Installation
and Use
The Nyquist Power
Ampliers decode audio content distributed by the Nyquist
application and levels for loudspeaker drive. The ampliers act
as paging and public address endpoints for any source on the
network.
Each networked audio power amplier is a 2RU high enclosure
containing four Class D audio power amplier channels,
a universal switched-mode power supply, a USB port, one
RJ45 network jack, and pluggable Phoenix style terminals
for both low and high impedance loudspeakers and Line-Out
connections. Optionally, the Line-Out can be connected using
the available XLR connector.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not
expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

Avertissement: pour réduire le risque d’incendie ou de choc
électrique, ne pas exposer cet appareil sous la pluie et
l’humidité.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing
and that no objects lled with liquids, such as vases, shall be
placed on apparatus.
L’appareil ne doit pas être exposé aux écoulements ou aux
éclaboussures et aucun objet ne contenant de liquide, tel
qu’un vase, ne doit être placé sur l’objet.
The mains plug is used as disconnect device. The mains plug
of apparatus should not be obstructed OR should be easily
accessed during intended use. To be completely disconnect
the power input, the mains plug of apparatus shall be
disconnected from the mains.
La prise du secteur est utilisé pour déconnecter le système.
La prise du secteur ne doit pas être obstruée ou doit être

Important Safety Information
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not
expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
Always comply with the following basic safety precautions
when installing and using the unit:
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Clean only with dry cloth.
3

6. DO NOT install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including ampliers)
that produce heat.
7. DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade, or the
third prong, are provided for your safety. If the provided
plug does not t into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
8. Protect the power cord from being walked on and/or
pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from the apparatus.
9. Only use attachments/accessories that are specied by the
ampliers) that produce heat.
10. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
11. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has
been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
WARNING:
The apparatus shall be connected to a mains
socket outlet witha protective earthing connection.
To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not
expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and no objects lled with liquids, such as
vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is
used as the disconnect device, the disconnect
device shall remain readily operable.

Installation
To install the Power Amplier:
1. Ensure the POWER switch is in the off position.
2. Connect the universal mains power line cord into the amplier.
3. Connect a Cat5 type cable into the amplier’s Ethernet port
and ensure the other end of the cable is correctly connected
to your network.
4. Set the Amplier Mode switch to either 70/25V 8Ω (Bridged),
or 25V, 8Ω or 4Ω (2 Channel mode). The default is 2 Channel
mode.
Bridged mode is typically used when higher power, single
channel operation with a high impedance loudspeaker
load is desired. A typical use-case would be for 70V or 25V
loudspeaker runs, where the total load is no less than 8Ω.
2 Channel mode is typically used for 8Ω or 4Ω loudspeakers
or 25V loudspeaker runs. This mode allows the two amplier
channels to run independently.
5. Connect the loudspeaker wires to the Amplier Output
Terminals, which are labeled A +/-, B +/-, C+/-, and D+/-, as
appropriate for the desire mode of operation (see Figures 1
& 2.).
Bridged mode operation requires the speaker wires to
be connected across a single, different terminal on each
channel (A+ and B- and/or C+ and D-). (See Figure 1.) If two
channel mode is used, then Channel A is connected to A+ and
A- terminals, Channel B is connected to B+ and B- terminals,
Channel C is connected to C+ and C- terminals, and Channel D
is connected to D+ and D- terminals. (See Figure 2.)

Notice
Failure to observe minimum speaker impedance will cause
the amplier to self protect until the speaker conguration
is corrected.
6. If using the Line Input, you can route the signal to any paging
zone or station.
This balanced line level input can accept analog inputs up to
2V RMS. You can use either XLR or Phoenix (but not both)
as the input.
7. Plug the power line cord into the power source.
8. Toggle the Power switch to the On position.
For information about conguring the amplier for the Nyquist
system, refer to the Nyquist Power Ampliers Conguration
Manual.

Viewing and
Understanding LEDs
Two LEDs appear on the front of the
amplier. One is labeled POWER
and appears as solid red during initial
power up, ashes green during a boot
sequence, and appears solid green
when fully booted.
The STATUS LED uses the following
indicators to provide information
about the appliance:
• Flashing red – No network con-
nection found.
• Solid blue – The ampli-
er is in an uninitialized
state and is not associated
to a server. (The server may be
in a discovery mode.)
• Solid green – The amplier is registered to a Nyquist server
and is in normal operation.
• Flashing green – The amplier has an IP address but is not
registered with the Nyquist server.
• Solid red – The amplier needs to be rebooted or reset so
that the Nyquist application can resume.
• Flashing blue – The amplier is updating.

Clipping, Protection, and Temperature Indicators
In addition to the LEDs that appear on the actual appliance,
separate amplier module signal clipping, protection mode,
and temperature status indicators appear in the Nyquist
amplier’s web-based user interface. For more information
about these status indicators, refer to the Nyquist Audio Power
Ampliers Conguration Manual.
Using the Reset Button
The Reset button allows you to
restart the appliance or to reset
the appliance’s conguration
settings to the factory default
settings. For more information
about resetting conguration
settings, refer to the Nyquist
Audio Power Ampliers
Conguration Manual.
