Finding the SA-x DSP on the Network
The SA-x DSP uses DHCP and mDNS to receive an IP address and be easily accessed through the local network. Be sure that the SA-x
and your computer are on the same local network and subnet.
Currently the SA-x supports Firefox, Chrome browsers on both Windows and MacOS computers, and Safari on MacOS. We
recommend Firefox for most applications.
Method One – Use Direct Connection using Ethernet without a Network or Router
The simplest option is to connect directly without a router. By default, the SA-x will have an IP Address of 169.254.0.8. Note that you
can only connect one (1) SA-x at a time with this method and your computer must have a wired ethernet connection. A switch (not a
router) can also be used to simplify the connections. Wi-Fi cannot be used.
Connect the SA-x unit to the Ethernet port of your computer by plugging an Ethernet cable from the computer directly to the SA-x
without a router or switch. Turn on the unit and take it out of standby.
Open your web browser and enter the IP Address of
Method Two – mDNS Name
We recommend that you connect one (1) SA-x at a time on the network if you use the mDNS Name method until you have changed
the hostname to a unique name for the installation.
NOTE: All SA-8 and SA-8DSP come factory default set to the Hostname "SA-8"; All SA-3 DSP are "SA-3"; All SA-2 DSP are "SA-2". If
you use the mDNS name with multiple amplifiers of the same model on the same network, you may not control the correct
amplifier. Proceed with caution!
1. Connect the SA-x and computer to a DHCP server. It is important to be on the same subnet.
2. Power on the amplifier and open your web browser
3. System Control Page should be found
Method Three – IP Scan
This is perfect for installations with multiple SA-x on the network, or where the mDNS name is not working.
NOTE: The Hostname may not appear correctly based on your local router settings. In this case, look for the MAC address beginning
with 8C:1F:64:xx:xx:xx.
1. Use
Angry IP Scanner
2. Scan the local network
3. SA-x will appear in the list
4. Enter the IP address that is shown into your browser. In the example below, 192.168.2.227 is the SA-8

The first time you open the advanced page it may take a few seconds to load. NOTE: If this or any other page does not load after 30 seconds, you can try reloading the page.
- Page 3 • Mains Power Recovery: This only applies to the SA-8 and SA-8 DSP - What does the SA-8 do during an unexpected power failure? Power Failure is when the power is lost unexpectedly. The system can only respond if the power is out for more than several minutes, otherwise it assumes the user intended to flip the switch on the back.
