VHD5000 GUI · Introduction
This page has a side menu (A) and a bottom menu (B).
To navigate in the application you can use the touch screen or the encoder. Turn the encoder left or right to focus,
(C) - focused button) and then press the encoder to select the button (D) - selected button) or to produce a specic
action depending on the button type, (which will be explained below).
VHD5000 Introduction
On the front panel of the VHD5000 amplier is a 3.7"Color Transreective LCD touch display, a standby button
and a rotary encoder with a push-button function for controlling the system. After powering on, the VHD5000 will
display the KV2 logo until it has completed booting up.
Once the amp has booted, it will then change to the system overview screen. (Pic 1)

Setting
The LIST tab provides a view of the whole amplier setup. Each amplier channel has a box with its settings.
On Pic 8 you can see the system default values. Pic 9 shows a custom user setting. Muted channels are
shown with a red line through the band, and the text is grayed out.
wSUB-INT/EXT = Internal or external sub input, LD EQ = long distance equalizer for HF band.
When cardioid SUB mode is set, there is only one row for the SUBS - SUB CARDIOID
This screen also shows all of the other system settings; PHASE, GAIN, INPUT IMPEDANCE, SYSTEM DELAY, etc.
The SIGNAL METER (Pic 3) shows input level from -21 to +9dB with a 1sec peak as well as the SIGnal and LIMiter
indicators. The SIGNAL METER is included in the LIST, SETting and DIAgnostic tabs.
In the SETting tab (Pic 11) you can manage the amplier settings.
INPUT, LOW, MID, HI, SUB A, SUB B (or one button for SUB CARDIOID) and FILL buttons represent individual channels.
Press the channel button to open a window showing the advanced settings (except the MID channel which can only
be muted. This is because the MID band is treated as the baseline for the system and the other bands are gained
against the MIDS). Press and hold the channel button to mute or unmute each channel. A Red cross-hatch indicates
that the channel is muted (Pic 12). The LOW and HI bands have A and B channels which can be muted in the advanced
settings window. The MUTE button opens a window where you can mute output channels or unmute all channels.
The RESET button opens a window where you can conrm if you want to reset amplier settings to default. The Button
for controlling the FLYBAR is enabled when the VHD5.0 speaker multi-cable & ybar POWER UNIT is connected.

K-NET interconnection VHD5000/VHD5000
There are various options for how to interconnect VHD5 systems. It is recommended to use an Ethernet connection,
however you can also our proprietary K-Net connection, using conventional XLR microphone cables, or a combination
of XLR and ethernet, (Although at the time of publishing, K-NET still in Beta).
Connecting two VHD5 systems needs crossover Ethernet cable or preferably a network switch or router.
Use STATIC IP mode, (See chapter Ethernet) and set proper IP addresses on both devices.
When using the K-Net XLR network, termination must be set correctly.
Set TERMINATOR: ON for OPEN END DEVICEs and OFF for NOT OPEN DEVICEs).
(See chapter Ethernet)
This is an example:
