Product Introduction

The Mini Digital Amplifier is a compact-size digital amplifier (Class-D) with 3 inputs (2 lines in and 1 balanced mic). It is integrated with powerful functions, including bridge connection, dual-mono, EQ control, microphone mixer, etc.
It has a good application in different places, including classrooms, small meeting rooms, lecture halls, barss, pub,s etc.

1.1. Features

• 2x20Watt@4Ohm as the default amplifier output.
• Bridge connection function. Users can switch the Mini Digital Amplifier to be 1x40Watt@8Ohm by bridge connection.
• Two stereo audio inputs, switchable by button, IR remote & RS232.
• Volume/Bass/Treble controllable by buttons IR remote & RS232.
• MIC port can support balance/unbalance signal, and suppress the external noise effectively.
• Line audio output at 3.5mm jack, with volume controllable.
• Dual-mono function. Users can sum up the stereo audio to two times mono audio.
• MIC mixer function. The microphone will be mixed to the line audio output, and be controlled separately.
• MIC input supports 48V phantom power, dynamic MIC, and wireless MIC.
• Auto noise gate. It keeps detecting the audio and MIC input and will mute the output when there is no input.

System Connection

2.1. Audio Output
2.1.1. Default Output: 2x20Watt@4Ohm
The default output of the amplifier is 2x20Watt@4Ohm, so the user can connect the amplifier output in a regular way. As the picture below:

2.1.2. Bridge Connection: 1x40Watt@8Ohm
The Mini Digital Amplifier has a bridge connection, to double the output power at 1x40Watt@8Ohm. It will sum up the input left channel and input right channel to be mono output, and the power is up to 40Watt.
The bridge connection is:

2.1.3. Dual-mono Output
The Mini Digital Amplifier also has the function of double-mono output. It can sum up the left and right channels, to be the mono audio output. In this way, both of the outputs are showing the same mono audio.
The connection is:

2.2. Microphone Input
The microphone input of Mini Digital Amplifier has three modes, and different modes use different connections, as in the picture below:

2.2.1. 48V Phantom Power Input
When the switch turns to “48V”, the MIC input will provide a 48V phantom power. This is usually used for power supply for condenser microphone, Connection is: “+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative, and “╧” to ground.
Note: In this mode, only the condenser microphone can be connected.

2.2.2. MIC Input
When the switch turns to “MIC”, the microphone input is used for connecting with the dynamic microphones. There are two different connections:

1. Unbalanced connection:
   “╧” connects to ground, and “-” connects to signal.
   “╧” connects to the ground, and “+” connects to the signal.

2. Balanced connection: “+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative, and “╧” connects to ground.

2.2.3. LINE Input
When the switch turns to “LINE”, the microphone input is used for connecting with normal audio or wireless microphone output. There are two different connections:

1. Unbalanced connection:
   “╧” connects to ground, and “-” connects to signal.
   “╧” connects to the ground, and “+” connects to the signal.

2. Balanced connection: “+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative, and “╧” connects to ground.

Panel Control

The buttons provide the control of volume/EQ control and switching. The following content introduces audio switching and EQ control in detail.
3.1. Audio Switching
There are two switchable stereo audio inputs, one 2xRCA input, and one 3.5mm jack input, switchable through the buttons as below:

3.2. Volume/EQ controlling
The line volume and MIC volume can be controlled by the buttons.
The MIC Volume/LINE volume/LINE bass/LINE treble will be selected by the buttons and controlled up/down/mute by the function buttons. Please check the picture below:

For example, to turn up the line volume, you should select the “LINE” first, and then press the button “ ”.

IR Remote Control

Note: The IR remote, the IR receiver, and the battery of the IR remote are all offered for a charge.

System Diagram

RS232 Command

After setting all needed input and output devices according to the system connection introduction, connect the control PC to the RS232 port and then install the RS232 control software (e.g. backlight) into the control PC to send the RS232 command to control the product.
After installing the RS232 control software, please set the parameters of COM number, bound rate, data bit, stop bit, and the parity bit correctly, and then you are able to send the command in the command sending area.
The serial port settings for all RS232 commands are:

Troubleshooting & Maintenance

1. When there is no output audio:
   • Check if there is any signal at the input.
   • Check if there is any signal at the output.
   We can check these by using an oscilloscope or a multimeter. If there is no signal input/output, maybe the input/output cables are broken or the connectors loosen, please change for another cable.
   • Check if the output port number is the same as the controlled one.
   • If not the problem mentioned above, probably there is something broken inside the unit, please send it to the dealer for repair.

2. If the POWER indicator doesn’t work or no respond to any operation, please make sure the power cord connection is good.

3. If the output sound interferes, please make sure the system is grounded well.

4. If the static becomes stronger when connecting the audio connectors, it is probably due to bad grounding, please check the grounding and make sure it is connected well, otherwise, it would damage the converter.

5. If the Mini Digital Amplifier amplifier cannot be controlled by the keys on the front panel, RS232 port, or IR remote, the unit may have already been broken. Please send it to the dealer for repair.
