Master Audio
A) LCD: Displays basic information about the DSP Status
B) KEYPAD: Allows the user to perform basic operations on the DSP such as IP
address setting, Preset selection, etc.
C) STATUS LEDS: Report a special event happening in the system
Protect: (Red) A fault condition is being reported by the amplifier. If this LED is
constantly lit even after resetting the device, please contact the technical
service.
Standby: (Orange) This led is lit when the equipment is set in Low Power
Consumption mode. This mode can only be set through the PC connection.
Mute: (Orange) The system is muted (amplifiers are disabled). The system
can be muted from the PC remote control or from the keypad.
IMPORTANT: When the amplifier is in MUTE, the PROTECT LED will be also lit to
show that the amplifier is disabled. Also when the system is waking up from the
STANDBY mode, the PROTECT led will be lit for a few seconds. Under these
circumstances the PROTECT LED is reporting that the amplifier is disabled, but not a
fault condition.
D) SIGNAL INPUT LEDS: Monitor the signal arriving at the module input.
Input: Signal is present at the input. Nominal input level is +8dBu (2Vrms).
>8 Overload: The input signal exceeds +14dBu (4Vrms), so it will be
compressed. Avoid the continuous lighting of this led in order to preserve the
dynamic range of the audio signal.
E) OUPUT LEDS: Show the amplifier output level, both for Low and High channels.
-24dB: The amplifier is delivering output power at -24dB of its maximum power
-12dB: The amplifier is delivering output power at -12dB of its maximum power
Clip: The amplifier is delivering its maximum output power
The connection panel has the following parts:
F) NETWORK: Computer connection through Ethernet protocol. Two 8-pin RJ45 /
EtherCon® compatible connectors with an internal switch allow the connection of
several units in daisy-chain. Please refer to Master Audio DSPStudio Quick Installation
Guide for more information on the remote connection.
G) BALANCED INPUT/LINK:
XLR-3 Female balanced signal connector for signal input.
XLR-3 Male connector for parallel connection of various cabinets with the same input
signal.
IMPORTANT: Please always use balanced microphone cable with the following pin
assignment:
1= Shield (Ground) 2= Live (+)
H) AC INPUT/OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION: These leds show the status of the
AC mains supply.
ON: (Blue) When lit, the equipment is ON and the AC input level is within the
permitted range (up to 250 VAC).
