NetPA U 8001 SUB • Setup Guide
The Extron NetPA U 8001 SUB is an ENERGY STAR-qualified, Dante-enabled subwoofer amplifier with onboard audio DSP,
designed specifically for use with the Extron SF 10C SUB in-ceiling subwoofer speaker, as well as other 8, 4, or 2 ohm
subwoofers with similar power requirements. The NetPA U 8001 SUB can deliver up to 800 watts at 8 ohms, 650 watts at 4 ohms,
or 325 watts at 2 ohms.
The NetPA U 8001 SUB is 1U high, half-rack width, and rack-mountable. The amplifier has mounting holes for 9-inch (22.86 cm)
and deeper rack shelves, and is plenum-rated with an optional flex conduit adapter. The unit is convection-cooled.
This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate the NetPA U 8001 SUB subwoofer amplifier.
For full installation, configuration, and operation details, see the NetPA U 8001 SUB 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 8001 SUB amplifier ships with a set of rack ears, so this 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-inch screws (

    Step 8 — DSP Configurator Software Installation There are no hardware controls for the NetPA U 8001 SUB. Configuration is performed using Extron DSP Configurator software, while control is performed via SIS commands. To learn about full computer requirements, see the DSP Configurator product page on www.extron.com.
  • Page 5: Downloading And Installing Dante Controller

    Configure Dante Device Settings Dante settings in the NetPA U 8001 SUB can be configured from DSP Configurator. The device can be named in the Dante Device Settings, which assists with identifying a specific device in the Dante Controller software when there are multiple devices on the Dante network.
  • Page 6: Creating A Physical Dante Network

    From the tabs at the top of the Device Settings dialog box, select Dante Device. In the Device Name field, give the NetPA U 8001 SUB 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 7 Dante Network Setup Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect a NetPA U 8001 SUB 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.
  • Page 8: Gain Structure

    Gain Structure The input sensitivity of the NetPA U 8001 SUB amplifier is 0 dBFS. To achieve maximum output power without degrading audio clarity, the peak signal level on the meter at the amplifier channel output attenuators should be set at—or as close as possible—to 0 dBFS.
