Introduction

The Yamaha NetworkAmp Manager software is for controlling and monitoring Yamaha
PCxxxxN series power amplifiers, the ACU16-C Amp Control Unit, and the NHB32-C
Network Hub and Bridge. It runs on standard Windows PCs and can be connected to an
ACU16-C or NHB32-C by using either USB or RS-232C. Multiple ACU16-Cs and
NHB32-Cs can be managed from a single PC running NetworkAmp Manager, which can
be connected to any ACU16-C or NHB32-C on the CobraNet network.
NetworkAmp Manager can record log files listing various operations and warnings (e.g.,
output shorts, overheating) for troubleshooting analysis after a performance.
Several PCs running NetworkAmp Manager can be connected to the CobraNet network,
offering simultaneous control and monitoring from several locations within a venue.
NetworkAmp Manager can control and manage the following:
Up to 512 Yamaha PCxxxxN series power amplifiers (32 amps per ACU16-C)
Up to 4,096 amplifier channels (8 channels per amplifier)
Up to 16 ACU16-Cs
