connecting the product to the power source.
This guide provides quick start instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate the Extron NetPA 204 POE network
power amplifier. The Dante-enabled amplifier receives up to four channels of audio via its AT (PoE++) port and drives up to
20 watts per channel into 8Ω or 4Ω speaker loads. The amplifier is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Installation
Step 1 — Mounting
Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources and mount the unit as required with either the included MBU 123 Low-Profile
Mount Kit or the optional ATB 100 Amplifier Tile Bridge Ceiling Mount Kit (which can mount the amplifier above ceiling tiles, out of
sight and near the speakers).
Step 2 — Making Rear Panel Connections

AT (PoE++) — Connect an RJ-45 connector to communicate with both the Dante network and a
A
computer running the Extron DSP Configurator Pro software. The Link LED indicates when a Dante
sync connection is made.
8Ω/4Ω OUTPUTS 1 through 4 —

5mm captive-screw connectors to the speaker outputs.
ATTENTION:
• Use 'Class 2 Wiring' to connect speakers to
the amplifier output.
• Utilisez un câblage de classe 2 pour connecter
les enceintes à la sortie de l'amplificateur.
REMOTE port — To mute all four outputs, jump the MUTE pin to the ground (G) pin on this 2-pole 3.5mm captive

screw connector. Remove the jump to unmute the output (output audio).
CONFIG(uration) port — Connect a PC or other controlling device into the amplifier via this USB-C connector for

Summary of Contents for Extron electronics NetPA 204 POE

  • Page 1 This guide provides quick start instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate the Extron NetPA 204 POE network power amplifier. The Dante-enabled amplifier receives up to four channels of audio via its AT (PoE++) port and drives up to 20 watts per channel into 8Ω...
  • Page 2 Step 4 — DSP Configurator Pro Software Installation There are no hardware controls for the NetPA 204 POE. Control is via either Extron DSP Configurator Pro software or SIS commands. To learn about full computer requirements, see the DSP Configurator Pro product page on www.extron.com.
  • Page 3 DSP Configurator Pro. You must configure the number of speakers connected to each NETPA 204 POE of four output channels. The power amplifier can drive one or two 8Ω speakers or one 4Ω per channel. Each channel or zone can be configured for 8 or 4 ohm loads individually.
  • Page 4 From the Device menu, select Device View or press <Ctrl+D> on the keyboard. The Dante Controller - Device View dialog opens. Select the NetPA 204 POE from the (Select a Dante Device...) drop-down list. The Device View dialog populates with the selected NetPA 204 POE information.
  • Page 5 A physical network is required to share Dante audio channels among Dante-enabled devices like those found in the NetPA 204 POE. Other devices that can send and receive audio over a Dante network must be on the same physical network in order to communicate with Dante (see figure 4 for an example of a Dante network).
  • Page 6 Device level configuration such as sample rates, latency, and clock settings are saved instantly. For more information on configuring a NetPA 204 POE in Dante Controller, see the “Dante Controller” section of the NetPA 204 POE User Guide found on www.extron.com.
