INSTALLATION NOTES:
• High or low impedance speaker connection options can be
selected independently for each output channel via the
amplifier configuration web interface.
• Analog input sensitivity can be adjusted independently for each
channel via the amplifier configuration web interface.
• S/PDIF digital audio I/O routing can be configured via the
amplifier configuration web interface.
• GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) options can be configured
via the amplifier configuration web interface.
• Ensure that rack or other confined installation does not restrict
the airflow required for safe and reliable operation of the
equipment. It is important to ensure that the 40°C (104°F)
maximum operating temperature for the equipment is not
exceeded.
WIRELESS NETWORK CONTROL CONNECTION:
WIFI:
A mobile, laptop or desktop device with WiFi functionality
and a web browser is required. Follow the steps below.
1. Connect the DLC amplifier to mains power using the supplied
mains cable and wait for the front panel WiFi indicator to
illuminate green.
2. Use a mobile, laptop or desktop device to search for available
WiFi networks. Connect to, ‘Theory (product serial number)’
using the password, ‘password’. The amplifier serial number
can be found on its rear panel.
3. Open a mobile, laptop or desktop device web browser and
enter the following IP address: 192.168.4.1. The amplifier
configuration web interface page will open in the browser
app to enable amplifier configuration as required.
It is strongly recommended that the DLC amplifier WiFi password
is changed following initial wireless connection.
WIRED NETWORK CONTROL CONNECTION:
ETHERNET:
A laptop or desktop device with Ethernet
functionality, a web browser and a network scanning app is
required. Follow the steps below.
1. Connect the DLC amplifier Network Control Ethernet jack to a
free jack on a network router or network switch using an
Ethernet cable.
2. Connect the DLC amplifier to mains power using the supplied
mains cable and wait for the front panel Network indicator
to illuminate green to indicate that the amplifier has been
assigned an IP address.
3. Use a network scanner app to identify the IP address assigned
by the network router to the DLC amplifier.
4. Open a laptop or desktop device web browser and enter the
IP address identified in the Step 3 above. The amplifier
configuration web interface page will open to enable amplifier
configuration as required.
