5.3.1 INPUT TAB
The INPUT TAB provides the following configuration parameters for each amplifier input channel:

• Input name
• Mono/Stereo selection
• Input sensitivity
• High-pass filter
• Gain trim
• Five band equalization

The INPUT TAB also enables input signals to be mixed and routed to specific amplifier zones. The mix function enables any amplifier input, including stereo or split mono S/PDIF inputs, to be grouped with any other input or inputs to create multiple predefined mixes.

1. Note: The number of individual mixes possible is equal to the number of amplifier analogue inputs.
2. Note: Mix inputs are muted by default with their level adjustment sliders set to zero.

Mix operations take place following high-pass filter, input equalization and mono/stereo selection.
DIAGRAMS 5B, 5C and 5D illustrate the INPUT TAB, INPUT EQ and INPUT MIX displays.

5.3.2 ZONE TAB
The ZONE TAB enables installation zones to be defined and named, and provides access to further sub-menus.

• Zones might be bar or restaurant areas for example, or different rooms in a home. For all Zone Tab menus, the installation zone under configuration is selected by highlighting one of the zone identifiers (A, B, C or D) at the top of the display.
  DIAGRAM 5E AND 5F illustrates the ZONE TAB and SOURCE Menu displays.

  • The Source menu enables inputs to be assigned to zones and INPUT PRIORITY or INPUT DUCKING to be configured. The INPUT PRIORITY function enables an alternative input to replace and mute the input primarily routed to the zone under configuration when the alternative input exceeds a preset level.

• The INPUT DUCKING function enables an alternative input to replace and attenuate the input primarily routed to the zone under configuration when the alternative input exceeds a preset level.
  Note: Input Priority and Input Ducking parameters can be either set to default values or their Threshold, Attack, Hold and Release values set as required. Input Priority can also be set to ignore the volume level set for the specified zone and take a specific override volume.

• The VOLUME MENU allows minimum and maximum zone volume limits to be set, and enables external GPIO volume control to be applied to individual zones. The GPIO configuration menu can be found under the SETTINGS TAB, and notes on connecting an external volume control via the GPIO interface can be found in Section 5.5 of this manual.
  Note: If an amplifier is controlled via a third-party control system API, volume level limits set via the Input Tab will not apply.

• The RESTRICTIONS menu enables zone inputs or input mixes to be restricted from routing to particular zones.
  Note: Routing restrictions cannot be applied to priority zone inputs.
  Note: If an amplifier is controlled via a third-party control system API, input routing restrictions set via the Input Tab will not apply.

• The COMPRESSOR option enables default or custom signal compression to be applied to individual zones.
  Note: Compression can be useful to reduce the volume difference between loud and quiet audio material. The lower the compression threshold is set, the more the difference between loud and soft will be reduced. The overall zone volume may need to be increased when compression is used. The default compression parameters are appropriate for most installations.

5.3.3 OUTPUT TAB
The OUTPUT TAB enables amplifier outputs to be named, linked to zones, and provides access to DELAY, EQUALIZER and SPEAKER PRESET menus.

• DIAGRAM 5G illustrates the OUTPUT TAB display.

• For all OUTPUT TAB menus, the amplifier output under configuration is selected by highlighting one of the output identifiers (1, 2, 3 or 4) at the top of the display.
  Note: The number of individual outputs available for configuration will depend on the amplifier model and the input, zone and output mode configuration.

• The ROUTING menu enables zones to be assigned to amplifier outputs.
  Note: Routing for zones specified as stereo will automatically offer three output options: left channel, right channel or summed mono. The summed mono signal can potentially be used to drive a mono subwoofer.

• The DELAY menu enables delay to be applied to individual amplifier outputs.

• The EQUALIZER menu enables parametric equalization to be applied to individual amplifier outputs. Equalizer settings configured for one amplifier output can be copied and applied to other outputs.

• The SPEAKER PRESET menu enables a set of speaker parameters to be adjusted, and preset configurations to be created, exported, imported or cleared.

  • Speaker Presets can be simply applied to the selected amplifier output or imported, chosen from a library, exported or cleared.
    The preset configurations can include any or all of the parameters described in Section 5.3.4 and can be locked to prevent inadvertent modification. DIAGRAMS 5H to 5J illustrate the application of speaker presets.

  • Speaker Preset data provided by third parties for use with specific speakers can be imported and applied to amplifier outputs. To import speaker preset parameters follow the steps described below and illustrated in the diagrams.

