Installation and Operation
Setting Up the PowerShare Amplifier
The asymmetrical PowerShare capability of the amplifier is easy to use and does not require software to configure. Simply
set the output trims according to the power you want distributed to each output load, and the amplifier ensures that the
600 watts peak power is not exceeded . In scenarios where more power is demanded from the amplifier, the amplifier will
automatically limit all outputs equally until the power demand is reduced.
How to Set Up a PowerShare Amplifier:
1. Starting with the amplifier power OFF, make all required power, audio, and control connections.
2. For installations only requiring pre-loaded loudspeaker EQ:
• Set
the CONFIG switch to REAR.
• Set
the remaining amplifier configuration switches as necessary.
•
Rotate each channel EQ dial to the required setting.
• Turn the amplifier ON.
3.
For installations that require advanced customization with the PowerShare Editor software:
• Set the CONFIG switch to SOFTWARE. The EQ dials are now ignored .
• S
et the remaining amplifier configuration switches as neces sary .
• Turn
the amplifier ON.
•
Connect the PC or laptop to the amplifier's USB port.
• Start the PowerShare Editor software on your PC or laptop and configure each block as required for the
application . See the help file for details.
4.
If using CC-1 ControiC e nter zone controller(s) for remote control , then rotate each amplifier output attenuator to 0 dB
attenuation, fully clockwi s e. This enables each CC-1 z one controller to attenuate over the full range. To have the CC-1
operate across a limit ed range, increase the output attenuation as needed by rotating the output attenuator counter-
clockwise.
5. If all outputs are set to drive 70 / 100V Hi-Z loudspeakers then rotate each corresponding output attenuator to 0 dB
att enuation. Set ea ch loudsp eaker tap to th e appropriate setting. Based on the total loudsp eaker tap sett i ngs the
amplifi er will adapt and de liv er the requir ed power to each output. The 600 watts of available power can be dis tributed
in any way across all amplifier outputs. For ex amples see the PowerShare Applic a tion Guide.
6.
If all outputs ar e set to driv e 4-8 0 Low-Z loudspeakers then rotate each output att e nuator until th e desired level is
reached from each output. Play a signal containing the highest normal input level or pink noise. Ensure the material
is near the input sensitivity for best noise performance. Observe the limit LED for the output being adjusted . If the
signal level is higher than the prot e ction limit for the loudspeaker, you will see the limit LED light amb e r. Incr ease the
attenuation until th e limit LED does not light , or only occasionally lights. The 600 watts of available power can be
di s tributed in any way acro ss all amplifier outputs. For ex ample s see the PowerShare Appli ca tion Guide .
7. Since each output is configurable to drive either Hi-Z or Low-Z loud speakers, the amplifier can support mixed-
impedance inst allations. In thi s case, first configur e th e Hi-Z ch anne ls b ef ore configur ing the Low- Z channels.
8.
When setting up the amplifier , monitor the signal LEOs for input clipping and the limit LEOs for output limiting to
ens ur e th e amplifi er is wo rking within prop er operating conditions . If necessary, make adjustments.
Technical Considerations:
•
When a loudspe a ker EQ is s elected , either from the rear panel dials or in the so ftwar e, th e a ppropriat e crossover and
Vpeak a nd Vrm s limit e rs for th at loud spea ker are a utomatically loaded . They can be adjust ed in softwar e if necessary.
•
Adjusting the attenu a tor of a single channel does not affect the level of other channe ls. The only exception is if the
a mplifi er is a tt e mpting to de liv er mor e th an 600 watt s tot al power . If th e total amplifier power is ex ceeded th en the
amplifi er will limit all output s simultan e ously and equally, until th e de mand is re duced. If the demand remains too high ,
the amplifier will gradually limit to an average of 1/3rd power (200 watts ) continuously.
• There are fiv e ways to adjust output power in a PowerShare amplifi er application :
•
Adju st input signal level rela tiv e to th e sens itivity se ttin g of th e a mplifi e r.
• Adjust th e output att e nuator se tting s of the amplifi e r.
• Adjust the CC-1 ControiC e nter z one controller(s) se ttin g s.
• Adjust th e limit er se ttings for each output using the PowerShare Editor softwar e.
•
Adju st the tr ans form er tap s etting s of a ny conne cted Hi-Z loudspeaker s.
