Chapter 2 Front & rear panel Front panel overview Front panel description The front panel of all PMQ amplifiers is identical among all the different models. All models are including an USB port, LCD display and rotary selection dial. USB port: A USB port is provided on the left side of the front panel. - Page 12 When the Clip LED illuminates, the output limiter of the amplifier will intervene avoiding a distorted “Clipping” sound on the output. The Protection LED will illuminate when overheating occurs or any other fault is detected. When the protection LED is illuminated, no signal will be present on the outputs.

Configuring the amplifier 1) Configuration using presets: In case your setup is a pre-defined set solution from AUDAC, a set solution configuration file will be available (*.SOL) whereby all settings for the configuration can be made by uploading the corresponding file to the amplifier. In this case, the file should be stored on an USB storage device and inserted to the USB port on front of the amplifier. -
Page 15: Ready
2) Configuring the outputs: The first step when a custom configuration is required is configuring the output channels. In standard configuration, every output channel is configured as an 100 Volt output channel. When your installation requires a combination between 100 Volt and Low impedance (8 Ω) speakers, this shall be configured by selecting the corresponding output and browse to the ‘Settings’... -

Chapter 4 Connecting the Amplifier NOTE Make sure the power is switched OFF when changes are made to the connections of the amplifier. Input connections The signal input connections are implemented through a balanced XLR and 3-pin terminal block (3.81 mm pitch) connector for each input. Both connectors are linked in parallel, allowing free selection to which connector the signal will be applied. -

Chapter 5 Configuring the amplifier The configuration of the amplifier can be done using the controls on the front panel of the amplifier. A graphical user interface is indicated on the front panel LCD display which guarantees an intuitive and user friendly experience. The menu structure is shown in below diagram, giving an overview of the configuration possibilities. -
Page 20: Main Screen
Main screen The main screen gives a fader overview of the amplifier outputs and allows to adjust the level for each of them. On top of the screen, the names of the output channels are shown (OUT 1, OUT 2, … ). Right under, the name of the inputs (INPUT 1, INPUT 2, …... -
Page 21: Input
Input The input linked to each channel can be selected in this screen. Every input signal can be linked to every output channel using the input selection matrix. Summed inputs for two sequent input channels can be selected too (E.g. Input 1+2). This can be useful when stereo input channels need to be patched to a mono output. -

the rotary function dial. If the parameter is set to the desired value, scrolling to the next field can be done by turning the function dial. When adjusting the frequency, a 5 digit number is shown and the adjusting digit can be selected (turns red) and confirmed by turning and pressing the rotary selection dial. -
Page 23: Delay
pressed for returning back to the output setup menu. Output setup >> Delay This function enables to create a specific delay between the input and the output signal. This delay can be used for time alignment between different loudspeakers in one configuration. It is configurable in meters within a range of 0 meter and 12 meter with a resolution of 0.1 meter / step. -
Page 24: Phase Reverse
Output setup >> Phase reverse Phase reverse will shift the phase of the output over 180° with the input, for applications where a contrary phase is desirable. Output setup >> Roll off Roll off allows to enable and disable a low-cut filter to the selected output. When the low-cut filter is enabled, frequencies below 50 Hz will be suppressed. -
Page 25: Input Gain
General setup >> Input gain The gain for each individual input can be set in this screen between a range of -16.5 dB and +30.75 dB. After scrolling and selecting the right input, gain can be adjusted through turning the rotary selection dial. Level indicators are shown on the right side of the display indicating the correct set gain level. -

After the desired file has been found, it can be loaded by selecting it. Speaker presets are files in *.SPF format which are prepared and provided by AUDAC and containing all parameters for optimal performance and protection for the corresponding loudspeaker. -
Page 27: Info
System backups are files in (*.SET) format which can be created by the customer themselves. When a system backup is made using the ‘save’ action as shown above, it will be saved as a (*.SET) file which can be re-loaded in similar way as a *.SOL file. It will be immediately loaded without requiring channel selection where it should apply to. -
