The MFA is connected to an Ethernet network through this connection. It allows control of the system and its installed modules from any Ethernet supported device. Various possibilities of Ethernet control are available, including sending commands over TCP/IP and full system control using the AUDAC Touch™ 2 application. 6) Dante® module connection (optional): The MFA amplifier can be expanded with an optional ANI44 DANTE module. - Page 12 8) SourceCon™ interface card slots: A modular slot allows installation for a wide variety of optional SourceCon™ modules depending on the required system functionality. The module slot is fitted with a guiding system and connection is made by board-edge connectors allowing fast and simple installation. 9) Unbalanced stereo line input: An unbalanced line-level input source (e.g.

Front control > Main The main screen gives an indication of the operation mode of installed module on the top. When a module is installed, an icon will indicate the function of the module. In case no module installed, the provided area will display the amplifier model. -
Page 15: Settings
Front control > Settings The settings menu is accessed through pressing the settings (lower) button on the main screen. This menu includes all the settings regarding the inputs, amplifier output, line output and general system settings. Specific settings regarding the installed modules are found in the module control menu. Front control >... - Page 16 Type: Selectable between Disabled, Butterworth, Bessel, Linkwitz-Riley LP/HP: Lowpass / Highpass Roll-off: Selectable between 12 dB/Oct and 24 dB/Oct Frequency: Infinitely adjustable between 10 Hz and 20 kHz The configuration of the desired filter is made through selecting the required filter type and characteristics. Toggling between various characteristics is done by pressing the rotary dial in case two options are available (LP/HP and Roll-off) while the filter type selection is done by rotating and confirming by pressing the rotary dial.
- Page 17 Front control > Settings > Amplifier > Output > Limiter: The output level can be limited to a certain power. This is very useful when the output power of the amplifier is exceeding the maximum power handling capability of the connected loudspeakers. In case of an increasing level of the applied input signal, the output power will always be limited to the configured value.
- Page 18 The wall panel menu allows a selection of the available inputs to be configurable though the connected wall panels (MWX45), or the zone widgets when using the AUDAC Touch™ 2 app. It shows 8 input channels (‘WP IN 1’ up to ‘WP IN 8’) to which a corresponding input can be assigned.

The other shown passwords ‘Master’ and ‘User’ are passwords required for accessing the MFA through external remote control systems such as the AUDAC Touch™ 2 application. The master password (default = MFA) gives access to all available functions of the device, including administrator level functions such as system settings. The user password (default = user) only gives access to basic functions such as volume changes and input selection. - Page 21 SAVE When a system backup settings file is saved, it will be stored on the inserted medium in the filepath ...\AUDAC\ SETTINGS\SETTINGS.SET. Any available file with the same path and filename will be overwritten.
- Page 22 The MFA is supporting OTA (over-the-air) updates, meaning that the device automatically searches for updates which are distributed from the Audac servers over the internet to the amplifier. If any update becomes available, it will be automatically downloaded to the device and the firmware will be updated when approved and confirmed by the user (depending on the configured settings).
- Page 23 Force update: Will re-write the firmware of the device, no matter whether there is a newer version of the firmware available at this moment. This can be useful if an earlier update was interrupted or not successful. Front control > Settings > General settings > Dante: Will indicate whether there is any Dante network interface card installed, and indicate the firmware version of the installed Dante network card (if any).

Selection can be made between low impedance or constant voltage (100V / 70V) depending on project requirements. The corresponding terminals and settings shall be connected depending of the loudspeakers and installation type. The table below shows the output voltage, impedance and maximum power load for each amplifier model. MFA208 4Ω/12.7V 8Ω/17.9V 16Ω/25.3V... - Page 25 Multiple advanced software configuration possibilities are available, depending on project specific requirements. Configuration is done through the front panel control interface or the AUDAC Touch™ 2 application. All configurable possibilities can be found in earlier chapters of this instruction manual.

Page 26: Chapter 5: Installing The Sourcecon™ Module
Chapter 5 Installing the SourceCon™ module CAUTION Before installing any modules to the expansion slot of the MFA, make sure the AC mains power is disconnected. Malfunctions or electrical shocks may occur otherwise. Step 1: Make sure that the slot where the module shall be installed is open and ready for installation. In standard (factory default) configuration, the MFA comes delivered with the slot covered by a blind panel. - Page 27 Step 4: Some resistance might occur when the module’s board edge connector reaches the connection counterpart on the main board. Gently push the module all the way into the slot to ensure that the contacts are correctly inserted. The module is well inserted when its connection panel touches the chassis of the main device. Step 5: Fasten the module into the slot using the included screws.
