DESCRIPTION Congratulations! With buying an Electro-Voice PRECISION SERIES power amplifier you have chosen an appliance that employs the most advanced technology. P-Series power amps combine outstanding audio performance, highest reliability and operational stability. Each power amplifier employs an RCM-24 Remote Control module allowing centralized configuration, control and monitoring of all relevant power amp parameters (like output current, output voltage, load impedance, etc.). The gaple

DESCRIPTION Next to controlling and monitoring, the RCM-24 Remote Control module provides comprehensive signal processing functions. It includes a total of 20 parametric filter–, X-over functions, delays, routing and level control as well as compressors and limiters per channel. All parameters can be freely edited and stored in the module’s 8 user presets. Independent from network control all DSP-settings (filter, delay, level) are maintained in case of failure. Additionally, the control inp

FRONT VIEW Use the POWER switch located in the centre of the front panel to switch the appliance’s power on. The soft-start function prevents current inrush peaks on the mains, which in addition prevents the mains line protection switch from activating during power-on operation of the power amplifier. The loudspeaker outputs are activated via relay switching with a delay of approximately 2 seconds effectively attenuating eventual power-on noise. The PROTECT LED lights during the delay time a

REAR VIEW INPUT A / INPUT B The inputs INPUT A & INPUT B are electronically balanced offering an input sensitivity of +6dBu (1.55V) for direct connection of mixing consoles, etc. Connection can be established via the XLR-type input connectors or the supplied screw-on connectors, which are connected in parallel. The pin-assignment of the XLR-type input connectors is according to the IEC 268 standard. In case floating inputs are needed, retrofitting optionally available input transfo

REAR VIEW RS-232 INTERFACE The RS-232 interface is for connecting media control systems as well as building management systems providing control and monitoring of all parameters. Communication is established via an easily to implement ASCII- protocol allowing trouble-free integration of Remote Amplifiers in media and touch panel control systems. For a programmer’s guide and complete protocol description, please re- fer to the documentation accompanying the IRIS software. ADDRESS The addre

REAR VIEW The STATUS LED provides optical indication of CAN-bus traffic. When the power amplifier’s address is set to “00” so that it is separated from the CAN- bus, the STATUS LED blinks every 3 seconds. When the power amplifier’s address is set between “01” and “250” and no CAN-bus activity has taken place yet, the LED blinks every second. As soon as CAN-bus communication is recognized, the LED is activated for at least 100ms whenever the power amplifier actively sends data on the CAN-b

REAR VIEW LIMITER The integrated limiter provides reliable protection against signal clipping and has a switchable time constant. Leaving the switch set to SLOW is recommended for general use (factory pre-set status). When using the power amplifier as Mid/Hi power amp employed in active multi-way systems, setting the limiter switch to FAST is recommended. When using the power amplifier as low-frequency woofer power amp employed in active multi-way system

CABLING LF-CONNECTION CORDS Choosing balanced cables (two conductors for the audio signal plus separate shielding mesh) with XLR-type connectors is recommended for LF-signal connection. Although connecting unbalanced cables to the power amplifier inputs is possible as well, using balanced cabling is always preferable. A great number of today’s audio appliances employ balanced outputs. With balanced cabling, the shield connects all metal enclosure parts and thus efficiently elimi

NETWORK EXAMPLES The following diagrams show examples of the data-bus wiring for different order of size: System with 5 amps and one UCC1 / PC at the beginning of the bus Terminators at the UCC1 (first unit on the bus) and at amp 5 (last unit on the bus) System with 2 amp-racks and an UCC1 / PC in the middle Terminators at amp 6 (first unit on the bus) and amp 12 (last unit on the bus) 12 13

NETWORK EXAMPLES System with several amp-racks and several UCC1 / PCs UCC1s anywhere on the CAN-bus Terminators at amp 10 (first unit on the bus) and amp 16 (last unit on the bus) Next to the CAN-bus signal, network cabling also carries the balanced monitor audio signal for monitoring the power amp inputs and outputs. This monitor-bus allows software-controlled monitoring of the input and output signals of all power amps that are included in the remote network, without the need for ad

CAN-BUS The CAN-bus allows using different data rates, with the data Baud Rate Bus Length rate being indirectly proportional to the bus length. Small 500 kbit/s 100 m networks allow baud rates up to 500kbit/s. 250 kbit/s 250 m For sizable dimensioned networks reducing the baud rate (minimum 10kbit/s) is necessary. 125 kbit/s 500 m The integration of repeaters is generally recommended 62.5 kbit/s 1000 m when the bus-length exceeds 1,000m. 20 kbit/s 2500 m 10 kbit/s 5000 m CABLE SPECIFI

MAINS OPERATION & RESULTING TEMPERATURE MAINS OPERATION The following tables allow determining power supply and cabling requirements. The values of the column „Max. Output @ 4 Ω” are relevant for “normal” operation. These values are based on operating the power amplifier with VDE-noise at 1/8 of the maximum output power, which approximately equates the load of the power amplifier being operated with a music signal at maximum volume possible, without noticeable clipping.
