converted from the 

SDI IN

 input connector (

Item D

) and are

configured for balanced low impedance connections. These connectors output an analog signal only from the 

SDI

 inputs and are

not

 affected by any of the units selection settings.   Connector pin-out information is silk-screened just above these connectors.

AES Input Level Gain Calibration DIP Switch

Input 

Level Gain Calibration

, the analog level which corresponds to a given digital input value, is settable via this DIP

switch.  The factory setting is +4 dB (analog) = -20 dBFS (digital).  See the silk-screened chart on the rear panel or the
diagram below for settings.

SDI Input and Output Connectors

The

 

female BNC 

SDI IN

 connector is meant to receive industry standard 

SDI

 formatted signals and is configured for an

unbalanced, 75 

 connection.  The unit de-embeds and monitors 

sub-group 1

 (channels 

1/2

) and 

sub-group

 

2

 (channels 

3/

4

) of 

SDI Group ID #1

.  Note that in the 

AMP2-VSA

 model, the 

SDI

 input is monitored 

only

 when the 

Analog/Digital

Source Select

 

Switch

 (

Item 5

, page 

8

) is set to 

DIGITAL

.

The

 

female BNC 

SDI OUT

 loop-through connector outputs a reclocked (regenerated) copy of the signal entering the 

SDI

IN

 input connector and is configured for an unbalanced, 75 

 connection.

Level Meter DIP Switch

This DIP switch sets the 

Line Level Calibration

Reference Level

, and 

PPM/VU Display Mode

 for the level meter LED

bargraph displays on the front panel.  See page 

19

 for for setting information.

Selected Analog Output Connectors (Right [A] and Left [B])

These two 3-pin male XLR connectors are 

analog

 outputs of the selected source(s) as assigned to the left and right

speakers.  The left connector outputs the 

left

 channel (

Channel A

) and the right outputs the 

right

 channel (

Channel B

).

Both connectors are configured for low impedance connections and the output signals are not affected by the volume/
balance controls or headphone mute.  For XLR pinout information see the diagram below.

Analog Input Connectors (CH. 1 - CH. 4)

These four 3-pin female XLR connectors, featured only on the 

AMP2-VSA

 model, accept standard 

analog

 audio signals

and are configured for balanced 70K 

 connections.  For XLR connector pin-out information, see the diagram under 

Item

F

 above.  Note that the 

Analog

 inputs are monitored 

only

 when the 

Analog/Digital Source Select Switch 

(

Item 5
