NetPA U 2002 SB • Setup Guide
The Extron NetPA U 2002 SB is an ENERGY STAR-qualified, Dante-enabled power amplifier with onboard audio DSP, for use in
low-impedance speaker systems or high-impedance line distribution audio systems.
The NetPA U 2002 SB is 1U high, half rack-width, and rack-mountable. The amplifiers have mounting holes for 9" (22.86 cm) and
deeper rack shelves and are plenum-rated with an optional flex conduit adapter. The units are convection-cooled.
This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate the NetPA U 2002 SB power amplifier. For full
installation, configuration, and operation details, see the NetPA U 2002 SB User Guide available at www.extron.com.
Installation Steps
Step 1 — Mounting onto a Rack
Turn off all of the equipment and disconnect it from the power source. Mount the amplifier as required. It can be securely mounted
in a variety of locations, using optional Extron Mounting Brackets and accessories (see the
optional mounting accessories), or using the included three-piece bracket system. The brackets do not come attached to the
amplifier.
The following sections describe two methods of rack-mounting the amplifiers.
Rack Ear Mounting (Single Unit)
The NetPA U 2002 SB amplifier ships with a set of rack ears, so the half-rack width amplifier can be installed in a full-rack width
space. Mount the amplifier with rack ears as follows:
If the amplifier has its rubber feet installed, remove them.
1.
Attach the rack brackets (one long and one short) to the sides with the four provided #6 machine screws (
2.
Insert the amplifier into the rack and align the holes in the rack ears with the holes on the rack.
3.
Secure the amplifier to the rack using the four provided 10-32 x 3/4" screws (

The software starts in Emulate mode: To create a configuration file offline and then upload that configuration to a NetPA U 2002 SB unit at a later time, remain in Emulate mode and save the configuration file. To upload a configuration to the NetPA U 2002 SB unit or download the current configuration from the unit, enter Live mode. -
Page 6: Setting The Output Mode
Setting the Output Mode The NetPA U 2002 SB output mode is configured via DSP Configurator and the selection is passed to the amplifier. There are six selectable modes that are divided into two stereo modes and four bridged mono modes. -
Page 7: Downloading And Installing Dante Controller
From the tabs at the top of the Device Settings dialog box, select Dante Device. In the Device Name field, give the NetPA U 2002 SB a name (recommended to be device model and location) so that it can be easily identified in Dante Controller. No spaces are allowed in the name. -
Page 8: Creating A Physical Dante Network
A physical network is required to share Dante audio channels among Dante-enabled devices like those found in the NetPA U 2002 SB. Other devices capable of sending and receiving audio over a Dante network must be on the same physical network in order to communicate with Dante (see figure 10 below for an example of a Dante network). - Page 9 Dante Network Setup Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect a NetPA U 2002 SB amplifier to a Dante network via the AT port. Launch the Dante Controller program. Dante Controller automatically discovers all Dante devices on the network and allows other Dante-enabled devices to communicate with it.
