5.4.2 Ethernet Connection

Duecanali Series ampliers can be remotely controlled via an
Ethernet connection if provided with a KAESOP board. Two- or
four-ports ampliers allow Ethernet data connections with a
variety of possible topographies. See “9 Network Operations”
on page 28 for more details. If four plugs are present (2 in the
front and two in the back of the amp), the pair in the back are
master ports, while the two in front are the slave ports.

5.4.3 V ext
The “V ext” terminal, located on the rear panel of the Duecanali, is
used to supply the amplier’s internal Ethernet controller with the
minimum required power for remote on/off switching operations.
When the V ext port is powered by and external 9 V- 12 V DC
(1 A) power supply, the Ethernet controller is enabled to listen for
incoming connections such as device power-on commands.

5.5 Amplier Setup and Settings
5.5.1 Introduction
In all Duecanali Series ampliers, the combination of the front
panel buttons together with the LCD display allow the user access
to detailed information and complete control over the amplier’s
status. Each button has multiple functions and the display shows
the current active function for each button. This chapter illustrates
all the functions and settings accessible via the amplier front panel.
FIGURE 4 illustrates all Duecanali Series front panel elements.
Armonía Pro Audio Suite
All the setup and settings functions described in this section can be
accessed through a computer by installing Powersoft’s Armonía
Pro Audio Suite software. Armonía is a software environment
entirely developed in-house by Powersoft. Its two main features
are full end user remote control of the amp and its signal processing
capabilities. The intuitive interface provides reliable information
and real time control of all DSP functions (see “18.4.1 Powersoft’s
Armonía Pro Audio Suite” on page 42). Refer to the Armonía
