H. Preset Indicator
LED flashes to signal the number of the current preset if active.
LED is green if the preset values have not been changed once
loaded. LED is yellow if the preset values have been changed
since they were loaded.
I. Reset Button
To restore factory default settings: Press the Reset Button with a
thin, non-conductive object, then turn on amplifier power, and
continue to hold the reset button until the Preset light comes
on green (approximately 16 seconds)..
J. Data Indicator
Flashes yellow only when the amplifier is polled for data, or is
polled to see whether it is online.

OUTPUTS SECTION
C. Speakon
®
Output Connectors
Two high-current, 50A Neutrik
®
Speakon
®
NL4MLP
(mates with NL4FC and NL4), for channels 1+2 or
3+4 and one NLT8 for channels 1 thru 4. Class 2
output wiring required.
These two connectors accept 2-pole or 4-pole
Speakon
®
connectors. See Figures 2.5 through 2.10
and Tables 1, 2 and 3 for connector wiring. The top 2
speakon connectors are wired each for stereo
operation off of one connector, the bottom NL8
speakon connection is for four way operation off
of one connector.
D. Binding Post Output Jacks
One pair per channel of high-current, 60A
color-coded binding posts. Accepts banana
plugs, wire or spade lugs.
E. Power Cord Connector
32 amp PowerCon
®
AC Inlet. Voltage range is
indicated above IEC inlet.
F. Reset Switch/Circuit Breaker
If the current draw of the amplifier exceeds safe
limits, this breaker automatically disconnects
the power supply from the AC mains. The switch
resets the circuit breaker.
G. MAC Address
This specific amplifier’s network identifier that is
burned into its firmware.
It is not recommended to loop through more than four
amplifiers. If larger distribution of AES is needed, the use of
an AES distribution ampli fier is recommended.
NETWORKING SECTION
L. Link/Act Indicator
Shows net work activity.The LINK ACT LED illuminates when
the network port is connected and flashes when network
activity is detected.
M. Network Connector
This EtherCon
®
Ethernet connector is for networking.
Warning: Only connect to networks that remain inside the
building.
N. Cond Indicator
Turns on if the amplifier is set to be the CobraNet conductor.
The CobraNet conductor is a CobraNet node that provides
the master timing clock for the CobraNet digital audio
transport network.
