3. Configurazione e installazione
3.1 Disimballaggio
Rimuovere con attenzione il file ampEstrarre l'unità dall'imballaggio. Ispezionare l'unità per verificare eventuali segni di danni che potrebbero essersi verificati durante il trasporto. Conservare l'imballaggio originale per eventuali trasporti o rimessaggio futuri.
3.2 Installazione fisica
The DCI2x600N amplifier is designed for rack mounting. It occupies 2U of rack space. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. Do not install the amplifier directly above heat-generating equipment without proper spacing.
- Montare il amplifier securely in a standard 19-inch equipment rack using appropriate rack screws.
- Allow at least 1U of empty space above and below the amplifier for optimal airflow, especially in enclosed racks.
- Ensure the front and rear ventilation grilles are unobstructed.
Dimensioni: 14.3 x 19 x 3.5 pollici (L x L x A)
Peso: 22 libbre
3.3 Connessioni
Prima di effettuare qualsiasi collegamento, assicurarsi che amplifier is powered off and disconnected from the mains supply.
3.3.1 Connessioni di ingresso audio
Collega la tua sorgente audio (ad esempio, mixer, preamplifier) al amplifier's input connectors. The DCI2x600N typically uses balanced XLR or Phoenix-style connectors for inputs. Refer to the rear panel for specific input types.
3.3.2 Connessioni di uscita audio
Collega i tuoi altoparlanti al ampterminali di uscita del lifier. Assicurarsi che la polarità sia corretta (+ a + e - a -) e che l'impedenza dell'altoparlante corrisponda amplifier's specifications. The DCI2x600N supports various output configurations, including low impedance and 70V/100V constant voltage sistemi.
3.3.3 Network Connection (N-model)
For network control and monitoring, connect an Ethernet cable from your network switch or router to the amplifier's network port. This allows integration with Harman's HiQnet Audio Architect software.
3.3.4 Collegamento di alimentazione
Collegare il cavo di alimentazione CA in dotazione al amplifier's IEC inlet and then to a suitable mains power outlet. Ensure the power outlet provides the correct voltage and current rating for the amppiù vivace.
Figura 1: Front panel of the Crown DriveCore Install 2600N Amplificatore. Questa immagine mostra il amplifier's front face, featuring the Crown logo on the left, a central display panel with LED indicators for Fault, Thermal, Clip, Signal, and Ready states for two channels, and the model number "2 600N DRIVECore INSTALL" on the right. A green illuminated power button is also visible on the far right.
4. Istruzioni per l'uso
4.1 Accensione/Spegnimento
- Accensione: Press the power button located on the front panel. The power indicator will illuminate.
- Spegni: Press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the unit powers down.
4.2 Indicatori del pannello frontale
The central display panel provides visual feedback on the ampstato del lificatore:
- COLPA: Illuminates if a fault condition is detected (e.g., short circuit, DC offset).
- TERMICO: Indica il amplifier is overheating. The unit may reduce output or shut down to protect itself.
- CLIP: Illuminates when the input signal is too high, causing distortion. Reduce input level to prevent clipping.
- -20dB, -10dB, SIGNAL: These LEDs indicate the input signal level for each channel. The SIGNAL LED illuminates when an audio signal is present.
- PRONTO: Si illumina quando il amplifier is powered on and ready to pass audio.
- DATI: (Next to Power button) Indicates network activity for the N-model.
4.3 Network Control and Monitoring
The DCI2x600N amplifier can be controlled and monitored remotely via a network connection using Harman's HiQnet Audio Architect software. This allows for configuration of input/output routing, DSP settings, monitoring of amplifier status, and more.
- Install HiQnet Audio Architect software on a connected computer.
- Scopri il amplifier sulla rete.
- Accesso e configurazione amplifier parameters as needed.
5. Manutenzione
5.1 Pulizia
Pulire periodicamente il amplifier's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents. Ensure ventilation grilles are free from dust and debris to maintain proper airflow.
5.2 Ventilazione
Controllare regolarmente che il amplifier's ventilation openings are not obstructed. Proper airflow is crucial for preventing overheating and ensuring long-term reliability.
6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Nessun potere | Power cord disconnected; no mains power; ampfusibile dell'alimentatore bruciato. | Check power cord connection; verify mains power; contact qualified service personnel for fuse replacement. |
| Nessuna uscita audio | Input signal missing; speaker cables disconnected; amplificatore in modalità guasto. | Verify audio source and input connections; check speaker cable connections and polarity; check front panel FAULT indicator. |
| Suono distorto | Input signal too high (clipping); incorrect speaker impedance; faulty speaker. | Reduce input level (check CLIP indicator); verify speaker impedance matches amplifier; prova con altoparlanti diversi. |
| THERMAL LED illuminated | Insufficient ventilation; excessive ambient temperature; prolonged high output. | Assicurare un flusso d'aria adeguato attorno al amplifier; reduce ambient temperature; lower output level. |
