5.1 AC Power Requirements

VXP products are equipped with Neutrik powerCON mains connectors which mate with the Neutrik NAC3FCA Cable
connector, quick lock with a securing lever for power-in. This AC mains connector is supplied with each VXP product.
The IDEAA™ module in VXP loudspeakers has a universal power supply. It will operate on any AC mains supply
from 70 V to 265 V (+/- 10%) at 50 or 60 Hz, although with reduced power output capability at the low voltage
extremes 100-240 V (+/-10%). The module will continue to function down to 70 Vac, but with reduced output
power capabilities. This allows continued operation even when using long, thin power cables, or when powered
from portable generators that are unable to maintain full nominal voltage.

5.2 Auto and Manual Power Modes

VXP loudspeakers are designed to meet the requirements of the Energy Star 2.0 specification. The IDEEA module
is highly efficient in operation, regardless of levels or program material, and has a STANDBY power consumption of
less than 0.5 W. It also offers two modes for power on/off.
AUTO mode – This is the default mode as delivered. AUTO engages the Auto Power Down (APD) feature which
puts the IDEAA™ module in STANDBY if no input signal is detected for a period of 20 minutes. The Auto Power On
(APO) turns the module on in less than 2 seconds after a signal is present at the input.
MANUAL MODE – The power mode may be switched to MANUAL to disable the APD and APO functions. This
allows use of an external power sequencer or manual control. Because of the very low idle current consumption,
good overall efficiency is maintained even when the MANUAL mode is selected.
To isolate power disconnect the mains plug from the power source. Under no circumstances should you
break the power using the powerCON connector

5.3 Cooling

Do not install this equipment in an enclosed space. Do not limit free ventilation and movement of air around the back
panel. Ensure that there is at least 100 mm (4") of space around all sides of the product for ventilation. VXP products
do not have cooling fans; the highly efficient switch mode power supply and proprietary Class D output stage have
less current draw and therefore require only the convection cooling provided by the rear panel heat sink.

5.4 LED Functions

Limit LED - When illuminated this indicates that the system is approaching clipping. An occasional flicker
of the red LED on the loudest peaks is acceptable. If this LED remains red for more than the duration of
brief dynamic peaks, or lights continuously then the system is being overdriven. If the red LED illuminates
excessively:
• Reduce the input level (see interface panel)
• Reduce the output level of the mixer, or other source to the speaker.
Signal LED – The Green LED indicates that a useable signal is present at the input.
Power LED – StandBy - Red
Active - Green
Temp Prot. - Amber
