NOTE: The default PIN to access the setup menu is “1234”.
B) STATUS LEDS: Report a special event happening in the system:
Protect: (Red) A fault condition is being reported by the amplifier. If this LED is
constantly lit even after resetting the device, please contact the technical
service.
Standby: (Orange) This led is lit when the equipment is set in Low Power
consumption mode. This can be done via the touchscreen (ECOMode ON) or
via PC. When ECOMode is in AUTO, the system will go into Standby after 5
minutes without signal at the input. When signal is present again, the system
will go automatically into normal mode.
Mute: (Red) The system is muted (amplifiers are disabled). The system can
be muted from the PC remote control or from the touchscreen.
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 touchscreen or 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: Computer connection through Ethernet protocol. Two 8-pin RJ45 /
EtherCon® compatible connectors with an internal switch allow the connection of
several units in daisy-chain. Please refer to Amate Audio DSPStudio Quick
Installation Guide for more information on the remote connection.
