FCC Required Text

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate, radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a  circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Applications

The following applications are examples of how the EL-IPD-AMP-2CH 2 Channel Audio Amplifier Matrix can be used. For more detailed system design guidelines, see the Design Guide for the ELAN IP Amplifier from www.elancontrolsystems.com.
Combining the EL-IPD-AMP-2CH 2 Channel Audio Amplifier with the EL-IPD-MTX-8CH Multi Zone Audio Matrix with the optional EL-IPD-NAC-EXT Network Audio Card adds an additional audio zone. Multiple EL-IPD-AMP-2CH 2 Channel Audio Amplifiers can be added to a system as more remote audio zones are needed.
NOTE: The amplifier is limited to one input device at a time. The input (Analog, Coax, or Optical) is selected using ELAN Configurator during installation.

Installation

Mount the EL-IPD-AMP-2CH 2 Channel Audio Amplifier in a cabinet by setting it on a sturdy shelf. As with any electronic device the EL-IPD-AMP-2CH generates heat at all times, but considerably more when in use. Ensure clear positive airflow within the cabinet by using fans. Locating the EL-IPD-AMP-2CH in a completely enclosed cabinet is not recommended due to heat build up. Use the included mounting brackets to secure to a wall or other surface if needed .

POWER
The amplifier includes an internal switch mode power supply for use in AC 100-120 / 220-240 V environments.

NETWORK
Connect the amplifier to the LAN for control and audio routing (if used in a Dante configuration). Please review the ELAN IP Amp Design Guide for proper network setup depending on how the amplifier is being used.

AUDIO INPUTS
Two 2 channel PCM digital inputs (1 optical and 1 coax stereo) 2, and one line level analog stereo pair audio inputs are available. When used with other Dante-enabled ELAN amplifiers, the input device is available as an independent source available to any zone in the system.
NOTE: The amplifier is limited to one input device at a time. The input (Analog, Coax, or Optical) is selected using ELAN Configurator during installation. Subwoofer Out Connect a powered subwoofer.

SPEAKER OUTPUTS
CAUTION! ALL SPEAKER WIRE CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE WITH THE CHASSIS POWER OFF
When connecting more than one speaker to a set of terminals, be sure to calculate the impedance values and not exceed the rating for the amplifier.
Connect 4ohm or 8ohm speakers – The amplifier outputs’ default is 4ohms. If connecting 8ohm speakers, the setting must be changed during system configuration. For more detail, see the Design Guide for the ELAN IP Amplifier.

CONFIGURATION

Network Setup FAQs for Dante

What type of Ethernet cable is recommended for Dante?
Cat5e or Cat6 cable is recommended. For purely 100Mbps networks, CAT5 may be used.

Does Dante work with Fiber Optic network cable?
Yes. Because Dante works with standards based networking technology, using fiber is simple. Use a switch that supports fiber connections to send Dante data over a fiber optic cable.

Can Dante operate over a Wi-Fi network?
No. While possible in principle, the practical limitations of current wireless technology (802.11a/b/g/n) render reliable performance unachievable.

Does Dante require any special network infrastructure?/
No, special network infrastructure is not required. Since Dante is based upon universally accepted networking standards, Dante-enabled devices can be connected using off-the-shelf Ethernet switches and cabling.

Does Dante require a dedicated network infrastructure?
No, a dedicated network infrastructure is not required. Dante-enabled devices can happily coexist with other equipment making use of the network.

Does Dante require special switches?
No. But we strongly recommend that Gigabit switches be used due to the clear advantages in performance and scalability. If using a 100Mbps, see the design guide and and integration note for ELAN products.
