Chapter 1. About Your Myriad                                                           

 

1.1 Introduction 

 
Congratulations on your purchase of the Myriad, a state of the art amplifier that uses a microcontroller and DSP 
technology to accomplish a myriad of tasks.  This product has been designed for flexibility of use and ease of 
installation

use the default settings built into the amplifier or customize the Myriad’s responses using the Baton 

software.  The Myriad can be easily networked and communicated with remotely.   
 
Myriads are custom configured at the factory with the features selected by the customer. Some of these features 
are Smart Volume, Sensor Play, SD card, Data Acquisition.   

 
 
1.2 Smart Volume 

 
The Smart Volume feature provides the ability for the amplifier to automatically adjust the volume depending 
on the ambient noise. Myriads that have been configured for Smart Volume will have a microphone input on the 
back of the amplifier. To utilize this feature a Brown Innovations microphone must be connected. This 
microphone may be built into a speaker or separate.  By connecting the Myriad to a computer through the USB 
port the performance can be monitored and the configuration can be changed. A Windows based software called 
Baton is provide to make this communication easy.
