Power Switch

The power switch turns the amplifier on and off.

When the Sonance logo on the power switch is lit solid white, the amplifier has power and is turned ON and ready to operate.

When the Sonance logo is slightly dimmed the amplifier is in standby mode.

When the Sonance logo on the power switch is blinking white, the amplifier power supply is in thermal protection. The channel LEDs will also light red when the power supply is in thermal protect mode.

NOTE: Upon initial power up there will be an approximately 12 second boot up cycle. This is normal.

Input/Output Lights

When each channel is active, the LED will light green as long as a signal is present.

When the LED blinks red, this is an indication that the channel is being overdriven.

When the LED lights are solid red this is an indication the amplifier is in protect mode. While in protect mode the LED lights will periodically light green to retest the output to determine if the short has been removed. Protect mode could be caused by a short in the wire, overheating of the amplifier or possibly an internal problem with the amplifier.

NOTE: WHEN ANY OF THE LEDS ARE LIT RED TURN THE

AMPLIFIER OFF IMMEDIATELY. DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE

PROBLEM BEFORE TURNING THE AMPLIFIER ON.

Volume Level Control

Each channel on the amplifier has volume adjustments found in the

software or from the front panel recessed volume controls.

Protection Circuitry and LEDs

The Sonamp amplifiers have a multi-stage protection system to prevent damage to your amplifier and speakers.

Amplifier Channel Protection DSP 2-150

If a channel encounters a short-circuit (in bridged mode the protection circuitry will sense a short circuit across both positive speaker terminals), or extremely low impedance will cause the affected channel outputs to automatically mute. The output of the effected channel will remain muted until the fault has been corrected. Only the effected channels output will mute, all other channels will continue to operate normally.

Amplifier Channel Protection Indication DSP 2-150

On the front panel of the Sonamp DSP 2-150 amplifiers are dual color LEDs that illuminate to indicate the current operating status of each amplifier channel.

Rack Ear Installation DSP 2-150

The DSP 2-150 ships with two long rack ears for when the amplifier is to be used alone in a 1U space. Unscrew the four Phillips head screws (M4 x 0.7 pitch x 10mm long) found on each side of the left and right forward section of amplifier. Use these screws to connect the included rack ears to the amplifier (see Figure 15).

SIDE VIEW RIGHT

FRONT VIEW

When the LED blinks red this is an indication that the channel is being overdriven.

When the LED lights are solid red this is an indication the amplifier is in protect mode. While in protect mode the LED lights will periodically light green to retest the output to determine if the short has been removed. Protect mode could be caused by a short in the wire, overheating of the amplifier or possibly an internal problem with the amplifier.

IMPORTANT: ALLOWING THE AMPLIFIER TO OPERATE WITH

ONE OR MORE CHANNELS IN PROTECT MODE FOR AN

EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME CAN DAMAGE THE AMPLIFIER.

Amplifier Power Supply Protection DSP 2-150

The amplifier also has protection for the power supply. If the power supply heat sink temperature exceeds the design maximum, the protection circuit will activate, disconnecting all channel outputs.

This is indicated by a blinking light on the front panel power switch.

FIGURE 15: RACK EAR INSTALLATION DSP 2-150

Amplifier Stacking

The DSP 2-150 is capable of being directly stacked with the feet removed (see Figure 16) for use in low to moderate output applications. For high-output applications, it is recommended to leave at least 1U space between amplifiers for increased ventilation.

FRONT VIEW

IMPORTANT: ANY TIME THE PROTECTION CIRCUITS ARE

TRIGGERED, UNPLUG THE AMPLIFIER’S POWER CORD FROM

THE WALL OUTLET BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING.

ACCESSING

In order to access the software on a DSP amplifier the amplifier needs to be on and connected to a router. The router will provide the DSP amplifier with an IP address automatically.

Using a Windows computer running Windows 7 or 8 the amplifier can be found in your network connections. The DSP amplifiers feature UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allowing them to be displayed as easily accessible network devices. When multiple amplifiers are connected to the same network they will appear individually.

To find the IP address on a Mac computer or iOS device you will need to use an IP address scanner software or app. The manufacturer name should be displayed as Sonance on the DSP amplifier in your

IP scanning software.

