INTRODUCTION

IPA 424 T and IPA 412 T are DSP-based 4-channel installation amplifiers in 19” rack format specially developed for professional audio installations. They have integrated transformers per channel and offer connections for 100 V/70 V and Low-Z systems up to 4  Ohm. For optimal energy efficiency, the devices have auto standby switches. A slot for optional expansion cards enables the IPA amplifier, including all internal DSP parameters to be controlled via Ethernet and, thanks to the Dante AoIP connectivity, to be integrated into larger installation networks. The IPA series can also interact with remote units and paging microphones from LD Systems via a REMOTE audio and control bus based on a CAN (Controller Area Network) architecture. This combination of powerful functions makes the IPA series the best choice for permanent installation.

CONNECTIONS, CONTROLS AND DISPLAY ELEMENTS

Note: The connections, controls and display elements for both models IPA 424 T and IPA 412 T are identical.

1. 1.  **POWER CONNECTOR**  

   IEC power connector for the device’s power supply. A suitable power cable is provided.

2. FUSE
   Fuse holder for 250 V miniature fuses (5 × 20 mm). CAUTION: Only replace the fuse with a fuse of the same type (T10AL/100-120V; T5AL/220-240V). See information on the housing. If the fuse blows repeatedly, please contact an authorised service centre.

3. ON / OFF
   Rocker switch to turn the device on and off.
   INPUT SECTION

4. IN1 – IN4
   Two 6-pole terminal block connections for input channels 1 and 2 or 3 and 4. Pins +, – and G form the balanced line input of the corresponding channel; suitable terminal blocks are included in the packaging.

5. BRG / ST / PAR
   3-way switch to adjust the channel mode.
   BRG (Bridge mode): The power amplifiers of channels 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 are combined to provide more powerful mono power amplifiers. If the bridge mode is activated for channels 1 and 2, IN1 serves as a line input, and the volume is set using level control CH1. Line input IN2 and level control CH2 are deactivated. If the bridge mode is activated for channels 3 and 4, IN3 serves as a line input, and the volume is set using level control CH3. Line input IN4 and level control CH4 are deactivated.
   Bridge operation is only available to drive low-impedance loudspeakers. When wiring the cables, ensure that the power amplifiers are correctly assigned and that the impedance of the connected loudspeaker or loudspeaker system is at least 8 Ohm! The configuration for channel 1/2 in bridge operation is: CH1 4OHM = positive pole, CH2 4OHM = negative pole.
   The configuration for channel 3/4 in bridge operation is: CH3 4OHM = positive pole, CH4 4OHM = negative pole.
   Caution: For safety reasons, bridge mode BRG and HI-Z mode cannot be activated at the same time. As soon as the 3-way switch is set to BRG and the corresponding DIP switch to HI-Z, an internal switching process prevents both operating modes from activating simultaneously. HI-Z mode has priority and is activated, while BRG bridge mode remains deactivated or is disabled. This state is signaled by the corresponding display field BRIDGE (No. 21) on the front panel flashing fast.
   ST (stereo mode): In stereo mode, each individual line input is assigned to the corresponding speaker output, which means a signal that is present at line input IN1 is routed to speaker output CH1 and a signal that is present at line input IN2 is routed to speaker output CH2. The same also applies to channels 3 and 4. The corresponding level controls work independently of each other.
   PAR (Parallel Mode): In parallel mode, a signal present at line input IN1 is routed to speaker outputs CH1 and CH2, while line input IN2 is deactivated. Level controls CH1 and CH2 are used to separately set the volume for the corresponding amplifier channel. A signal present at line input IN3 is routed to speaker outputs CH3 and CH4, while line input IN4 is deactivated. Level controls CH3 and CH4 are used to set the volume separately for the corresponding amplifier channel.

6. CLIP IN1 – IN4
   The clip LED of the corresponding channel is lit when the level of the input signal reaches -1dBFS and the channel is therefore operated at the distortion limit. Reduce the output level of the corresponding source device to avoid signal distortion.

7. LEVEL CONTROL CH1 – CH4
   Level control for the individual adjustment of the volume of speaker outputs CH1 to CH4 in stereo and parallel channel modes. As soon as the bridge mode (BRG) is activated, the level controls CH2 and CH4 have no function.

8. REMOTE IN / OUT
   RJ45 connections for LD Systems REMOTE bus accessories. The accessories are connected in series to the REMOTE IN. An RJ45 bus terminating plug is included in the package. This should be connected to REMOTE OUT as standard and, under normal circumstances, not be removed from this socket. An RJ45 bus terminating plug should also be connected to the REMOTE IN of the last REMOTE bus accessory in the chain of accessory devices. For more information on the REMOTE bus connections, see the operating instructions for the remote accessories.

