DPA Series — DPA80/DPA100 Operating Instructions Page 19taxOperating Your Amplifier: Rear Panel Sockets and Switches1: Fan outlet: The variable speed fans suck air in through the front vents and out through theback of the amplifier. Please see maintenance on page 62 for recommendations on how toclean this and the front foam sections.2: Channel A output Speakon socket: Normal output is on pins 1+ hot, 1- cold. Channel B’soutput is also wired to this socket to enable a single NL4 to provide both channels and tofacilitate easier wiring in bridged mode. Channel B is wired pins 2+ hot, 2- cold. Similarlychannel C’s output Speakon socket carries Channel D’s output. Check the table on the rearpanel for details.3: Input XLR sockets: Connect signal inputs to these sockets, wired pin 2 hot, 3 cold, 1ground. For sensitivity and impedance of these inputs, please see the specifications on page63. Inputs C & D may also be switched to AES digital inputs, each carrying a stereo AESstream — channels A&B on socket C, channels C & D on socket D. This arrangement allowsan analogue stereo source to remain connected to sockets A & B for fallback purposes. Toselect AES inputs please see the section on page 37.4: Auxiliary output XLR sockets: These carry the four additional channels of separate DSPprocessing — they are NOT just link outputs or a copy of the power amplifier channel’sprocessed audio — they are fully independent.5: Audio network connections 1: Four additional inputs can be added to the available inputmatrix via the optional Dante network card. This will also add four network audio outputs,which can be chosen (in banks of four) from a variety of processing points within theamplifier’s DSP structure. For more on this feature see the block diagram on page 21 andset-up information from page 41.6: Ethernet control port: Your amplifier may be remotely controlled by connecting it to acomputer via this standard Ethernet port connection. Please see the section starting on page50 for how to use this feature. HINT: You can quickly check the amplifier’s IP address bypressing ENTER + NEXT.7: GPIO Port: Your amplifier has a pair of general purpose logic level input and outputs thatcan be configured to recall memories, put the amplifier in standby, mute and control levels,and also provide feedback about status.8: RS485 Port: Your amplifier may also be controlled via an RS485 connection, and this portmay also be used to relay control data from the Ethernet port or the front panel USB port toconnect to further devices. Please see the remote control section on page 50 for moreinformation.1 The audio network card is an option and may not be fitted to your amplifier.All vents on front and rear of unit must not be obstructed.Tous les passages sur avant et arrière de l'unité ne doivent pas être obstrués.SERIAL NO.OUTPUTClass 3 Wiringon Outputs1 - AUDIO NETWORK - 2CONTROLGPIO PORT1 2 3 4 5 6AUX 4 AUX 3 AUX 2 AUX 11: 0V2/3: IN 1&24/5: OUT 1&26: +5VRS485AESA &BAESC &DOUTPUTOUTPUTOUTPUT OUTPUT WIRINGCONNECTORSBR IDGE1+1-2+2-PIN NUMBERDESIGNED ANDMANUFACTUREDIN ENGLANDbyXTA Electronics Ltd.andMC Audio2MAINS SUPPLY1 2345678
