VERVIEW AND
The ELAN IP Amps are multizone, and multisource audio switchers that can be controlled by the ELAN
software using IP. Using Dante, the various chassis can communicate and share/stream sources over IP.
T
HE FOLLOWING FEATURES ARE SUPPORTED
Source and Volume control: Each zone has independent control of the source selection and volume
control
Independent Zone Settings: Each zone has a prebuilt settings page with: Loudness, 5 band
customizable EQ, and Do Not Disturb (DND) settings
Configurable zone outputs: The outputs are independent from zones and can be assigned to any zone
for a very flexible installation. Using Dante, you can expand the number of chassis and therefore the
number of zones.
12 V Trigger outputs/Audio Sense Inputs: The EL-IPD-MTX-8CH, EL-IPD-PRE-MSI, and EL-IPD-AMP-
EXT all come with 3 12-volt trigger outputs, and also with the ability to detect audio inputs. These can be
used by configuring event maps.
Doorbell/Zone Paging: The EL-IPD-MTX-8CH and EL-IPD-PRE-MSI come with a dedicated doorbell
source that can be used with an ELAN SC100 or G1 to ring a doorbell or send a page through multiple
zones.

HE FOLLOWING FEATURES ARE
Control from HC Controllers: Only SC2, SC 10, SC100, and G1 can be used for control.

Page 8: Led Operation
Enable Low Power Mode: Low power mode forces the chassis to go to sleep after a certain period of inactivity. When in low power mode the chassis can take up to 20 seconds to wake up and start playing. When not in low power mode the chassis will reduce power when idle; however, it will quickly wake up Flash LED Start: This causes the power and status LEDs on the front of the chassis to start blinking to identify the chassis. -

Front Panel LED Reference Chart: Low Power Mode Enabled after Factory Reset If you factory reset the EL-IPD-MTX-8CH or EL-IPD-PRE-MSI while they are using the NAC card it will enable low power mode by default. To Reset MSI/MTX/EXT Chassis to out of box defaults With the chassis powered on, use a small pin press and hold the reset button on the back of the chassis for 20 seconds. - Page 11 PRE-SSI not playing audio The PRE-SSI has a switch on the back the allows the input to be changed between Optical, Coax, and Stereo Analog. Make sure the switch is on the correct source. PRE-SSI can only stream to 2 chassis simultaneously while in unicast. Must change to multicast for more.