1. Select either the IMPORT PRESET FROM LIBRARY or SELECT PRESET FROM FILE option from the SPEAKER PRESET menu. If no import option is visible, select CLEAR to delete any existing speaker preset data.
   Note: The SELECT PRESET FROM LIBRARY option will be unavailable if no speaker preset libraries have been created. Speaker preset library creation and management is described in Section 5.3.5.

2. Select the appropriate ‘.zcp’ format speaker preset data file to import from either a Library or a computer folder. The preset data will be applied to the selected amplifier output as soon as the file import is complete.

3. If the Speaker Preset data requires modification it can be customized by selecting the CUSTOMIZE PRESET option.
   Note: If an imported Speaker Preset data file includes locked parameters, they will be unavailable for modification.

5.3.4 SPEAKER PRESET MENU PARAMETERS

• The CROSSOVER & GAIN preset menu enables high or low-pass crossover filters and gain adjustment to be applied to individual amplifier outputs.

• The SPEAKER EQ preset menu enables parametric equalization to be applied to individual amplifier outputs.

• The FIR preset menu enables FIR (Finite Impulse Response) based equalization filter coefficients generated by external speaker measurement software to be imported and applied to individual amplifier outputs.
  Note: FIR coefficient files in either .csv or .txt format can be imported.

• The DRIVER ALIGNMENT preset menu enables delay to be applied to individual amplifier outputs.

• The POLARITY preset menu enables the polarity of individual amplifier outputs to be reversed.

• The LIMITER preset menu enables signal limiting to be engaged or bypassed on individual amplifier outputs.
  CLIP limiting, PEAK limiting and RMS limiting can be individually or collectively engaged. The Clip limiting function offers Fast and Normal response time options. The Peak limiting function can be set to either Automatic or Manual parameter values. The RMS Limiter has default parameter values that can be adjusted but has no automatic option.
  Note: It is strongly advised that if an amplifier is driving low impedance loads (<4Ω): the Clip Limiter should be engaged and set to Fast.
  Note: In automatic mode: the peak limiter parameters adjust automatically in response to Crossover & Gain high-pass filter settings.

• The OUTPUT MODE preset menu enables individual amplifier outputs to be switched off or configured for Lo-Z or Hi-Z modes. In Hi-Z modes, a high-pass filter can also be configured and applied to the output. The number of outputs available will depend on the amplifier model, input setup and zone setup. For example, a two output amplifier will have two outputs available if Lo-Z mode is selected but only one output available if Hi-Z mode is selected.

Note: Use of a high-pass filter with Hi-Z mode loudspeakers is useful to avoid the possibility of distortion caused by low frequency line transformer saturation. Begin with the default filter setting of 70Hz. If low frequency distortion is still audible, increase the frequency setting one step at a time until the distortion is no longer audible.

5.3.5 SETTINGS TAB
The SETTINGS TAB enables miscellaneous amplifier settings to be configured and installation data to be recorded. The Settings Tab provides access to further sub-menus. Diagram 5L illustrates the SETTINGS TAB.

• The SYSTEM INFORMATION menu provides text fields for the recording of installation data.
• The DEVICE menu records amplifier specific information such as the model number and firmware version. A firmware update routine and identifier button can also be found under the Device menu. Diagram 5M illustrates this FIRMWARE UPDATE button.
• The EXTERNAL DEVICES menu enables control panels to be paired with an amplifier and configured. Each individual amplifier zone to be controlled will require its own control device.
• The BACKUP & RESTORE menu enables amplifier configuration data to be downloaded to an external archive, and enables pre- viously saved configuration files to be uploaded and adopted by the currently connected amplifier.
• The SPEAKER LIBRARY menu enables management of speaker preset libraries. Existing libraries of speaker preset files (.zcl) can be created or imported, and existing libraries edited or fully deleted. Diagrams 5N & O illustrate the creation and management of speaker preset libraries.
• The SECURITY menu enables a password to be set in order to protect against unauthorized access to the Origin PRO amplifier web app.

Password protection is particularly important when an amplifier is connected to a wired network, as the WiFi password is no longer required to gain access to Origin PRO amplifier web app.*
*NOTE: It is recommended that your Origin PRO amplifier web app password is different from the amplifier’s Wi-Fi Access Password.

  The Power Management menu also offers timed Standby and Mute functions.