9. REMOTE ON / OFF
   Using the four DIP switches, the audio signal present at the REMOTE IN can be individually routed to the amplifier channels CH1 to CH4 (ON = function activated, OFF = function deactivated, DIP switch 1 = CH1, DIP switch 2 = CH2, etc). If an audio signal is present at the REMOTE IN input when the function is activated, the audio signal present at the line input of the corresponding channel is automatically muted. In this case, REMOTE IN has priority over all other line inputs.

10. SERVICE
    The micro USB interface is reserved for service purposes. Do not try to create a connection to an external device.
    OUTPUT SECTION

11. SPEAKER OUTPUTS CH1 – CH4
    Four 4-pole terminal block connectors CH1 to CH4 for the connection of speakers in the previously selected operating mode (100 V, 70 V, 4 Ohm). You can find the pin assignment corresponding to the speaker system on the label between terminal block connections. The packaging includes suitable terminal blocks. Within DIP switch block no.12, use DIP switches 1 and 2 to select the desired operating mode.

12. HI-Z / LOW-Z AND PRESET

13. SYSTEM SETTINGS AND RESET
    DIP SWITCH 1 STANDBY
    To activate the automatic standby function, move DIP switch 1 to the ON position. If the standby switch is activated, the amplifier will automatically switch to standby mode (energy consumption reduction) after approximately 20 minutes of no audio signal. If there is an audio signal again, standby mode automatically ends and the amplifier is ready for operation again after about three seconds; the standby LED flashes white during this time. The STANDBY LED on the front of the device is white during normal operation and red when standby mode is activated. Standby mode can also be manually terminated by pressing the standby button on the front of the amplifier.
    DIP SWITCH 2 SW RESET (SOFTWARE RESET)
    In order to completely restore the factory settings and to avoid volume jumps after the start-up process, set all DIP switches of the device to the OFF position, the 3-way switch for setting the channel mode to ST (stereo) and turn level controls CH1 to CH4 fully counter-clockwise -∞ before starting the software reset. Then carry out the software reset step by step:
    A. Activate the standby mode of the device (press standby button no. 16) and wait until the STANDBY indicator LED lights up red continuously.Then switch the device off (switch number 3 on the back of the device) and wait until the LED display goes out completely.
    B. Move the DIP switch 2 SW RESET to the ON position.
    C. Switch the device on again and wait until the standby LED on the front is permanently white (to abort the reset process now move DIP switch 2 SW RESET to the OFF position).
    D. Activate the standby mode of the device and wait until the STANDBY indicator LED lights up red continuously. Then switch the device off and wait until the LED display goes out completely.
    E. Move DIP switch 2 SW RESET to the OFF position.
    F. Switch the device on; the software is now reset. During the reset process, the device is started fully and then shutdown again. The device is then restarted. During the restart, the successful reset is reported such that display fields SIG and BRIDGE on the front of the device light up briefly one after the other.
    Do not switch off the amplifier during the phase under point F and do not change any settings!
    DIP SWITCH 3 REM MODE (REMOTE MODE)
    DIP switch 3 REM MODE is reserved for the integration of future LD Systems remote bus accessories. More detailed information can be found in the user manual of the additional remote bus accessories. The DIP switch currently has no function.
    DIP SWITCH 4 REM LOCK (REMOTE LOCK)
    Move DIP switch 4 to the ON position to lock all of the device’s control elements (level control, DIP switch, switch for channel mode and STANDBY button), the REM LOCK LED display permanently lights up. To unlock the control elements, move the DIP switch to the OFF position. The display LED goes out, provided that no changes have been made to the control elements on the back or value changes have been made using the Ethernet control.

14. REMOTE LOCK LED
    The extended access to all internal DSP settings and the analog input amplification can take place independently of the control elements on the back using an optionally available Ethernet expansion card. The following operating states are reported by the LED REMOTE LOCK display:

/
| REM LOCK blinks slowly (approx. 2 Hz)| The DSP settings are changed using the Ethernet control. The setting changes cannot be undone using the control elements on the back In order to end this state, perform a software reset (see point 13,
DIP switch 2).| /
| REM LOCK blinks quickly (approx. 8Hz)| During the Remote Lock ON state, changes were made to the control elements on the back or volume-relevant settings were changed using the Ethernet control. In order to avoid volume jumps when deactivating the Remote Lock function (Remote Lock OFF), the control elements on the back remain locked. In order to terminate this state, perform a software reset (see point 13, DIP switch 2).| All control elements on the back
| REM LOCK permanently lit| The remote lock function is activated (see point 13, DIP switch 4 ON).| All control elements on the front and
