    6. Rear Panel Connections and Indicators AV8-2-LZ-D and CVA16-1-CV-D models: ① ② ③ ④ 1. Dante™ Audio and DC Power Input – Connect a Cat5e/6 cable between this RJ-45 jack and a PoE+ port (30W port power) on the 100/1000BaseT network switch. If using a mid-span PoE+ injector, connect this port to the Power+ Data port on the injector and connect the Data port of the injector to the 100/1000BaseT switch.
  • Page 7 Inspect carefully for possible shorts or broken wires. Use 4Ω or 8Ω speakers for the low impedance models (AV8-2-LZ-D and AV20-2-LZ-D) and position the switch ③ to match the loudspeaker impedance.
  • Page 8 NOTE: Class 2 wiring must be used on the speaker terminals to comply with UL requirements. CAUTION: The speaker terminals represent a shock hazard as they carry 70.7V and 100V when driven with an audio signal. Disconnect the amplifier from the AC power source when working on these terminals PoE Series Audio Amplifiers Operations Manual Rev E Page 8...

    (PD). This is done for safety reasons and to avoid potential damage to the category cable. Stewart Audio has configured our low impedance models with a 2-position switch which limits the output power of the amplifier to avoid shutting down the PoE+ supply. With the constant voltage PoE models, the user must ensure that the total tapped power for all speakers connected to the output does not exceed 16W/40W.

    One final note: According to the 802.11 standard, an 802.3at (PoE+) PD (powered device) can be connected with to an 802.3af (PoE) PSE. Stewart Audio PoE+ amplifiers adhere to the standard, so it is possible to run these PoE+ amplifiers from PoE PSE’s. But since the PoE PSE can only deliver 15.4W maximum per port (vs.
