LD Series | Installation and user manual 4. Controls, connections and adjustments 4.1 Control The amplifiers comes with a fault synthesis allowing you to monitor the main functions of the unit, such as the amplifier’s power, the integrity of the loop cable connected to the amplifier and the inputs.
LD Series | Installation and user manual 4.3 Front panel and adjustments Front panel - Figure4 1. "Protect" LED, fault summary display. Error indicator. This red LED lights up when the master loop amplifier is overloaded, when the input level of the master loop is too high or when the master loop is defective.
17. INPUT 1 Phoenix type terminal block: 100V priority. This terminal block input allows you to connect an external audio input from a 100V sound system, the audio is directly recovered from the speaker’s line. 18. Slave IN input. This input is used to connect a 0° or 90° output (Master/Slave) from another LD series loop amplifier.
