Please use caution and adequate ear protection if listening to content at high volume levels as continued exposure to high sound pressure levels can cause permanent hearing impairment or loss. 12 · PROCISETM Surround Sound Amplifier: PROAMP(I)-7X400 Operations Guide ­ DOC. 6976A Crestron PROAMP(I)-7X400 PROCISETM Surround Sound Amplifier CAUTION: Keep the amplifier unplugged until all the input, network, and speaker wiring is complete. CAUTION: Check the speaker wires for shorts and frayed wiring around the OUTPUT connectors. NOTE: For optimum performance, Crestron recommends the optional CBL-PRO-XLR-2 XLR Balanced Audio Interface Cable Kit (two-foot cable length) or CBL-PRO-XLR-6 Balanced Audio Interface Cable Kit (six-foot cable length) to connect to the PSPHD or other pre-amplifier. Hardware Connections for the PROAMP-7X400 INPUT: From PSPHD Or Other Preamplifier LAN: 10/100 Base-T Ethernet to LAN Or PSPHD NET: To Cresnet Devices POWER: From Line Voltage OUTPUT: To Speakers GROUND: Tie To Preamplifier Ground NETWORK/DIRECT Switch The NETWORK/DIRECT switch is used to select the connection between the amplifier and a PSPHD. Move the switch to the appropriate position for the connection to be used and connect the LAN port as described below: · · DIRECT: If using a direct connection to the PSPHD, connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN port on the amplifier to the LAN port on a PSPHD. NETWORK: If using a network connection to the PSPHD, connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN port on the amplifier to the local area network. When using a network connection, the PSPHD and the amplifier must be on the same subnet. NOTE: Power must be cycled if the switch is moved. For more information, refer to "Pairing" on page 15. Operations Guide ­ DOC. 6976A PROCISETM Surround Sound Amplifier: PROAMP(I)-7X400 · 13 PROCISETM Surround Sound Amplifier Crestron PROAMP(I)-7X400 PROCISE Amplifier Connections Refer to the following diagram to properly connect the PROAMP-7X400 to a PSPHD Surround Sound Processor. Connect a PROAMP-7X400 to a PSPHD Surround Sound Processor NOTE: For optimum performance when connecting a source to a PROCISE amplifier, Crestron recommends the optional CBL-PRO-XLR-2 Balanced Audio Interface Cable Kit (two-foot cable length) or CBL-PRO-XLR-6 Balanced Audio Interface Cable Kit (six-foot cable length). Power Connections When making connections to the PROAMP-7X400, two independent AC feeds are required. 14 · PROCISETM Surround Sound Amplifier: PROAMP(I)-7X400 Operations Guide ­ DOC. 6976A Crestron PROAMP(I)-7X400 Override Mode PROCISETM Surround Sound Amplifier The Override mode turns on all amplifier channels and ignores any commands from a control system or PSPHD (if connected). Use the Override mode to test the amplifier prior to installation in a system. With the amplifier powered on, press the OVERRIDE/SETUP button on the rear of the PROAMP-7X400. The amplifier will be in the Override mode and the associated LED will light. Press OVERRIDE/SETUP to exit the Override mode. 3. Pairing NOTE: Pairing is for use with the PSPHD only. The PROAMP-7X400 can be paired with a PSPHD Surround Sound Processor for control and monitoring of the amplifier. Use the connection type that best fits the application: · DIRECT: Choose DIRECT for a quick installation test without networking or LAN setup. The LAN port of the amplifier connects directly to the LAN port of the PSPHD. The following diagram shows a typical system arrangement where a PSPHD is directly connected to the amplifier. Control System Cresnet PSPHD Ethernet PROAMP To later integrate with a control system program controlling via the LAN, the pairing process must be executed again when the amplifier is installed on a network. The original pairing must be removed and then re-paired. [. . . ] Authorized returns must be shipped freight prepaid to CRESTRON, 6 Volvo Drive, Rockleigh, N.
