| Front Panel Controls and Indicators |
| Bridge Mode Indicator: Yellow LED illuminates when the
rear-panel Mode Switch is set to the “Bridge” position. |
| Ready Indicator: Green LED, one per channel,
illuminates when the channel is initialized and ready to produce audio
output. Indicator is off when PIP puts the amplifier in standby mode via
the IQ system. |
| Signal Indicators: Three green LEDs per channel
indicate the amplifier’s input and output signal levels. |
| Signal: input signal is above –40 dBu.
–20 dB:
amplifier output is 20 dB below clipping. –10 dB: amplifier output is
10 dB below clipping. |
| Clip Indicator: Red LED, one per channel, illuminates
when the channel’s output signal reaches the onset of audible clipping.
The Clip Indicator also will illuminate during Thermal Level Control (TLC)
limiting or when the input compressor/limiter is protecting the amplifier
from input overload. |
| Thermal Indicator: Red LED, one per channel,
illuminates when the channel has shut down, or is very near shutting down,
due to thermal stress or overload. |
| Fault Indicator: Red LED, one per channel, flashes when
the amplifier output channel has stopped operating. |
|
Data Indicator: Yellow LED indicates IQ Loop data
activity (if the amplifier is equipped with an IQ-PIP2 module, and
connected to an IQ Loop).
|
| Power Indicator: Blue LED indicates amplifier has been
turned on and AC power is available. The LED will flash when the AC line
voltage is 15% above or 25% below the nominal rated value. |
| Cooling Vents: Front-to-rear forced airflow. |
| Power Switch: Push-on / push-off switch. |
Back Panel Controls and Connectors
|
|
Power Cord Connector: Standard 15 amp IEC inlet.
Voltage is indicated above IEC inlet.
|
|
Reset Switch: Resets the circuit breaker that protects
the power supply.
|
|
Speaker Connectors: One four-pole touch-proof terminal
strip. Accepts up to 10 AWG terminal forks.
|
|
Input Connectors: Balaced 3-pin terminal block
connectors, one per channel, on the standard PIP2-BBY module.
|
|
Channel Level Control: One 21-position detented rotary
attenuator per channel, ranging from minus infinity (–70 dB) to 0 dB
gain.
|
|
Mode Switch: Two-position switch is used to select the
amplifier’s mode of operation: Dual or Bridge-Mono.
|
|
Highpass Filter: One 3-position switch per channel
selects between OFF, 35Hz and 70Hz 3rd-order filters.
|
|
“Y” Input Switch:
When set to ON, this switch
parallels the input signals of the two channels, for use when the input
signal is mono. Also can be used to daisy-chain the signal to another
amplifier.
|
| Ventilation Grille: Front-to-rear forced airflow. |
Options
|
|
PIP2 modules, including the PIP-Lite, PIP-USP3, and PIP-USP3/CN.
|
Protection Systems
|
|
Thermal Level Control (TLC): If an amplifier channel
starts to overheat, the TLC system will engage the input compressor. By
compressing the input, the amplifier will not generate as much heat and
will have a chance to cool down.
|
| Fault: The amplifier will light the Fault LED if the
amplifier output stage stops operating. |
| AC Under/Over Voltage Protection: If the AC line
voltage drops below 25% or rises above 15% of the nominal operating
voltage of the amplifier, the amplifier’s power supply turns off and the
blue Power LED flashes. The amplifier will turn back on when the AC line
voltage returns to safe operating levels. |
| Circuit Breaker: This breaker protects the amplifier
from excessive AC current draw. |
| DC Output Servo: The output servo circuit protects your
drivers by eliminating DC offset, even in the presence of very large
asymmetrical signals. |
| Inrush Limiting: A soft-start circuit in the power
supply minimizes the amplifier’s current draw during power-on. |
| Variable-speed Fan: Two continuously variable speed
fans direct the airflow through the amplifier for cooling. |
