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.

    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.

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.

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
If any Origin PRO amplifier’s GPIO functionality is required, cables will need to be connected to the supplied GPIO connector.
Connecting cables to the GPIO connector is illustrated in DIAGRAM 6D.

Switchboards are generally accessible from the rear as well as from the front and are not intended to be installed in cabinets. Transfer Switch – An automatic or nonautomatic device for transferring one or more load conductor connections from one power source to another.
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.

Problem Possible Cause
No Sound The volume may be turned down or muted. Check the volume settings on

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.

RETURN PROCESS

Before making any return attempts, it is required that you first contact Origin PRO. Return product to Origin PRO or your dealer, either in person or by mail. It’s preferable if the product is returned in the original packaging. If this is not possible, the customer is responsible for insuring the shipment for the full value of the product. This warranty is in lieu of all other expressed or implied warranties. Some states do not allow limitations on implied warranties, so this may not apply depending on the customer’s location. (For more information, see Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.)
