IMPORTANT:
When the amplifier is in MUTE, the PROTECT LED will be also lit to
show that the amplifier is disabled. Also when the system is waking up from the
STANDBY mode, the PROTECT led will be lit for a few seconds. Under these
circumstances the PROTECT LED is reporting that the amplifier is disabled, but not a
fault condition.
C) SIGNAL LEDS
: Indicate the status of the audio signal in the system:
•
Overload:
(Red) The input signal exceeds +14dBu (4Vrms), so the input
compressor is engaging. Avoid the continuous lighting of this led in order to
preserve the dynamic range of the audio signal.
•
Limiter:
(Orange) The output limiters of the system are being engaged. When
this led blinks, the maximum power of the system is being reached. Avoid the
continuous lighting of this led in order to preserve the dynamic range of the audio
signal.
•
Input:
(Green) Signal is present at the input. This LED will light when the signal
reaches -16dBu.
NOTE: The SIGNAL LEDs may be deactivated by selecting the option “LEDs OFF” in
the PC software.
D) AC INPUT/OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION:
These LEDS show the status of the
AC mains supply.
•
POWER ON:
(Blue) When lit, the equipment is ON and the AC input level is
within the permitted range (up to 250 VAC).
•
>250V:
(Red) When activated, the AC voltage is permanently out of the
permitted range of the equipment, so it will remain under protection until this
condition is solved. Revise your connections and mains power installation and
consider that other equipment connected to this line may have been damaged.
The connection panel has the following parts:
E) NETWORK:
Two 8-pin RJ45 / EtherCon® compatible connectors for connection to
Ethernet networks up to 1Gbps. This connection can be used for remote control via
software (DSPStudio) and for audio signal input via Dante
TM
audio networking. Please
refer to Amate Audio DSPStudio Quick Installation Guide for more information on
remote connection. The two connectors are interconnected by means of an internal
switch, so they can be used interchangeably and allow the chain connection of several
boxes.
IMPORTANT:
If Dante is used it is not recommended to chain more than eight units,
due to latency reasons.
F) BALANCED INPUT/LINK:
XLR-3 Female balanced signal connector for signal input.
XLR-3 Male connector for parallel connection of various cabinets with the same input
signal.
Nominal Input sensitivity: +8dBu (2 Vrms)
Maximum Input Voltage without input compression: +14dBu (4Vrms)
