Operation Controls and Functions

5.1 Front Panel

controlled through Web GUI or API command. For example, when selecting the “On” option for “DANTE Identification” on the System page of the Web GUI, the ID (show me) LED on the front panel will flash, so that you can find the corresponding machine in the system.
3| LINE/DANTE LED| Input signal source indicators. When the DANTE or LINE IN port is selected as the signal input channel, the corresponding green LINE/DANTE LED is on.
Note: The DANTE port is the signal input channel by default.
4| VOL LED| The main audio volume of the system is displayed in five green segments, with each segment corresponding to 20% of the volume. 50% of the main audio volume is displayed by default after system initialization.
Note: The audio volume can be controlled through Web GUI or API command.
5| SIGNAL L/R LEDs| Left and right channel signal indicators of the stereo audio. When there is stereo audio signal, the LEDs will be on.
6| PROTECT LED| When the machine is protected by overtemperature, overcurrent or overvoltage, the PROTECT LED is on.

5.2 Rear Panel

192.168.0.200.
2| RS-232/TRG port| RS-232: Serial control port, used for RS-232 signal pass- through or controlling this product via RS-232 commands.
TRG: T trigger signal input port, effective at high level. When this port is connected to a 5V/12V trigger voltage, the amplifier will be mute. After trigger is disconnected, the amplifier can output audio normally.
