The Amplifier comes with a power cord according to the planned place of use.
There are two separate power supplies in the amplifier. They can be used individually or
together to increase power output. If only half power is needed, they can be seen as
completely redundant.

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.

2.5.1. Bridge Mode
In bridge mode, only adjacent channels can be used together, like 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, É 31/32.
The +Pin of both channels has to be connected to the speaker, the -stays unused in
this mode.

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.
