WA NING: Troubleshooting must be performed by a trained technician. Do not
attempt to service this equipment unless you are qualified to do so.
Check that the correct fuses have been installed. To reduce the risk of fire,
replace only with fuses of the same type and rating.
Exposed portions of the power supply assembly are electrically “hot”. In order to reduce the
risk of electrical shock, the power cord MUST be disconnected when the power supply assembly
is removed.
The ground terminal of the power plug is connected directly to the chassis of the unit. For
continued protection against electric shock, a correctly wired and grounded (earthed) three-pin
power outlet must be used. Do not use a ground-lifting adapter and never cut the ground pin
on the three-prong plug.

2.6 Fusing Information
Fusing InformationFusing Information
Fusing Information
WA NING: To reduce the risk of fire, replace fuses only with the same type and
rating.
Both units use a universal switching power supply that handles the full range of
nominal mains voltages between 90 and 264 VAC and any frequency between 50 Hz and 60 Hz.
Check Main Fuse
The Main fuse rating is:
T 1A L (1 Amp, 250 V, 20 mm, time-lag, low breaking capacity) for all operating voltages.
WA NING: The power to the unit must be off when the following steps are
performed. Ensure that the main power cable to the unit is not connected to a
power source.
1. Open the fuse compartment door in the AC power input housing with a small flat
blade screwdriver (Figure 1). Carefully pull out the fuse carrier.
2. Check that the replacement fuse has the correct rating. The fuse carrier must be
inserted into the compartment carefully. Do not force the carrier into the compartment
or both could be damaged.
3. Snap the fuse compartment door closed.
Internal Fuse
The switching power supply contains a separate fuse. Most fault conditions should be protected
by the main fuse.
If you find it necessary to replace the internal fuse, be certain to replace it with a fuse of the
same type and rating as printed on the switching power supply board.

Introduction to AERO.2000Introduction to AERO.2000
Introduction to AERO.2000
The Linear Acoustic AE O.2000 Audio Loudness Manager is a state-of-the-art, adaptive,
multiband, broadcast audio loudness controller with one or (optionally) two or three processing
instances, each of which can be specified in a 5.1+2+2, 2+2+2, or 2+2+2+2+2 configuration.
Each processing engine within the configuration can apply loudness control to the incoming
audio content. 5.1 surround processing engines (AMX5.1) can accept either discrete 5.1 audio
or upmix stereo content to 5.1 surround. The two 2-channel D Cs in an AMX5.1 engine can
function as independent stereo processors for other audio programs such as SAP or DVS, or
provide an Lo/ o or Lt/ t downmix of the 5.1 output (including automatic replacement of a
downmix in the absence of SAP audio) and, depending upon the specifics of the configuration,
insert local audio such as EAS or local emergency audio.
Professional audio metadata can be applied to the AE O.2000 to minimize processing and
control functions, such as upmixing. AE O.2000 protects itself against loss of incoming
metadata with reversion modes that apply user set reference loudness values. The resulting
audio is clean, consistent, and appropriately dynamic - perfect for transmission to consumers
via Dolby® Digital (AC-3), Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC-3), or any other format.
The AE O.2000’s features include:
•Program configurations: any combination of three AMX5.1 (5.1+2+2), AMX2.0 (2+2+2),
or AMX5x2 (2+2+2+2+2) processing engines with support for local input on the last
stereo D C of each instance.
•HD/SD-SDI audio de-embedding and re-embedding for all eight embedded channel
pairs plus eight pairs of AES-3, unbalanced, I/O.
•AE OMAX® multiband loudness processing which provides ITU- BS.1770-3 and EBU
128 compliant audio. AE OMAX includes wideband input AGC plus two additional
wideband AGC’s, two to five bands of multiband AGC and limiting, parametric EQ, look-
ahead final peak limiting, and selectable multiband source noise reduction.
•ITU- BS.1770-3 meters for LKFS or EBU -128 measurement of each output program.
•Selectable independent upmixers for main and local program sources, utilizing the
industry-standard UPMAX®II algorithm and AutoMAX™ detection and automatic
switching between stereo and discrete 5.1 sources.

AE O.2000 User Guide July 2016 L16/1/18039
©2016 LINEAR ACOUSTIC INC. THE TELOS ALLIANCE. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Page 2
•Full-time Lt/ t or Lo/ o downmix (or stereo output) of main 5.1-surround or main
stereo channel program is selectable on two stereo program outputs.
•SDI video delay.
•Dual, redundant, auto-ranging power supplies.
•Decoding options: Dolby Digital (AC-3), Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC3) and/or Dolby E.
•Encoding options: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC3 and/or Dolby E.
•GPI and Ethernet control.
•Nf emote IP-based, full-function remote control for configuration and monitoring.

