Chapter 1: Introduction
Introducing the latest in ELAN digital amplifier design and innovation – the D16 Digital
Power Amplifier. Designed specifically for the custom installer, the D16 is the perfect
solution for multi-room whole-house applications. Providing cool performance and
flexibility, the D16 delivers 16 channels of powerful audio that can be configured into many
combinations to suit any situation that may be encountered in a whole-house, distributed
audio system.
The D16 utilizes low heat/high efficiency Class D digital technology which features an 8x
oversampling rate and 48 bit signal processing delivering the cleanest and most efficient
audio amplification available. Each channel of the D16 has a true power rating of 50 watts
@ 8 ohms and 75 watts @ 4 ohms – all channels driven.
Configuration of the D16 can be performed via the front panel interface and includes
advanced features such as max volume output, and min/max turn on levels. Independent
channel IR commands are available in ELAN’s Configuration Software.

Chapter 2: Operation & Settings
Front Panel Controls
The D16 front panel buttons provide control for the initial setup and amplifier status. Any
button press activates the front panel display which shows important system information
until the display times out.
Channel Button
The CHANNEL button toggles through front panel display information pertaining to the
individual 16 channels plus an ALL channel option that is available in the Installer Menus.
Menu Button
The menu button allows access to consumer oriented functions as well as options reserved
for installers. In CONSUMER MODE the end user can adjust volume settings on a channel
by channel basis, provided that the channel is UNLOCKED, as well as see current
volume/gain and signal presence information. Installers can access additional setup
functions.
In NORMAL MODE,the MENU button toggles through the following menu choices:
STATUS, VOLUME, INPUT SELECT, LOCK, ACE, INPUT VIEW, OUTPUT VIEW, and
UTILITY.
Similarly, while in ELAN MODE, the MENU button toggles through the following menu
choices: STATUS, VOLUME, INPUT SELECT, LOCK, ACE, INPUT VIEW, OUTPUT VIEW,
ABSOLUTE MAX VOLUME, MIN TURN ON VOLUME, MAX TURN ON VOLUME, and
UTILITY.
These menu items are explained in detail in the following pages as well as how to access
installer menu screens and switch between NORMAL MODE and ELAN MODE.

Volume Adjustment Menu (continued)
Use the CHANNEL button to select the desired channel and the up and down arrow buttons
to increment and decrement the gain setting.
A bar graph displays the current channel output (in dBu). The arrowhead indicates a recent
output peak level.
Current trigger status for the selected channel is shown as well as an indication if power
saving mode is engaged (PS). (See Power Saving Menu on page 26.)
The consumer menu does not allow selecting ALL channels at once. This feature is
reserved for installers.
Fault Menu
If a channel is FAULTED the following screen will show in the display.
This shows the faulted channel’s number as well as how many times the channel has
faulted due to high temperature and low impedance combined. It also shows high
temperature warnings separately. The end user can attempt to clear the fault by pressing
the UP or DOWN arrows.
If the end user is unable to clear the fault they should contact the dealer for assistance. It
is not necessary to stop using the amplifier in the meantime; continuing to use the
amplifier WILL NOT cause additional damage.
The speaker wires should not be connected to different amplifier channels without first
checking for shorts or low impedance on the speakers.

Installer Menu Options
The D16 has two operating modes, Normal and ELAN.
(See Operating Mode Menu on page 23.)
ELAN mode allows the amplifier to respond to D16 IR and VIA!NET commands that
can affect its channels. (See Appendix A for the Command Set.)
NORMAL mode does not allow IR or VIA!NET control of the D16.
To access the installer menu screens press and hold the MENU button for five seconds
until the following screen shows in the display window. To exit the installer menu screens
press and hold the MENU button again for five seconds or power cycle the amplifier.
Amplifier Status Screen
The Amplifier Status screen allows you to view the current assignments for amplifier gain
and input routing for each of the 16 channels. Press the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to
see information for the next group of four channels. Alternatively, press the CHANNEL
button to move forward one channel at a time.
The top of the screen displays the mode the amplifier is in, either ELAN MODE or NORMAL
MODE, followed by the channel designations of the chassis,
I.E. CH1 – CH16.
CH:1 V:75 IN:1 means that audio input 1 (IN:1) is being amplified at 75% (V:75) and is
being routed to the channel 1 (CH:1) amplified output.

To adjust amplifier output gain on an individual channel, press the MENU button to cycle
through the setting options until the following screen appears:
Use the CHANNEL button to select the desired channel and the UP and DOWN arrow
buttons to increment and decrement the gain setting. Selecting ALL with the CHANNEL
button applies settings to all 16 channels.
Current trigger status for the selected channel is shown as well as an indication if power
saving mode is engaged (PS).
The VOLUME Menu will allow any or all channel's volume to be adjusted from 0% (MUTE)
to 100% (maximum gain).
The Factory Default setting for each channel is 75.
The VU (Volume Unit) bar displays real time (current) volume (in dBu) detected at the
selected channel output. The range is from -15 dBu to+30 dBu. The arrowhead indicates a
recent output peak level.
TRIGGER and PS (Power Sense) status are also displayed.

Trigger ON is the factory default.
The TRIGGER options are:
• On: The selected channel is on (consuming energy) and the trigger jack on the rear panel
is active.
• Off: The selected channel is off (NOT consuming energy) and the trigger jack on the rear
panel is not active.
• On/PS: The selected channel is off (NOT consuming energy) because the selected channel
is in Power Saving Mode even though the trigger jack on the rear panel is active.
When ACE (Automatic Clip Elimination) is active on the selected channel, ACE will be
displayed above Volume %.
(See "ACE Menu" on page 20.)
When AVR (Automatic Volume Reduction) is active, AVR is displayed above Volume %.
AVR is active whenever the amp is being overdriven. When AVR is active, the D16 turns its
volume down until it is not being overdriven. The D16 will return to its normal volume
setting when it is no longer being overdriven.
(See the Troubleshooting section for more information on AVR.)

Setting System Volume Levels
1. Set each D16's channel level to 25%.
2. Raise the volume of all touch panels, touchpads or volume controls to near maximum.
3. Play source program material, such as a CD or a radio station.
4. Have someone step into the room and listen.
5. Enable ACE for all channels. (See ACE Menu on page 20.)
6. On the Volume screen, select the channel that is wired to the speaker where the
person is listening.
7. Slowly adjust Volume Up for this channel until the audio begins to distort, and then
drop the level one or two percentage points.
8. Follow this procedure for all channels to achieve a good balance of sound from the
most used listening position in the zone.
9. Enable or Disable ACE for all applicable channels.
Note: High volume levels can cause clipping and distortion. This can damage the
loudspeaker's components and cause the amplifier to go into protection mode. The
protection circuits will reset when the output signal conditions have returned to normal.
Overdriving the amplifier can damage the amplifier and void the manufacturer's warranty.
