Install rack ears with pre-packaged screws. Keep ventilation
slots clear for airflow, particularly right front top & bottom.
Low Voltage Trigger - Via snap-in/pull-out phoenix connector. Input from
low voltage (3-15V) trigger source. Daisy-chain LV Output to next amp's Input.

Helpful Information - Triad RackAmp 700 DSP
RackAmp 700 has many significant changes from previous Triad RackAmps. They are highlighted in bold italic.
You MUST Select The Triad Subwoofer Model that RackAmp 700 DSP will drive when the amp is first powered up
or after every factory reset. Once confirmed, subwoofer model can only be changed in the Installer Setup Menu. Triad
In-Wall and InCeiling subwoofer model names are labeled on their front baffles. RackAmp 700 DSP now has EQ
Profiles for all current Triad Sub models (some require 8 ohm enclosures). A new FLAT selection has no model EQ and its
Sub High Pass Filter is switched OFF.
If you do NOT see your Triad subwoofer model, please contact Triad for help
.
Power On Methods - Default is (Auto) Sense. Other Power On Methods are Trigger (low voltage),
IR/IP & Manual (front panel button). IR/IP must be selected for infrared Power ON/OFF com-
mands to function; all other IR commands work with all other Power On Methods. For re-
mote trouble shooting or setup changes, amp can power On & Off to Standby via IP from any mo-
dern web browser when set to IR/IP; see "IP Setup and Advanced Features" document at www.triad
speakers.com. Press front standby button to temporarily disable amp in all Power On Methods
except Manual; light flashes blue to show amp is disabled. This no longer turns Power On
Method to Manual. To resume normal function, press front Standby button again. Solid blue
light shows amp is ON. Red light shows amp is in Standby. Flashing red indicates amp is in Protection.
Protection - No output? Front panel light ring flashes red when amp is in protection. Press any button for the display to show
protection mode (short, thermal,over voltage). Check subwoofer speaker cable for shorts and check amp for inadequate ventilation. If
hot, power amp OFF and let it cool down (can take up to 30 min). Reset RackAmp 700 DSP by switching off its Mains power
switch, next to back panel power cord, for 30+ seconds. Questions? Contact Triad sales & support at 1.800.666.6316.
Input Selection & Outputs - In User Menu select desired Input from default RCA (LFE unbalanced), XLR (balanced), and
Speaker. Only the selected input gets amplified. Speaker Level Inputs cannot pass thru to any output. For daisy chaining, only
the selected XLR or RCA Input now passes thru to its Output. And now both XLR and RCA Outputs can be highpass
filtered & delayed either for bass management & time alignment of 2-channel systems or for multiple subs to produce different
parts of the bass spectrum.
Menus - Menu changes now affect all inputs: RCA (unbalanced), XLR (Balanced) and Speaker inputs can now be filtered.
Menu changes occur in real time. What you see is what you hear. All changes are saved instantly and automatically. Volume
changes are no longer volatile. User Volume default is still 00dB but switching amp to Standby no longer resets Volume to
default. User Volume should now be used for permanent gain matching; there is no Input Gain adjustment in Installer Menu.
Presets change sound to suit your circumstances. Default Preset is Normal (identical to previous model's Reference Preset).
Cinema Preset boosts bottom end at 40Hz for extra oomph during movies. Night preset reduces deep subwoofer frequencies under
35Hz as a courtesy to family, friends, and neighbors. User 1, User 2, and User 3 custom presets are configured via IP (only) for
special circumstances or different listeners using 2 parametric filters & a separate default Volume per User Preset. The amplifier
maintains its preset when put into standby. For repeatability, calibrate to default Normal preset.
RackAmp 700 DSP drives speaker loads of 4 ohms or higher. Use with 8 ohm Mini & Bronze subs only, as singles or in pairs.
Advanced Features: To set up 6 Band Room EQ & 3 User Presets via computer IP, connect via LAN or directly using
standard Ethernet Cable. See "IP Setup and Advanced Features" document on our website, www.TriadSpeakers.com.
IR Input/Output - Input accepts feed from IR distribution. Output allows daisy-chaining IR control of multiple RackAmp
700 DSP amplifiers. Inserting a 3.5mm (mono) plug into IR Input disables front panel infrared receiving eye.
Setup Instructions are for typical multichannel home theater applications with AVR or preamp-processor.
Input Voltage & Fuses - RackAmp 700 DSP automatically adapts to accept either 110VAC or 220VAC. The
only change necessary is an IEC power cord appropriate for local conditions. Fuse values do not change. There are no internal
fuses. The only accessible fuse is to the left of the IEC power cord socket.
Firmware Updates can be made in the field. Contact Triad for information.
Specifications - 700 Watts; 3.5 Amps/220VAC, 7 Amps/110; 10AL250VP Fuse; 3mS latency.