Once you have the IP address you can use any internet browser to access the software. Type the DSP amplifier’s IP address into the URL bar. When the page loads you should be presented with the

General Settings tab.

IP SETUP

DHCP On/Off

DHCP ON / OFF is the first option in IP SETUP. All Sonance DSP series amplifiers ship with DHCP (Dynamic Host Connection Protocol) ON.

In most installations DHCP should be left ON. If you are controlling the DSP series amplifier using IP then we suggest you turn DHCP

OFF and use a static IP address.

12

IP Address

The second setting in the IP SETUP section is the IP address.

When DHCP is ON the current IP address will be displayed. To change the IP address DHCP must be set to OFF.

When DHCP is turned off the IP address that the router assigned to the amplifier will still be applied. This IP address is a good place to start since it is not being used by another network device. If you wish to change the IP address you should perform a scan of the network and only assign an unused IP address within the range of your router. As a general rule only change the last three digits of the IP address in the amplifier settings and only assign numbers between

1 and 254. Following this suggestion will minimize the chance of making the amplifier inaccessible.

It is critical to type in the correct IP address. If the wrong IP address is entered, the amplifier could become inaccessible. Make changes to the IP settings only if you fully understand network setup.

IP Subnet Mask

The third setting in the IP SETUP section is the IP Subnet Mask. This is an advanced network setup function. Under most circumstances this field should not need to be edited. Making changes in this field should only be done by experienced network administrators.


ID Amp Mode

When flash power switch is turned ON the power button on the front of the amplifier will flash to indicate which amplifier you are programming. This will make the amplifier easy to identify in a multi-amp installation.

IP

When the amplifier is connected to a network and an IP command is sent to the amplifier it will turn the amplifier on and off.

IR

When you wish to turn the amplifier ON and OFF via an IR command.

Backup Restore

The green BACKUP and RESTORE buttons take all of the settings of the amplifier including the DSP settings and encapsulates them into one file. This allows you to transfer these settings into another amp of the same model. This is a proprietary file type, agnostic to PC or

Mac.

Print

The print button will output a complete list of all settings for the amplifier. It is always a good idea to keep a backup hard copy of the settings for each installation.

Auto On

Auto On Method

Simply select the auto on method you would like to use with the blue pull down menu. The five methods are listed below.

It is strongly recommended that you set the auto on method to

POWER BUTTON to avoid unintended shut offs while configuring the amplifier. You can return at anytime to this setting and select the final method of auto-on for your installation.

Audio

When an Audio signal is sensed on any input the amplifier will turn on. When the signal is removed the amplifier will enter standby after 15 minutes.

Power Button

The Power Button option restricts turn on and off to the front panel power button and will not enter standby.

Auto On Delay

If multiple amplifiers are connected to the same electrical circuit it might be necessary to stagger the turn on of each amplifier. Under normal conditions this can be set to 0 milliseconds.

NOTE: IF EITHER AUDIO OR VOLTAGE TRIGGERS ARE SELECTED, THE

AMPLIFIER HAS A 12 SECOND CYCLE TIME FROM STANDBY TO PLAY AN

AUDIO SIGNAL. THIS IS NORMAL AND REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH

THE EU < .5 WATT ERP DIRECTIVE. (EC/1275/2008). SELECT OFF TO

BYPASS THIS FEATURE. SEE POWER CONSUMPTION TABLE FOR IDLE

POWER USE (SEE PAGE 6, FIGURE 7). AUDIO AUTO ON IS THE ONLY

MODE THAT ALLOWS THE AMPLIFIER TO DRAW 0.5 WATTS AT STANDBY.

NOTE: WHEN VOLTAGE, POWER BUTTON, IP OR IR IS SELECTED THE

AMPLIFIERS POWER SAVING FEATURE WILL BE DISABLED.

Voltage

When a AC or DC voltage from 3-30 volts is applied to the rear panel connector the amplifier will turn on and off.

13

Input Setup

Input Name

This is a user entered field with a maximum of 16 characters.

Use these fields to describe the type of input connected.

Input Trim dB

This pull down menu allows for input levels to be adjusted +/-6dB.

