Automatic configuration

require any software.

purposes only. The new measured values will not be saved until
settings and parameters are set back to their initial values or a
factory reset is done.
Factory Reset
To perform a factory reset, start by unplugging the mains cable.
Press and hold the push button on the amplifier's rear panel and
reconnect the mains cable while still pressing the button. Keep
holding the button (for about 10s) until the 'Signal' and 'Status'
LEDs light up in red and release. The 'Signal' and 'Status' LEDs will

to release the button while the 'Signal' and 'Status' LEDs are still on

No channel will ever be assigned limiters that exceed the power
of the power supply. The main reason for selecting the maximum
voltage is to ensure that 25/70/100V loudspeakers will get the
power selected on their tapping, if a channel is using less power
than it can deliver.
If the application is 25V or 70V, then there is a risk that the limiters
get set too high if the connected load isn't requiring full power.
The maximum voltage can be selected with short presses on the
push button on the amplifier's rear panel. The selected voltage
will be displayed as follows:

Following the measurement procedure, the 'Signal' and 'Status' LEDs
will flash in green, indicating that the calibration was successful. Other
colours indicate different measurement results, such as detection of
open loads or output short-circuits in the outputs. A dedicated LED chart

Press the push button until the 'Network' LED turns cyan and release
while the LED is still on. This will reset the amplifier's network
configurations and put it in DHCP mode. In A+ and AD models, this
operation will also change the operation mode of the ethernet ports as
indicated by the 'Switched' LED:
• Lit: The default "switched mode" configuration. The two ports
are connected and will both work for Dante/AES67 and control/
monitoring of the amplifier's DSP. It means that only one Ethernet
cable is necessary for control and Dante audio. It also means that the
product can be inserted in a daisy chain of other Gigabit Ethernet
products as long as there is enough bandwidth.
• Unlit: The internal ethernet switch is disabled. The two ports are not
connected and the port on the right-hand side is assigned to Dante/
AES67 only. The port on the left is only for controlling/monitoring
the amplifier's DSP.
Routing and control via GPI
I/O Routing - 4-Channel models
All 4-channel models allow straight 4-in/4-out analogue routing,
where analogue inputs labelled 1 and 2 are a summation of balanced
and unbalanced inputs. When using unbalanced inputs only, these
will get a 12dB boost so that normal unbalanced sources will deliver
enough level to drive the amplifier to full power. When using both
balanced and unbalanced inputs simultaneously, the latter will get a
further -30dB reduction, so that priority is given to balanced sources.
I/O Routing - 2-Channel models
All 2-channel models have mixed two unbalanced inputs (labelled
1 and 2) and two balanced inputs (labelled 3 and 4), meaning that
balanced and unbalanced sources can be used.
I/O Routing - Dante/AES67 (A+ and AD models - A+ feature AES67 only)
In A+ and AD models, four additional Dante/AES67 inputs and outputs
are available. For these models, the source selection strategy is enabled
by default, with Dante/AES67 inputs having a higher priority over the
corresponding analogue inputs when audio signal is coming from both
source types simultaneously. The source selection and priority settings
can be configured from ArmonìaPlus or a third-party API.
VCA Operation via GPIs
In 4-channel models, the four GPI terminals located on the amplifier's
rear panel can be connected to 10kOhm passive potentiometers to
attenuate the output levels. Each GPI connector (I1, I2, I3, and I4)
corresponds to one output channel (1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively).
In 2-channel models, the output levels of channels 1 and 2 can be
attenuated with via GPI connectors I1 and I2, respectively.
