3. Connect speakers with the output end of the power amplifier. 4. Connect the power amplifier to a PC or network switch with Cat-5 shielded twisted pair. The Sapphire III (Base) User Interface on the PC can control the amplifier remotely. For further information, please refer to (Sapphire III (Base) User Interface introductions). -
Page 13: Connections
Make sure that the power amplifier is powered off before making any input or output connections. Please use high quality audio cables which can minimize loss of signal integrity. Analog input connection Sapphire III (Base) uses XLR, 1/4" TRS to balance analog input. The polarity and connection of XLR, 1/4" TRS is shown below: XLR-M Pinout 1/4"... - Page 14 The pin diagram is shown below: Pin Position RJ45 T568B Pin Connections Color code (TIA/EIA-568-B) BROWN BROWN / WHITE GREEN BLUE / WHITE BLUE GREEN / WHITE ORANGE ORANGE / WHITE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Sapphire III（Base）Power Amplifier...

Page 15: Sapphire Iii Base User Interface Introductions
Sapphire III Base User Interface Introductions The following interface has been designed for the Sapphire III Base amplifier. This is only a brief introduction of the software that related to connections of the power amplifier. For further information, please refer to introduction of the software. - Page 16 Sapphire III Base User Interface Introductions 3. Master Gain and Channel Gain Master Gain: The Master Gain bar controls the gain of 4 channels simultaneously. The control panel of Master Gain is shown on the right: Gain can be controlled by sliding the button or by inputting a value in the gray box in a range of -80 ~ 0 dB.
- Page 17 Sapphire III Base User Interface Introductions 5. 5 BAND EQ The control panel of 5 BAND EQ is shown on the right: The G value can be modified by dragging the gray dots in the coordinate within a range of -15 ~15dB. G, F and Q value can be modified by inputting a value in the gray boxes.

Page 18: Setting Up System
This chapter is about the configuration of a set of power amplifiers using the Dante™ network. Not only independent connections can be set up, but also multiple power amplifiers can be connected as “Daisy Chain”. Sapphire III (Base) connects to the network hardware devices using Cat-5 cable. Sapphire III (Base) implements 4-in, 4-out audio signals, Digital Signal Processing and other configuration. - Page 19 Setting Up System Input/output conversion of audio signals Sapphire III (Base) power amplifier can implement the input/output conversion of analog/digital audio signal. Analog audio input to analog audio output conversion： Ethernet Data Stream (Bidirectional) Analog Audio Input (Mixer Console or Other Audio source)
- Page 20 Setting up a multi power amplifiers system using “Daisy Chain” : An amplifier system which contains multi Sapphire III (Base) power amplifiers can be configured as the figure shown below. Analog signals are sourced from a mixer or other audio source through the XLR inputs, while digital signals are input from a PC/Network switch through Ethernet port (ETH1/ETH2).