4.1 Getting Started
Getting StartedGetting Started
Getting Started
This user guide is intended to be read while in front of a running AE O.2000 unit. It is most
helpful if the source(s) that will be used is actually connected to the AE O.2000. Doing this
provides feedback to the user, via the meters and IP audio monitoring, about the configuration
changes being made.
To make learning your way around the AE O.2000 as useful and rewarding as possible there is
some information that you should have at hand:
•The IP address and subnet mask to be assigned to the AE O.2000.
•Any gateway and DNS information for the network to which it will be attached.
•NTP server address(s)
•The IP address of the PC that will be used to connect to the AE O.2000.
•Knowledge of where the audio program(s) are embedded in the SDI source.
Knowledge of where the loudness controlled audio program(s) need to be embedded in
the SDI output.
Having this information will allow you to configure the unit for use as you learn to navigate the
AE O.2000 using both the front panel screen and controls and Nf emote.

AE O.2000 User Guide July 2016 L16/1/18039
©2016 LINEAR ACOUSTIC INC. THE TELOS ALLIANCE. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Page 3
Even if you are already a user of a Linear Acoustic loudness controllers you may want to read
through both Section 5 and Section 6. These sections cover front panel navigation and
Nf emote. Both contain important information about the configuration of the latest software
and firmware versions of this product.
Note!
All newer software versions of AE O.2000 REQUIRE A PASSWORD to operate.
Saving an empty password field (or restoring a configuration that does not have
a password) will prevent any further access to the unit. The unit must be
returned to the factory to restore a password. If you do not already know this,
then please, read sections 5.2 and 5.3 carefully.
Even experienced users should look at Section 7 Configuration Check List. This contains a brief
description of all of the items that need to be configured for typical use.
Section 9 Special Features, describes some of the special processing features that are part of
the AE O.2000 and where to find them.
If you are a new user, please register on the Linear Acoustic website at
www.linearacoustic.com. Click the Log In button and follow the instructions there. One benefit
of registering is that there are Application Notes available on the AE O.2000 page. These
provide specific configuration details about how to configure AE O.2000 for specific needs such
as EAS insertion, local emergency audio insertion, and local program insertion. Software
updates and user manuals can also be found on the product pages.

An AMX Instance, or simply “instance”, refers to a virtual block of processing capability. The
AE O.2000 comes loaded with one AMX5.1 Instance and, optionally, can have two additional
Instances;, AMX5.1, AMX2.0, or AMX5x2 can be added at the time of purchase or in the field at
a later time.
•An AMX5.1 Instance is capable of processing a surround program and two stereo
programs. This is referred to as 5.1 + 2 + 2 (or in some references as 5.1 + 2 + Local)
•An AMX2.0 Instance is capable of processing three stereo programs. One source can be
5.1 or mixed 5.1 and stereo. The 5.1 source will be downmixed. AMX2.0 is also referred
to as 2 + 2 + 2 (or in some references as 2 + 2 + Local)

AE O.2000 User Guide July 2016 L16/1/18039
©2016 LINEAR ACOUSTIC INC. THE TELOS ALLIANCE. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Page
•An AMX5x2 Instance is capable of processing five stereo programs. One source can be
5.1 or mixed 5.1 and stereo. The 5.1 source will be downmixed. AMX5x3 is also referred
to as 2+2+2+2+2.
In addition to multiple independent loudness control processors (called D C1, D C2, or
D CLocal) an Instance has many other processing functions. These include:
•Two UPMAX II upmixers, one for main program and one for local insert. (In AMX5.1
instances only)
•Automatic and seamless switching between surround and upmixing of stereo inputs
(AutoMAX)
•Downmixing (Lo/ o or Lt/ t)
•Creation of dual channel mono from one channel of an input pair (for SAP, DVS and local
emergency audio)
•Automatic replacement of SAP (or any stereo/mono source) with a downmix of the main
channel
•SDI source pair shuffling and embedding of AES digital audio inputs into the SDI output
•Local program insertion
•EAS or local emergency audio insertion
A DRC is the Dynamic ange Control portion of an Instance which provides loudness control.
Each Instance has 3 or more D C engines; D C 1, D C 2and D C Local are the minimum
number for any instance. In the AE O.2000 interface, D C 1, D C 2 and D C Local are
sometimes referred to as D C - Program 1, D C - Program 2 and D C - Local. An AMX5x2
engine has five D C engines; D C 1, D C2, D C 3, D C4 and D C5 (or D C Local
DRC Local (or just “Local”) is the D C with the capability to replace the output of D C 1, D C2,
or or both D C 1 and D C 2 programs, with locally inserted audio. The replacement can be
triggered by GPI, by IP command or manually.
Please see the block diagrams of the 5.1 and 2.0 instances for more information about signal
flow.
DARS is “digital audio reference signal”. This is an AES digital audio signal and can be silent or
contain audio. A timing reference is derived from the AES signal’s timing. This is NOT word
clock.
AES is sometimes used in the manual as an abbreviation for an AES-3 digital audio connection.
