User manual ALPINE V12 ACCUCLASS-D SETUP

[. . . ] Firstly, by setting the amplifier ID number (1-8), it allows the optional RACC (RUX-4280 Remote Amplifier Control Center) to identify each amplifier individually and in a specific order. Secondly, it provides a variable turn-on delay that can be used to minimize inrush current in large multi-amp systems, or to eliminate any turn-on "pop". NOTE: If using a RUX-4280 (RACC) with more than 1 AccuClass-D amplifier, be sure to set each amplifier with a different ID Number (1-8). Amplifiers with the same ID will cause the RACC to display "NO AMP. " STEP 9. (9) OUTPUT DISABLE Previously known as "Safe Mode", this feature provides a simple way to safely adjust the all DSP functions with the amplification circuit turned off, eliminating the possibility of speaker damage during setup.

This feature is essentially a high pass filter with a very low frequency range, and is selectable from 15Hz to 50Hz in 5Hz increments. Please make sure that the frequency selected is significantly lower than that of the low pass filter, unless you have a very specific performance goal in mind. To the right is example [2], which illustrates the effect of a subsonic ADJUSTING THE SUBSONIC FILTER · You should be in mode "3" (SUBSONIC) now from the previous step. · Push "ENT" to enter "3".

PHASE AMP SET OUTPUT DISABLE MEMORY T O S T E P 4 Proper configuration of the input setup menu is critical for source signal matching with minimal distortion, while also optimizing the output level relative to other amplifiers in the system. INPUT SELECT (mode 1-1) should be set according to the physical input signal connection being made, either "2ch" for stereo or "1ch" for single/mono channel. INPUT LEVEL (mode 1-2) allows the A/D converter's input to be optimized for the best possible signal clarity and volume range. Setting this overly sensitive or severely clipping the input can result in very high distortion, so it is best to use the clipping indicator as general guide. GAIN FACTOR (mode 1-3) is provided for special cases where additional gain is still required after all other adjustments have been made. While this signal shaping algorithm allows a higher average output level to be reached at lower source volumes, signal alteration may not be desirable in some applications. Therefore, it is recommended to return to this adjustment again later after continuing through the remaining setup steps. SETTING THE INPUT START HERE · Push "MODE" to access "1" (INPUT). · Push "ENT" enter "1". Push "ENT" to enter "1-1" (SELECT). · Toggle to select "1ch" or "2ch".