• The OUTPUT ROUTING menu enables specified inputs or zones to be routed to the amplifier S/PDIF outputs. The output level can also be adjusted.
  Any zone or input can be routed to either digital output, including inputs not actively assigned to a zone. Primary or priority input status is immaterial. The specified input is always routed to the specified output to be available for use by downstream devices.
  Note: The digital output function is especially useful when amplifiers are to be daisy chained and a specific input; a central paging mic, for example, is required to be routed to multiple amplifiers.

• The GPIO menu enables configuration of the multi-purpose GPIO interface pins.

• The LAN menu enables configuration and reset of the wired network options and parameters.

• The WIFI menu enables configuration and reset of the wireless network options and parameters.

5.4 SETUP AND SIGNAL ROUTING
Thanks to their network based configuration features, Origin PRO amplifiers offer considerable versatility in terms of sources, signal routing, installation zones and output modes.
Inputs can be freely assigned to installation zones, and those zones assigned freely to the available amplifier outputs in either Lo-Z or Hi-Z modes. This versatility enables, for example, one amplifier simultaneously to drive both Lo-Z and Hi-Z speakers, or for different inputs to be routed to different output zones.
The following paragraphs describe and illustrate the recommended procedure for configuring input, zone and output routing.
A general signal flow schematic is also illustrated in DIAGRAM 5O.
DIAGRAM 5O
Signal Flow Schematic (four output amplifier)

5.4.1 INPUT SETUP
Open the configuration Dashboard and select the Input Tab. The Input Tab was shown previously in DIAGRAM 5B.

• To edit default input names simply select and type in the Input Name field.

• Define a mono or stereo input by selecting the appropriate option. Defining a stereo input will reduce the total number of discrete inputs available.

• Select an input sensitivity option from the drop-down menu: +14dB, +4dB, -10dB and ‘microphone’ options are available.

  • Generally, the +14dB or +4dB options are appropriate for ‘professional audio’ source hardware with balanced outputs, while the -10dB option is more appropriate for ‘consumer audio’ source hardware with unbalanced outputs.
  • The ‘microphone’ option provides the significantly greater sensitivity required for microphones.
    NOTE: Only dynamic microphones are suitable for connection. Phantom power for condenser microphones is not provided.

• If necessary, adjust the input gain using the slider or up/down icons. Gain adjustment is intended to be used for fine output level adjustment following initial use.

5.4.2 ZONE SETUP & ROUTING
Open the configuration Dashboard and select the Zone Tab. The Zone Tab was shown previously in DIAGRAM 5E.

• Select the zone to be configured. The number of zones available and their channel format (stereo or mono) will depend on the amplifier model, input setup and output mode (Lo-Z or Hi-Z).

For example, a two output amplifier can have the following zone configurations:

• 1 x stereo Lo-Z zone
• 2 x mono Lo-Z zones
• 1 x mono Hi-Z zone

A four output amplifier can have the following zones configured:

• 2 x stereo Lo-Z zones
• 4 x mono Lo-Z zones
• 2 x mono Hi-Z zone
• 1 x mono Hi-Z zone + 1 x stereo Lo-Z zone
• 1 x mono Hi-Z zone + 2 x mono Lo-Z zones

1. Note: When configured in Hi-Z mode Origin PRO amplifiers operate in ‘bridged’ mode where the output of two channels is combined. This means that the number of output channels available in Hi-Z mode is half that available in Lo-Z mode.
2. Note: Mono signals might be mono at source, created though combining the left and right channels of a stereo signal (summed mono) or treating the left and right channels of a stereo signal independently (split mono).

• Name zones by typing in the Zone Name field.
• Adjust the zone volume if required by using the slider.
• Define a mono or stereo zone by selecting the appropriate option. Defining a stereo zone will reduce the total number of further zones available.
• Specify an input for the zone by selecting from the drop-down menu. Selecting a stereo input for a mono zone will automatically sum the stereo channels to mono.

5.5 GPIO SETUP AND CONNECTION
Origin PRO amplifiers provide a GPIO socket that enables remote control of volume, standby, mute and trigger functions. The GPIO connector pin functions are described in the GPIO Settings menu illustrated in DIAGRAM 5P. The connection of GPIO based remote volume control and standby/mute are illustrated in DIAGRAM 5Q and DIAGRAM 5R respectively.

1. Note: The GPIO connector must not be used for any unintended purpose. Amplifier damage may result from incorrect use of GPIO.
2. Note: Shielded cable must be used when connecting standby switches and potentiometers via GPIO.
3. Note: GPIO Pin 8 has a low output impedance and is able to supply a maximum current of 10mA.
4. Note: GPIO Pin 1 and Pin 3 both offer ground connections: Pin 1 is connected directly to the amplifier chassis.
   Pin 3 is connected to the chassis via a 220 Ohm resistor. The ‘soft ground’ connection of Pin 3 is potentially useful for managing ground loops that may cause audible hum.

