The amplifier is a device of protection class 1. Make sure that the protective
conductor (earth) is connected properly. A missing earth can lead to dangerous
voltages at the enclousure!
Keep the device away from dust, moisture, water and other liquids! In such case,
the further usage is prohibited!
The amplifier has a relatively high output power and possibly can be a hazard for
people and speakers. Pay particular attention to any defective set volume.
Do not touch the housing of the device, during operation. The surfaces can be
hot. After switching off the device, wait 30 minutes till touching the device.

In the following cases it is necessary to return the amplifier for examination to the
manufacturer. Contact details can be found on our website: www.innosonix.de

DANTE IP SETTINGS
To control and change IP Settings of DANTE, use the DEVICE page DANTE SETTINGS, or use in
Dante Device View.
CONTROL IP SETTINGS
There are several ways to change the IP of an Amplifier. See DISPLAY MENU to change on Display
Menu, DEVICE to change on Website or use the external software IDFM (see IP SETTINGS).
There are three different IP Types available:
Table 3. IP TYPES
TYPE DESCRIPTION
static set IP, SUBNET and GATEWAY manually
dhcp system tries to get a DHCP release, there is also an auto ip fallback, if no lease available
auto-ip force zeroconf IP, device will get an address with a 169.254/16 prefix (that is, 169.254.xxx.xxx)
HOSTNAME
With mDNS the device is also available with its hostname. With hostname AMP1 the local name
is AMP1.local. The Name can be used to call every network service, like a webbrowser,
http://AMP1.local.
There are several ways to change the Hostname of an Amplifier. See DEVICE to change on
Website or use the external software IDFM.

2.4.4. MADI (AES10) / AES3
MADI (Multichannel Audio Digital Interface) or AES10 is a standard that defines electrical
characteristics and the data format of an interface that carries multiple channels of digital audio.
There are two Coaxial Inputs available, which also can be used as AES3 Inputs, one optical input
and an optical output. On every Input the device supports 44.1kHz / 48kHz with 56 / 64 channels
and 88.2 kHz / 96kHz with 28 / 32 channels.
MADI Optical
To use the Optical MADI interface, a 1300nm multimode cable with SC connectors is required.
MADI Coaxial / AES3
The two BNC (75 Ohm) jacks are multifunctional inputs and can be used as AES10 MADI or AES3
interface.
To use the BNC input for AES3, a 110 to 75 Ohm impedance transformer like (NADITBNC-F) or
(NADITBNC-FX) is required.
Every AES3 input has an asynchronous samplerate converter enabled which can hanlde
samplerates from 32kHz - 192kHz.

2.5.2. Overcurrent behaviour
1. The integrated software CURRENT Limiter (LIMIT) will always try to limit the output current to
itÕs Max output Current Limited as specified in the datasheet. This will also protect the
amplifier output stage when a hard short between the output terminals is present. The amp
will drive ~0V and its maximum current specified.
2. If the software limiting will fail, an additional hardware comparator will shut down the
amplifier output stage if Emergency Shutdown Current is exceeded. The channel has to be
manually power cycled to recover from that state.