This gives you the ability to level out all your inputs so when you switch from input to input the levels will be equal. This can eliminate any harsh transitions between sources with different output voltages. Select the pull down menu in each channel to adjust the level trim between plus or minus 6dB in increments of .5dB

Output Setup

Output Name

This is a user entered field with a maximum of 16 characters.

Use these fields to describe the location of the speakers.

Stereo / Mono

Allows each channel to be set for Stereo or Mono operation. When

Mono is selected the Left and Right of the input selected will be combined to create Mono.

DSP Preset

Apply any of the available Sonance DSP presets to each channel of the amplifier independently.

You can apply any open preset and then make modifications on the

EQ Settings page.

Output Group

The DSP 2-150 has two Output Group options A-B.

When using IP or IR to control the amplifier, commands are sent to an output group and not to a specific channel.

Bridge Mode

When more power is required two channels can be bridged.

Follow the instructions on page 7 for connecting the wires then select Bridge ON.

14


Output Source

Source 1

This is the primary source you will direct to the speakers. Any of the inputs available on the amplifier can be selected. When channels are in the same Output Group the inputs will all change in unison.

Left inputs default to left outputs and right inputs to right outputs.

Source 2

This is a secondary source that based on the Mode Source 2 setting described below will either override or mix with Source 1. This input could be used for a doorbell or paging for example.

Mode Source 2

OFF

When set to OFF the second source has no effect on the operation of the channel.

MIX

When set to MIX Source 1 and Source 2 will be blended together when a signal is present on Source 2.

MUTE

When set to MUTE Source 1 will be muted while Source 2 is active.

15

Output Volume

Output volume ranges between -70 to 12.

The default volume level controls are set at 0.

Output Volume

This is the main volume level control for each channel. When channels are placed in the same Output Group the levels will change simultaneously.

Turn On Volume

This determines what volume level the amplifier will default to when it is turned on. Channels placed in the same Output Group will automatically have identical levels. Turn On Volume level is implemented when the amplifier is turned off with the power switch or goes into standby mode.

Maximum Volume

This is an independent setting for each channel. This can be used to limit how loud the speakers will play in certain areas. The Output

Group selected does not affect this setting.

Gain Offset

The gain offset setting allows channels in the same Output Group to have their levels adjusted independently by +/-6dB. This is an independent setting not affected by the Output Group.

Mute

The mute setting eliminates the output from the speakers. Channels placed in the same Output Group will change simultaneously.


Assign Preset

Output Name

These can be named Output 1L & Output 1R or room names such as

Kitchen L and Kitchen R. These are a duplicate of the Output Name on the IN/OUT Settings page.

DSP Preset

Select your DSP preset with the blue pull down menu. This will auto populate in the IN/OUT Settings page.

Test Signal

The software includes a built in pink noise generator.

The pink noise signal can be used in conjunction with a real time analyzer to measure speakers.

Test Signal Select

You have the option of pink noise or test signals fed into line level inputs. Use the blue pull down menu to select between pink noise or line level inputs as a source for the test signal.

Volume

Select your desired volume.

On/Off

Toggles between on and off.

The pink noise signal should not be left on for more than 10 minutes to minimize the risk of damaging the speakers.

IMPORTANT: ONLY MODIFY THE EQ SETTINGS TAB IF YOU HAVE A

STRONG UNDERSTANDING AND EXPERIENCE WITH MANUALLY

CALIBRATING PARAMETRIC CURVES AND HAVE THE NECESSARY

TEST EQUIPMENT. IF NOT, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT

YOU DO NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS ON THE EQ SETTINGS

TAB. ONLY USE THE PRE-PROGRAMMED DSP CURVES AVAILABLE

ON TAB 2. NEVER MAKE ADJUSTMENTS ON THIS TAB BY EAR.

Output Frequency Response Example Image

This graph reflects the changes made below.

The above EQ image shows EQ4 ON at 500Hz, the Q is set to 3 with a -6dB gain, creating a gradual dip in the lower midrange.

EQ9 shows ON at 3000Hz, the Q is set to 10 with a -6dB gain, creating a sharp dip in the midrange.

EQ10 shows ON at 10000Hz, the Q is set to 1 with a +4dB gain, creating a very gradual slope in the high frequencies.