Origin PRO amplifiers rear panel connections.
Note: Two output amplifier model connection sockets differ only in the deletion of channel 3 and channel 4 output connectors.

6.1 MAINS POWER CONNECTION
Origin PRO amplifiers incorporate a power factor corrected universal power supply and can be used with mains input voltage from 100V AC to 240V AC, 50/60Hz. Use the mains cable supplied with the amplifier.
These 2 RU amplifiers incorporate a front panel mounted power button. Press the button once to switch the amplifier on or off.
Ensure that all signal, GPIO and output connections are made before connecting the amplifier to mains power.
6.2 INPUT CONNECTION
All Origin PRO amplifiers models provide four balanced or unbalanced analog audio inputs and a stereo S/PDIF digital audio input.
Any input channel can be routed to any output channel. Input routing options can be configured via the Origin PRO amplifier web app Input Tab. See Section 5.3.1 of this manual.

• ANALOG INPUTS
  Origin PRO amplifiers analog inputs are of line level format with a default input sensitivity of +4dBu (full output voltage swing/ sensitivity) in all output modes. Input signal levels up to +24dBu can be handled without input clipping. Input sensitivity options can be set via the amplifier network interface. See Section 5 of this manual.
  Balanced input connections to the amplifiers are made via male ‘Euro Block’ connectors. Connecting cables to the supplied female input connectors is illustrated in DIAGRAM 6B.
  Unbalanced input connections to the amplifiers are made via RCA phono sockets connected in parallel with the balanced inputs.

• DIGITAL OUTPUTS
  Origin PRO amplifiers’ S/PDIF stereo digital audio output connections are made via a single RCA Phono socket. The S/PDIF output signal can be routed from any input or zone and is intended to be used for daisy-chaining Origin PRO amplifiers.

1. NOTE: See the Output Routing paragraphs of Section 5.3.3 for more information on Digital Output configuration.

2. NOTE: 75Ω RCA Phono cables specifically intended for digital audio should always be used for S/PDIF connections.
   Standard Phono cables can be used but may not result in optimal performance.

3. NOTE: The S/PDIF output level is by default set at -10dB to reduce the possibility of downstream input clipping.

6. 3 OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Output connections from the amplifiers are achieved via male ‘Euro Block’ connectors. Ensure that speaker connection polarity is correct throughout the installation:

• In the case of Lo-Z speaker connections, positive (+) amplifier terminals should always be connected to positive speaker terminals and negative (–) amplifier terminals always connected to negative speaker terminals.
• In the case of Hi-Z speaker connections, the two speaker cable conductors should be connected between the positive (+) terminal of Output 1 and the negative terminal (-) of Output 2, and likewise for Outputs 3 and 4.

Output mode options (Lo-Z or Hi-Z) can be configured via the Origin PRO amplifier web app Input Tab.
See SECTION 5 of this manual.
Connecting cables to the supplied female output connector is illustrated in DIAGRAM 6C.
6.4 GPIO CONNECTIONS

Uninterruptible Power Supply – A power supply used to provide alternating current power to a load for some period of time in the event of a power failure.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you have a problem, try isolating it first. For example, if there is no sound, try replacing the source with another audio source to see if you get sound. If it does work, then the problem is with the first source or the cables connecting them. If it doesn’t work, then move forwards to identify if the problem exists within the amplifier, speakers, or the cables.

both the amplifier and the television/computer/CD player/etc.
No Sound| Make sure the proper source is selected on the amplifier or receiver.
No Sound| Check the cord connecting the amplifier with the source. The cord may be damaged or plugged into the wrong input or output.
No Sound| Check the wires connecting the amplifier with the speakers. Make sure they’re connected properly and not damaged in any way.
Poor Sound Quality| If you hear something like static, or the sound is cutting in and out, check the audio cables. If the problem increases when a cable is being moved, then the cable is most likely faulty or not connected properly.
Poor Sound Quality| Today’s audio systems may have several places to adjust the volume, for example your MP3 player may have a volume control, just as your amplifier has one. Check to be certain that the volume isn’t turned up past 80% on any device.
Poor Sound Quality| Try changing sources to be certain that the selection you’ve chosen is a good quality recording.
