  • Page 8: Making Hardware Connections And Applying Power

    Making Hardware Connections and Applying Power Making Hardware Connections and Applying Power Wiring Input Connectors Crown recommends using pre-built or professionally wired balanced cables (two-conductor plus shield). Balanced wiring provides better rejection of unwanted noise and hum; however, unbalanced line may also be used. Use 6-pin plug-in cable ends at the amp input connectors.

  • Page 32: Editing Dsp Settings ������������������������������������������������������������28 Factory Service Shipping Instructions

    Editing DSP Settings Editing DSP Settings Crown DCi DA amplifiers have digital signal processing built into the amplifier. When using a DCi DA amp, the loudspeaker processing is in the onboard DSP, so discrete rackmount loudspeaker management devices are not needed. This drastically cuts setup time, commissioning, rack space, and costs. The DCi DA DSP can be monitored and controlled via the network using a computer running Audio Architect.
  • Page 33: Configuration Panel

    Editing DSP Settings Configuration Panel The Configuration panel can be accessed by clicking the amplifier icon from the Room window in Audio Architect.

  • Page 41: Mastership

    In certain cases, it is possible to use devices of more than one Ethernet transport type (i.e., AVB, CobraNet™, or BLU link) connected within the same Dante network. In other words, if you’re careful, you can design a HARMAN system that actually includes more than two transports. For example, it’s possible for a HARMAN system to have CobraNet™...
  • Page 42: Dante Led Indicators

    Using Dante Any multi-transport combination NOT specifically listed in the previous section is not allowed in Soundweb London systems (without being forced to use analog interconnects between transports). For example, Dante + AVB + CobraNet is NOT allowed, because the AVB and CobraNet networks would each be synced to different clocks—their own.
  • Page 43 Using Dante Clicking the Advanced Settings button from the Input Configuration panel (see Figure 44) or Output Configuration panel (see Figure 46) opens the Dante Advanced Settings window (see Figure 45), where Dante and AES67 information is displayed. Additional flexibility is provided when using the amplifier's Dante outputs. Clicking the Output Configuration button from the Source Routing panel opens the Dante Output Configuration panel (see Figure 46).
  • Page 44: Using Device Presets

    Using Device Presets Using Device Presets Device presets allow configuration, DSP, channel assignment, gains, as well as other settings to be stored for later recall. A device preset can be used to configure the amp for a specific application and speaker model. For example, you might use one device preset that optimizes the amp’s DSP for a JBL tri-amplified speaker system. Or, you might use a device preset that sets up the DSP for a stereo pair of loudspeakers of your choice.
  • Page 45: Saving And Opening Audio Architect Venue Files

    Saving and Opening Audio Architect Venue Files When finished programming HARMAN devices in Audio Architect, it is good practice to save the entire venue as a "Venue" file. This will save all Audio Architect configuration changes and the programming and settings for all devices in the current venue configuration to a single file for backup and recall.
