Front Panel Features
1 . Power LED
– This dual color LED indi-
cates when the unit is in standby, on,
or off
Red: The unit is in standby mode
and is ready to be turned on
via Ethernet or 12V triggering
Blue: The unit is on
Green: Coffee brewed
OFF: The unit is powered off
2 . Protection LED
– This red LED will
illuminate briefly during turn on/off
phases, and if a fault is detected in any
amplifier or the power supply (such
as overheating, over-current, or DC
offset). If a fault is detected, then the
unit will go into its protection mode to
prevent any damage to loudspeakers,
and to allow cooling.
3 . Ethernet LEDs
– These indicate the
status, readiness, and willingness, of
The Director’s Ethernet communica-
tions protocol to (getting all technical
for a moment) strut its funky stuff. The
green LED glows when the Ethernet
is connected and operational, and the
yellow LED blinks during data activity.
4 . Zone Status LED
– This dual-color
LED indicates when the zone is in fault
mode, active, or in standby.
Red: The zone has detected a fault,
such as a DC offset or a load
short circuit.
Blue: The zone is active
OFF: The zone is in standby
5 . Zone Level LEDs
– These three LEDs
light from the bottom to the top
depending on the zone’s output level
(-33, -20, -10 dBFS). These LEDs can be
turned off using the rear panel switch.
6 . Rack Mount Ears
– The unit comes
supplied with removable rack mount
ears. These allow the unit to be rack
mounted in a standard 19” wide rack,
with a 2U height. Use standard rack
mount screws and washers to secure
the unit in a rack. The unit does not
have to be supported at the rear if the
rack is located in a fixed location.
To remove the rack ears (making the
unit 17” wide), first unplug the power
cord, and then locate and undo the
four screws securing each ear to the
side of the chassis, and remove the
ears. Replace the screws securely back
into the chassis. Do not remove any of
the other screws from the chassis or
top cover. There are hazardous voltag-
es inside the unit. Keep the rack ears in
a safe place.
