Standby, Power Save Mode And Powering Down Your Air System; Other Air Features - Dynaudio AIR 15 Reference Manual

Standby, Power Save
mode and powering
down your AIR system
The amplifier in an AIR monitor can detect whether or
not there is a signal on the analog or digital inputs.
If no input has been detected for more than half an hour
(this is the default value), all monitors in a network will
go to Standby mode. They will recover from Standby
mode automatically when a signal is received. The
power up time from Standby is a few hundred millisec-
onds.
If no input signal is detected for 2.5 hours (again, this
is a default value), the system will go into Power Save
mode. Any user intervention – such as touching the
Master Volume dial on the AIR Remote or touching the
Master monitor display – will recover the system from
Standby mode.
You can change the Standby mode and Power Save
mode activation times using the Utility menu on an AIR
Master unit or using the AIR Control software – see
"Preferences page" on page 76.

Activating Power Save mode manually
In general, you should activate Power Save mode in-
stead of powering your AIR system down using the
main switches.
To activate Power Save mode manually, press and
►
hold the Exit button on the System controller.
To wake your AIR system from Power Save mode,
►
press any button on the System controller.
Your AIR system will automatically go into Power Save
mode after 2.5 hours by default.
Powering down
If you need to switch the system off using the mains
switches on the rear panels of your AIR monitors, make
sure to turn down the global volume first.
Switch Slave monitors off before switching of Master
monitors.

Other AIR features

High-efficiency compact switched-
mode power supply (SMPS)
For saving overhead power consumption and to insure
optimal performance, every AIR monitor is equipped
with a high-efficiency compact switched-mode Power
Supply (SMPS). Using switched technology both in am-
plifiers and power supply can reduce the heat sink size
to about a third of the size it would be with regular pow-
er supply and class AB amplifiers.