Parametric EQ

All Sonance DSP amplifier models feature a 10 band parametric

EQ. Adjustments made to the EQ will be displayed on the Output

Frequency Response graph. We strongly suggest not adjusting the

EQ without proper measurement equipment.

EQ On/Off

Turns each of the 10 parametric EQ filters on and off.

EQ Frequency Hz

Enter the frequency in Hz that you would like to adjust.

EQ-Q

This setting determines the width of the adjustment range. The lower the number the wider the bandwidth. The higher the number the narrower the bandwidth.

EQ Gain +/-dB

The level of each parametric adjustment can be set +/-12dB.

Careful adjustment of the EQ Gain is necessary to prevent damage to the speakers. Always increase the level as little as possible.

The first choice should always be to reduce the output to achieve the target frequency response.

Limiter

The limiter operates as a brick wall limit on the output of the amplifier. The limiter drop down menu has -3dB, -6dB and -12dB options. The maximum outputs for each of the models:

18

No Limiter -3dB -6dB -12dB

DSP 2-150 150 watts 75 watts 37.5 watts 9.4 watts

All of the above output power ratings are when connected to an

8 ohm load.

Delay

Delay is shown in Milliseconds, Feet and Meters. You can make an entry in any of the three fields and the other fields will be calculated automatically.

The minimum delay is .01 milliseconds, the maximum delay is 25 milliseconds.

This function is useful when compensating for distance between satellites and subwoofers for instance.


Crossover

LP Xover / HP Xover

This setting turns the high and low pass crossovers ON and OFF.

Frequency

In this field you can enter any frequency between 20Hz-20kHz.

Filter Type

6dB, 12dB, 18dB and 24dB per octave Butterworth filters are available in the pull down menu.

The higher the number the faster the speakers output will be reduced below or above the crossover frequency.

In a typical satellite subwoofer system the crossover frequency would be around 80-100Hz for both the high and low pass filters.

Crossover/Tilt Control Example Image

The above EQ image shows High Tilt set to ON, frequency at 5000Hz with a +5dB gain, creating a gradual tilt in the high frequencies.

HP Xover set to ON at 90Hz with a 24dB Filter Type.

This is an example only to explain the settings. Your settings will differ.

Tilt Control

The tilt controls are very sophisticated bass and treble control.

By selecting a start frequency and level you can ramp the bass and or treble up or down.

The effect of the tilt control is visible in the Output Frequency

Response graph.

Low Tilt / High Tilt

This setting turns the Low and High tilt controls ON and OFF.

Frequency

Enter the start frequency of the tilt in Hz.

To boost the low frequencies you would typically set the Low Tilt to

100Hz. To boost the high frequencies you would set the High Tilt to around 5kHz.

Gain

The gain can be set in 1dB steps +/-12dB.

When setting the gain use as little positive gain as possible to minimize the risk of damage to the loudspeakers.

DSP 2-150 AMPLIFIER WITH VP10SUB

OR VP10SUB NC INSTALLATION

1. Read the DSP 2-150 Manual and Network Connection

Instructions.

2. Using assign the VP10SUB or VP10SUB NC subwoofer preset to the channel or channels being used.

3. In a typical home theater system the signal to the subwoofer

will be from the (LFE) output on your surround receiver or

processor. Connect the (LFE) output to an input on the DSP

2-150 amplifier. When using two subwoofers with the DSP

2-150 amplifier set the output to Mono using the

In/Out settings page, see image below.

Many surround receivers and processor contain an automatic calibration and equalization system. If yours does contain one, follow the manufacturer’s instructions on how to complete the process. The highest performance will be achieved if you complete this calibration process.

If your surround receiver or processor does not contain an automatic calibration routine, you will need to do this manually.

Follow the instructions provided with your surround receiver or processor. A simple SPL (sound pressure level) meter will be needed to calibrate your system correctly. The use of an SPL meter is strongly recommended.

4. The DSP 2-150 can also run stereo subwoofers. Connect the

audio source into the left and right inputs on the amplifier. In

Output Setup select Stereo. See image below.

5. Bridging the DSP 2-150 instructions are located on page 7.
