3. INSTALLATION 3.3.2 Inrush current limitation The LINUS12C has a special processor dedicated to limit the mains inrush current. This limiter will take action under any of the following conditions: - when connecting the amplifier to the mains through the mains cable - when switching the amplifier on through an external mains breaker - the mains voltage was lost for at least 4 half-cycles or more (e.g.
Eight audio channels are arranged in four AES/EBU pairs. The AES/EBU input and output connectors allow you to receive and send multichannel digital audio streams to other AES/EBU-compatible devices (like other LINUS12C amplifiers for ex- ample). Please note that although the AES/EBU and Ethernet connectors use the same connector type (RJ45), the physical transmission protocols are different.
3.5 Remote control inputs (Ethernet) The Ethernet link network connector allows you to access the LINUS12C from a host computer for remote control, firmware update and downloading DSP presets. Please note that for setting up proper network connection you need to use the CODA Audio LINUS Control software.
