Audio Amplifier Output
The audio amplifier can output the same power at both 4 ohms and 8 ohms. The amplifier output power varies depending on the input power supply or PoE adapter connected to it, it does this by adjusting the internal gain to allow you to get most of the amplifier. Please ensure that you select the correct impedance option via the speaker impedance selection switch on the rear of the device.
Speaker Connections
The audio amplifier only supports Low Impedance (4-8ohm) speakers. It is necessary to configure the Speaker Impedance Switch as well as wire up the speakers according to the specific speakers you are using. Wiring examples for each of the available configurations are as follows:
Low Impedance (4/8ohm) Stereo Speakers:
Speaker Lo-Z Impedance Select: [0] = 4Ω, [1] = 8Ω
Speaker Lo-Z Connection Select: [0] = STEREO
Low Impedance (4/8ohm) Mono Speaker:
Speaker Lo-Z Impedance Select: [0] = 4Ω, [1] = 8Ω
Speaker Lo-Z Connection Select: [1] = MONO
RS-232 Control Command
The product also supports RS-232 command control. Connect the RS-232 port of the product to a PC with a 3-pin phoenix connector cable and an RS-232 to USB cable. The connection method is as follows.
