3. GETTING STARTED
Welcome!
This user guide details SAVI’s Amp.One. Whether building a new audio infrastructure, updating an
existing one, or just maintaining what’s already in place, this is your resource for how to do it with
SAVI. For questions not answered here, contact SAVI Support at: [phone] or
[e-mail].
3.1 Requirements
SAVI’s AMP.One is an analog audio device. As such, you will need line-level inputs and speakers
to connect to the outputs. For inputs, we recommend using the SAVI DSP.One to provide flexible
pre-mixed audio.
3.2 I/O Layout
A. Main power input
B. 8 x input gain knob
C. 8 x line input (Phoenix connector,
3.55mm)
D. 4 x output bridged/unbridged DIP switches
E. 8 x amplified output OR 4 x amplified bridged
F. output (Phoenix connector, 5.08mm)

3.3 Connector Wiring
•Line inputs
The Phoenix connector wiring changes depending on the type of connection. Be sure to
follow this wiring guide for the audio to sound as it should.
Line input connections can be either Balanced or Unbalanced.
•Amplified outputs
Amplified outputs can be configured for either 2-channel (unbridged) or bridged. 2-
channel (unbridged) allows for full use of all 8 outputs with one speaker or speaker line
per channel.
Bridged connections use two channels to push a more powerful output. To enable
bridged mode on an output pair, push the DIP switch up into the bridged setting in the
Output Configuration section on the back of the device.
WARNING:Changing between Unbridged Mode and Bridged Mode requires a full-power
cycle to take effect.
Ensure cabling is correct before powering back on.

4. OPERATIONAL
4.1 Bridged Configuration
Inputs and outputs are hard configured as one-to-one connections (input 1 connects to output 1,
input 2 to output 2, etc.,). When using bridged mode, inputs and outputs are connected in pairs.
Sources on input 1 will be routed to both output 1 and 2 and that output must be wired as a
bridged output (see previous page). Additionally, in this bridged mode, sources connected to
input 2 will be ignored. This pattern continues, odd numbered inputs are connected to their
respective output pair. Example: A source on input 5 will route through both output 5 and 6 when
bridged.
4.2 Gain Configuration
Gain settings can be adjusted on inputs by using the input gain knobs. These knobs are inset and
require a standard flat-head screwdriver to adjust. Best practice for adjustments is to twist the
gain knob counter- clockwise to the lowest setting and then raise the gain by rotating clockwise
to the desired setting.
Note: Be sure to leave ~20% headroom on each input/output for best performance.
