Savant® 16 Channel Amplifier
Quick Reference Guide
For Product Info

Installation
The AMP-2000 should be placed on a solid flat surface such as a
table or shelf or in an audio/video equipment rack. It should be
placed upright so that its weight rests on the unit’s four feet
(removable). See Ventilation for information on providing adequate
cooling to the amplifier when placed in a cabinet.
Cabling and Wiring
Cabling Precautions
•The amplifier must be offwhenever you make changes to the
input connections.
•Never connect a source or preamplifier’s input to the inputs of
the AMP-2000 directly.
•All speaker wire connections must be made with the amplifier
off.
•Do not allow a single strand of wire to touch the amplifier chassis
or another connector.
External Trigger Connections
CAUTION!
Do not use a DC wall adapter. The long discharge time of the DC adapter’s filter
capacitor will delay the turn-offof the amplifier.
Savant GPIO External Trigger Connection
Daisy Chaining External Triggers
Ventilation
The AMP-2000 must be provided with adequate ventilation for
proper cooling.
•When installing the AMP-2000 in a cabinet, be sure that the rear
of the cabinet is open to adequate air to provide proper cooling.
•Be sure to leave a minimum of 3 inches clearance above and
behind the amplifier and at least 2 inches on each side.
•If installed in a rack, active thermal management (such as rack
fans) is recommended.
CAUTION! Do not block the ventilation holes on the sides and bottom of the
AMP-2000.
Setting the Amplifiers Turn On Mode
Constant – Power state of the amplifier is
controlled via the front panel master power
button:
IN - Amplifier is powered ON (Sensing circuitry
active)
OUT - Amplifier is powered OFF (Sensing
circuitry inactive)
Audio Sense – Zone/Channel power state is
controlled via the source inputs:
The master power button on the front panel
must be in the On position.
Zone/Channel turns on when an audio signal
higher than -46dB is present on both L/R inputs
for the zone.
Zone/Channel turns offafter 5 min. when an
audio signal lower than -46dB or no signal is
present on both L/R inputs for the zone.
Amplifier goes into standby mode if no signal is
present on any zone/channel for 5 minutes.
3-24V AC/DC Voltage Trigger – Power state of
the amplifier is controlled via an external trigger
(Savant GPIO):
The master Power button on the front panel
must be in the On position.
Amplifier will turn on when the voltage trigger
input receives a 3-24V signal.
Amplifier will turn OFF when the 3-24V signal is
removed.
Protection Modes
The AMP-2000 provides three protection modes. Note that the
AMP-2000 does not shut down in a protection mode; only the faulty
zone/channel is disabled.
Central potential protection mode (LED indication)
The central potential protection mode is the only mode that
activates the Protection LEDs on the front panel. This mode is more
commonly known as the DC potential protection mode and is
designed to protect the connected speakers from any DC voltage
that is output from the AMP-2000.
When the central potential protection mode is activated, the LED for
that respective channel will be turned on (Red). When a channel is
in the central potential protection mode, other active channels will
remain operational unless they are in a protection mode. After the
fault is fixed, the AMP-2000 will automatically restart the disabled
zone/channel.
Speaker short protection mode (no LED indication)
This mode will disable a zone/channel until the fault is fixed. After
the fault is fixed, the AMP-2000 will automatically restart the
disabled zone/channel.
Overload protection mode (no LED indication)
This mode will disable a zone/channel until the fault is fixed. After
the fault is fixed, the AMP-2000 will automatically restart the
disabled zone/channel.
