INTRODUCTION AND CONTENTS AMD SERIES The AMD P series of power amplifiers from Australian Monitor represent a quantum leap forward in connectivity, controllability & flexibility in the constant voltage amplifier market. The AMD series allows contractors to integrate the power amplifier to third party control systems for remote control and status reporting. The AMD series amplifiers also offer the flexibility of comprehensive on board DSP processing and 24VDC back up power.

A mains cable to suit your region is provided with your Australian Monitor amplifier. The amplifier may be isolated from the mains supply with the mains switch provided. All models are internally fused.
INSTALLATION Unpacking Every Australian Monitor product is tested and inspected before leaving our factory and should arrive in perfect condition. When opening the carton check for any noticeable damage to your Australian Monitor product. Please notify your Australian Monitor reseller immediately should any damage be discovered. Should you ever need to re-ship the amplifier, always use the original packaging carton and materials.
SOFTWARE APPLICATION Main Screen The Main Screen provides an audio matrix for setting up the amplifier input and output relationship, signal level meters and various amplifier status indicators. The audio matrix provides amplifier inputs on each row and amplifier outputs on each column. A 2x2 matrix is presented when connected to 2 channel amplifiers and a 4x4 matrix is presented when connected to 4 channel amplifiers. By default all models are configured 1:1 with input 1 routed to output 1, and so on.
SOFTWARE APPLICATION Crossover / EQ The Crossover / EQ block allows the user to enable and adjust crossover and EQ functions for each amplifier output channel. The crossover block provides High Pass, All Pass and Low Pass filters with adjustable frequency and filter types. The EQ section provides Low Shelf, High Shelf and 4 Bell (parametric) filters with adjustable Frequency, Gain and Quality Factor (Bell only). Delay The Delay block allows the user to apply a fixed delay to an amplifier output.
SOFTWARE APPLICATION Output The output block allows the user to trim the output level of each amplifier channel. Mute and Phase Invert controls are also provided. A signal level meter provides real time indication of the audio output for the relevant output channel, displayed in dBFS. Choose Device Type The device chooser dialog is presented when the software application is first launched, or when defining a new configuration (File/New on the main menu).
SOFTWARE APPLICATION Go Online The Go Online dialog is presented when selecting Device/Go Online from the main menu, or when selecting the Go Online button at the bottom left of the main page. Once initiated, the auto discovery mechanism will search for AMD P Series amplifiers connected to the wired network. The user may connect to a discovered device by selecting the device in the Discovered Devices window followed by pressing the Connect button.
THIRD PARTY CONTROL PROTOCOL Third party control is supported via two physical interfaces: 1. RS-232 serial port 2. Ethernet port The AMD P Series amplifiers provide third party communications when the amplifier is placed in the power saving mode. RS-232 PORT INFORMATION Baud Rate Data Bits Parity Stop Bits Duplex Flow Control 19,200 8 None 1 Full None RS-232 Packet Structure The serial protocol is an ASCII protocol. All characters in the string are ASCII characters.
THIRD PARTY CONTROL PROTOCOL Packet Header The header for each packet is 10 bytes in length and consists of the following: UInt16 ProtocolId = 0x5E03; UInt16 SubType = 0x0001; UInt16 SequenceNumber = 0x0001 to 0xFFFF; UInt16 Reserved = 0x0000; UInt16 ChunkLength = Length (in bytes) of data after this header The Protocol field differentiates this packet from others with a similar format for other products. The value is specific to the AMD P Series amplifier.
THIRD PARTY CONTROL PROTOCOL Command: Channel Input Cross Mix Level (PCML) This command is used to get/set the level of an input to an amplifier channel. %PCML:xyzz Where x is output channel to select (between 1 and 4) and y is the input channel (between 1 and 4). For volume parameters, the zz section of the command can range between 0x00 (muted) and 0xE1 (225 = +12dB of gain). This allows half dB steps, where 1 = -100dB, C9 (201) = 0dB and E1 (225) = 12dB. e.g.
THIRD PARTY CONTROL PROTOCOL Command: Channel Output Level (PLVL) This command is used to get/set the level of an amplifier output channel. %PLVL:xyy Where x is output channel to select (between 1 and 4). For volume parameters, the yy section of the command can range between 0x00 (muted) and 0xE1 (225 = +12dB of gain). This allows half dB steps, where 1 = -100dB, C9 (201) = 0dB and E1 (225) = 12dB. e.g. %PLVL:1C9 sets the level of amplifier channel 1 to unity. e.g.
THIRD PARTY CONTROL PROTOCOL Command: Standby Mode (PGRN) This command is used to get/set whether or not the amplifier is in Standby (power-saving) mode. In this mode, the amplifier is shutdown. This parameter operates in a logic OR fashion with the rear panel Standby input. If either the rear panel input is active or this parameter is active, Standby mode is active. %PGRN:xx If xx = 00, then Standby mode is de-activated and the amplifier operates as normal. If xx = 01, then Standby mode is activated.
