The Q-SYS Amp Output component can have one to eight inputs/outputs depending on the amplifier model and its configuration in Q-SYS
Designer. The desired configuration is selected in the Q-SYS Designer Properties menu for the amplifier. When the amplifier's output
configuration is changed, all of the outputs are placed in a "mute all" state. You must unmute all in the Amp Output component's control panel
or on the amplifier's front panel.
Screens
STATUS Screen
Refer to Figure 16
1. DEVICE – the hostname (network name) of the amplifier. A default name is
given at the factory, similar to the example. You may change the name in the
Q-SYS Configurator.
2. DESIGN – the name of the Q-SYS design currently running on the amplifier. The
amplifier must be contained in a running design to operate.
3. STATUS – displays the current status of the amplifier both in text and color. The
following is a list of possible status colors, and some example conditions.
• OK – green – audio is good, hardware is good.
• Compromised – orange – audio is good but a redundancy mechanism is active (one
LAN down but the other is still up) or a non-fatal hardware problem exists (fan speed,
high temperature, low AC voltage, output load, amplifier is in Protect mode, etc.)
• Fault – red – audio is not passing, or hardware is malfunctioning or mis-configured (amplifier power off, audio streams broken, amplifier fault,
loudspeaker short circuit, etc.)
• Initializing – blue – In the process of initialization, and design start. Audio cannot pass.
4. FIRMWARE – the Q-SYS Designer firmware version installed on the amplifier.
NOTEE: The DPA-Q 4- and 8-channel amplifiers require Version 8.1.0 or later of Q-SYS Designer.
To Update the Amplifier Firmware:
a. Install the version of Q-SYS Designer you want to use on your PC.
b. The amplifier must be connected to Q-LAN and turned on.
c. Open the Q-SYS design containing the amplifier in the Designer version you just installed.
d. Select "Save to Core and Run" from the File menu.
e. The amplifier and any other Q-SYS peripherals in the design are automatically updated.
LAN A / LAN B Screen
Refer to Figure 17
1. IP ADDRESS – a default address is assigned in the factory. You can change this
and the other parameters in Q-SYS Configurator. LAN A is required, and cannot be
turned off.
2. NETMASK – must be the same as the Core's Netmask.
3. GATEWAY – must be the same as the Core's Gateway.
4. LAN B is not required. When connected, the same type of information as LAN A is
displayed.
HEALTH Screen
Refer to Figure 18
1. FAN RPM – varies depending on the temperature.
2. PSU TEMP – varies depending on operating conditions. PSU Temp is monitored
and can automatically put the amp into limiting or shutdown if safe operating
temperatures are exceeded.
3. AC VOLTAGE – AC Mains voltage
4. AC CURRENT – AC mains current drawn by the amplifier.
5. Voltage Rails
• V RAIL 1 = +147VDC +/- 5V typical
• V RAIL 2 = -147VDC +/- 5V typical
