INSTALLING THE AMPLIFIER
The PAMP V2 Ampliers come with rack-mount ears and can be installed
in a 1U rack space.
Installing the PAMP V2 Ampliers in a rack:
1 Attach the rack ears to the sides of the amplier using the provided
screws.
Note: Rack ears can be installed to the front or the back of the
amplier as needed.
2 Install into rack and connect cabling.
CAUTION! To prevent damage, maintain adequate ventilation
space to the sides of the amplier. Ampliers can be stacked
vertically, but be sure not to place the amplier next to other
components or against the side of a cabinet. Doing so will block
ventilation openings.
ATTENTION ! Pour éviter tout dommage, maintenir un espace
de ventilation adéquate sur les côtés de l’amplicateur. Les
amplicateurs peuvent être empilés verticalement, mais veillez à ne
pas placer l’amplicateur à côté d’autres composants ou sur le côté
d’une armoire. Cela évitera de bloquer les ouvertures de ventilation.
CONNECTING THE AMPLIFIER
This device is designed to operate as part of the Control4 home system
which requires physical audio connections and connections in Composer
Pro to function as designed. This section describes how to set up the
physical connections required for the amplier and some of the devices
associated with it.
WARNING! Connecting speaker wires or input cables while the
amplier is powered may cause electrical shock and could damage
the amplier. Unplug the power cord before making connections.
AVERTISSEMENT ! Les ls se reliants de haut-parleur ou les câbles
entrés tandis que l’amplicateur est actionné, peuvent causer le
choc et pourraient endommager l’amplicateur. Débranchez le
cordon de secteur avant d’établir des rapports.
CONNECTING AUDIO INPUTS
The PAMP V2 Ampliers accept stereo line-level audio connections to their
inputs jacks. Each zone input will pass amplied audio to the respective
zone speaker output. Alternatively, each zone can be linked individually to
the GLOBAL IN (shared with input 1).
1 Connect the audio cables to the ZONE INPUTS (1-8) audio input jacks.
2 (Optional) Connect the audio cable to GLOBAL IN (input 1) and link
speaker outputs to the GLOBAL IN by moving the dip switch up for
that zone to the On position.
Note: The rst switch on LINK TO GLOBAL INPUT is
labeled ALL. Set this switch to On to link every output of the
amplier to GLOBAL IN (input 1).
3 (Optional) Connect an audio cable to the GLOBAL OUT to duplicate
the audio source connected to the GLOBAL IN and pass that audio to
another amplier.
CONNECTING SPEAKERS
The PAMP V2 Ampliers can power four (or eight) stereo zones of audio
and has phoenix-style terminal blocks for speaker connections. Speakers
can also be wired to bridge channels to increase the power available to the
speakers.
To connect stereo speakers:
1 Remove the speaker connector.
2 Connect speaker wire to the speaker connector and reinsert the
speaker connector into the amplier.
IMPORTANT! The common signal of these speaker outputs must
not be connected together or to any other common signal. Do
not connect the L – and R – (negative) terminals together. Doing
so will result in a fault condition and the amplier will either shut
down or not work properly.
CAUTION! Check the polarity of the speakers and wires before
connecting to the amplier.
ATTENTION ! Vériez la polarité des enceintes et des câbles
avant de brancher à l’amplicateur.
To connect bridged speakers:
1 Set the BRIDGE MODE dipswitch, if needed, for each zone by moving
the dip switch up for that zone to the ON position.
2 Connect + terminal from the speaker to the + terminal of the left
channel (L).
3 Connect the - terminal from the speaker to the - terminal of the right
channel (R) on the amplier.
In bridged mode, both amplier channels will output the same audio.
A mono source can be connected to the Bridge input to create a
bridged mono output, or a stereo source can be connected to two
Bridge inputs (using two zones) to create a bridged stereo output.
SETTING UP THE AMPLIFIER POWER MODE
The PAMP V2 Ampliers can be set up to automatically power on when
needed. The POWER MODE switch allows the amplier to be powered on
at all times, turned on with a 12V trigger, or turned on when an audio signal
is present at any audio input.
To set up the amplier to be always on:
1 Slide the POWER MODE switch to ON.
In this mode, the amplier will be always on unless the power cord is
unplugged or the power switch by the power cord is toggled off.

To set up the amplier to be controlled by a 12V trigger:
1 Slide the POWER MODE switch to 12V.
2 Connect the 12V trigger cable from the trigger device to 12V TRIGGER
IN.
3 (Optional) Connect 12V TRIGGER OUT to another amplier to link
their power control together.
In this mode, the amplier will turn on when a 12V signal is present on
the 12V Trigger Input jack. This 12V trigger input can be wired to the 12V
trigger output of a Triad audio matrix switch or a relay and contact on a
Control4 controller. See the Control4 Knowledgebase for more details
NOTE: All amplier zones turn on when a 12V trigger is received in
12V Power Mode.
To set up the amplier to be turned on by the audio sensing:
1 Slide the POWER MODE switch to AUDIO.
In this mode, the amplier will turn on when an audio signal is sensed on
the audio input.
NOTE: Only the amplier zone that senses audio will turn on when
in Audio Power Mode.
TROUBLESHOOTING
RESETTING THE AMPLIFIER
• Power reset—Remove the power cord and replace the power cord to
power cycle the device.
NOTE: If the amplier will not turn on, check the Power Mode
switch. Try changing the Power Mode switch to ON.
