Protect
The C5 DSP amplifier system has sophisticated protection and monitoring systems which
keep the amplifier within its safe operating window whenever possible. This indicator
lights when the protection systems are active in any way.
User DSP indicator
Using the C-Net PC application the user can introduce audio processing such as EQ, gain
and delay. These settings can be bypassed using the User DSP settings defeat button. The
indicator will be lit when these DSP settings are in use.
User DSP Setting Defeat button
This button allows the user to bypass the user DSP settings; its status is shown by the
User DSP indicator.
Input Signal Indicators
A set of three pairs of indicators show signal present, 6dB below limit, and limit for each
channel. The signal present indicators operate at approximately 50 dB below maximum
output, giving a useful indication of even relatively low input signal levels. The -6dB
indicators are intended to show when the output is almost at maximum level. The Limit
indicators warn the user that the output has reached maximum and that the signal limiters
are now constraining the output.
