1kHz +/- ½ (100Hz)

1kHz +/- 50Hz = 950Hz to 1,050Hz

The higher the Q setting the narrower the frequency range affected by the gain setting, while a

lower Q setting increases the frequency range affected by the gain setting at each EQ frequency.

The frequency response can be visualized as a tall, skinny building with a high Q value or a tall,

wide (or pyramid shaped) building with a low Q value. The peak (or height of the building) at the

center frequency is set by the Gain setting.

2.5.6.5 Configure a Multi-Channel Amplifier

Use the Control4

Composer Pro System Design and Connections views to add and configure a Multi

Channel Amplifier. This device provides eight (8) stereo inputs and outputs with full audio switching.

Note: In Release 1.8 and later, the Multi-Channel Amplifier does not work with ZigBee Pro. Configure

this device with Ethernet.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the Multi Channel Amplifier is installed as directed in the Control4 Multi Channel Amplifier

Installation Guide available on the Control4 Dealer website.

To add and configure a Multi Channel Amplifier:

1. Start Composer and connect to a Director.

2. Click System Design.

3. In the Composer Pro, System Design view on the project tree, select the room where the Multi

Channel Amplifier resides.

4. In the Items pane > My Drivers tab > Audio/Video > Amplifier > double-click Multi Channel

Amplifier - 16 to add the object to the project tree.

5. In the Connections view, click the Network tab to make the necessary network connection. To do

this, select the Amplifier object, and then click the Identify button.

IMPORTANT: Two (2) amplifier objects appear for identification. The amplifier can be identified

either by IP or by ZigBee. The amplifier can communicate with the Control4 system either using

the TCP/IP network or via the ZigBee network. Identify it on the network you want to use for

communications. Do not identify it on both the IP and the ZigBee networks.

Note: If using a TCP/IP network and the latest shipping version of this device, you can set this

device to either DHCP Client (default) or a client that uses Static IP. To change this setting, see

the LCD screen menu on the device.

6. In Identify mode, go to the physical Multi Channel Amplifier, and press the Select dial to identify

the Multi Channel Amplifier to the Control4 system. After the device is identified, click Close.
