CH3 (ST1) TRS Audio input. This is a 3.5mm TRS socket with switching contacts, meaning
that once any connector is inserted into this socket, the RCA input of CH3 (13) is disabled. The
3.5mm TRS socket is ideal for mobile player sources. Note that depending on the link mode
switch (18), the stereo channels are either summed up to a mono signal and played by the
internal speaker, or the left channel of the source is played by the internal speaker and the
right channel of the source is sent out via the Link connector (17).
CH4 (ST2) TRS Audio input. This is a pair of ¼’’ TRS sockets, providing a balanced stereo
input. The right channel socket is a switching type; as long as no connector is inserted into the
right channel, the right channel will automatically carry the left channel signal. If the signal
connected to this input is a mono signal, hence always insert this into the left channel socket.
Note that depending on the link mode switch (18), the stereo channels are either summed up
to a mono signal and played by the internal speaker, or the left channel of the source is played
by the internal speaker and the right channel of the source is sent out via the Link connector
(17).
CH4 (ST2) input impedance switch. Switches the input impedance to match high- or
low-impedance sources connected to the CH4 (ST2) input (15).
LINK output connector. This is a male XLR connector to supply a line-level balanced audio
signal to further Andante V2 series speakers. Note that the signal carried by this output
depends on the setting of the Link Mode switch (18), and refer to the explanations provided
there.
Link Mode switch. Depending on the setting of this switch, the signal presented on the Link
output (17) can either be the same as the mono sum of the internal channels, so that the
further speaker connected to the Link output (17) will carry the exact same signal; or it can
be set to carry the complementary stereo channel so that an external speaker connected to
the Link output (17) carries the right stereo channel while the internal speaker carries the left
stereo channel.
Main Frequency Range switch. Depending on the setting of this switch, the frequency band
below 120Hz is removed (switch pressed, satellite mode) or not (switch released, fullband
mode). Removing the frequency band below 120Hz can be sensible if the unit is operarted in
combination with a subwoofer. If no subwoofer is present, this switch shall remain released for
fullband frequency range reproduction. Note: indepenent from this setting, the LINK output
always works in fullrange mode.
Master volume control. This sets the total level of the mix created by the input volumes (8) of
CH1 (IN1), CH2 (MIC), CH3 (ST1) and CH4 (ST2).
Master Equalizer. This is a 2-band EQ, providing frequency response shaping to the master
signal.
Power Amplifier Protection Indicator. This LED will come on when the internal power amplifier
limiter is engaged, indicating that the maximum system level is reached. Decrease the signal
level until the indicator is off.
Power indicator. This LED indicates whether the product is switched on or off.
