Power Amplifiers PC-series

17.1. Overview

By combining the powerful 20×8 input matrix functions of the PC-D/DI series amplifiers with Dante I/O, the versatility of any system can be dramatically increased.
Not only can the PC-D/DI’s input matrix function be an auxiliary matrix that expands the entire system, but by allowing direct audio signal input from other analog devices or Dante-equipped devices even in systems without additional mixers or DSPs, even more flexible routing becomes possible.

17.2. "Project" sheet

This is the sheet on which devices are placed. When placing devices, the Settings screen shown below is displayed.

For details on the parameters, refer to "Speaker Processor" component editor of the "ProVisionaire Design Component Guide" .

17.2.3. Properties Area

This area allows you to display and edit device information. The following section explains “Input Source Redundancy”.For other settings, refer to the PC series instruction manual.

Input Source Redundancy
The PC series has two redundancy modes: "Backup Mode" and "Override Mode".

Input Source Redundancy is a function that is independent from the Dante network redundancy function.

Redundant Mode

Backup
If the input audio on a primary line (Dante 1 to 4) is cut off due to a problem such as an input device failure, the line will automatically switch to the backup line (Dante 13 to 16, Analog 1 to 4).

Override
When audio input from a backup line (Dante 13 to 16, Analog 1 to 4) is detected, the detected signal will automatically interrupt the audio on the primary line (Dante 1 to 4). This allows for broadcast interruptions, such as high-priority emergency broadcasts and site-wide announcements.

In either mode, the backup lines can be set up in two tiers, and the channel combinations are fixed.

PRIMARY SOURCE	2nd SOURCE	3rd SOURCE
Dante IN 1	Dante IN 13	Analog IN 1
Dante IN 2	Dante IN 14	Analog IN 2
Dante IN 3	Dante IN 15	Analog IN 3
Dante IN 4	Dante IN 16	Analog IN 4

Auto Return
- In Backup Mode
  When this option is turned on, the input source will automatically switch back to the primary line when the primary line is restored.
- In Override Mode
  When this option is turned on, the input source will automatically switch back to the primary line when the audio from the backup line falls below the threshold.
Dante 1 to 4
- Input Source checkbox
  Set whether to enable (on) or disable (off) the backup lines at each tier. The backup lines can be set up in two tiers, and the channel combinations are fixed.
- Override Threshold
  For Override Mode, set the input level threshold for each channel to determine whether an interrupting input signal is present.
- Auto Return Delay
  When Auto Return is turned on in Override Mode, set the time from when the interrupt input signal ends until the line switches back to the primary line.

17.8.4. "User EQ/User Delay" component editor

EQ graph
Shows a graph of the EQ effect.
You can drag a control point to edit the parameters.
[Band Select] buttons
If a button is selected, the current value is shown in "EQ," below. For bands whose "EQ" [BYPASS] button is on, the indicator below that [Band Select] button is lit.

For details about other parameters, refer to the "ProVisionaire Design Component Guide" .

17.8.5. "Speaker Processor" component editor

「PEAK LIMITER」/「RMS LIMITER」

This is not shown if the corresponding jack is set as a high-impedance connection such as 70V or 100V.

[ON] button
Turns the limiter on/off. If the button is off, the limiter will be bypassed.
Gain Reduction indicator
This will light when the threshold value is exceeded.
[Threshold] knob
This specifies the threshold value at which the limiter applies, in terms of output power (W).
[Attack] knob
Specifies the speed at which the limiter will take effect.
[Release] knob
Specifies the speed at which the limiter will release.
"GR" meter
Indicates the amount of gain reduction.
[Impedance / Unit] knob
Specifies the nominal impedance of the speaker.
Even when connecting multiple speakers in parallel, specify this as the impedance of one unit.

For other information, refer to the "ProVisionaire Design Component Guide" .

17.8.6. "Amplifier" component editor

BRIDGE [ON] button
If this is enabled, the amp will be in BRIDGE output mode.
In BRIDGE mode, adjacent odd-numbered and even-numbered channels are bridge-connected to operate as a high-power amp.
CHANNEL SLEEP [ON] button
If this is enabled, the amp of that channel will sleep. By putting unused channels to sleep, you can conserve electrical power and reduce excessively high temperatures.
This is different than the Auto Sleep setting in the "Properties" area of the "Project" sheet.
"LOAD MONITORING"
Here you can make settings for monitoring the speaker output impedance in order to determine whether the output has been interrupted by an electrical short, breakage, or speaker malfunction. By outputting a pilot tone, the impedance can be detected in a stable manner without relying on the audio signal output.
This is not shown for channels that are specified as a Hi-Z connection.
- [ON] button
  Switches LOAD MONITORING on/off.
- OSCILLATOR [ON] button
  Specifies whether a pilot tone is output.
  A pilot tone from an external input can also be used to detect the impedance.
- OSCILLATOR [Level] knob
  Specifies the output level of the pilot tone.
- IMPEDANCE [Detection Freq.] knob
  Specifies the frequency for which impedance is detected. The [Impedance] field below shows the measured impedance.
- IMPEDANCE [High Threshold] knob/indicator
  Specifies the upper threshold of impedance that is measured. If the specified value is exceeded, it is determined that the speaker has malfunctioned, and the indicator will light.
  If the specified value is exceeded, it might be that the connection is open, such as due to a broken cable.
- IMPEDANCE [Low Threshold] knob/indicator
  Specifies the lower threshold of impedance that is measured. If the measurement drops below the specified value, it is determined that the speaker has malfunctioned, and the indicator will light.
  If the measurement drops below the specified value, it might be that the resistance has dropped due to a shorted coil, etc.

17.8.7. "Speaker Out" component editor

This shows the speaker output jack’s output voltage and output current.

[AMP PROTECT] indicator
This will light if the protection function of the PC unit itself is operating.
[AMP LIMIT] indicator
This will light if the limiter of the PC unit itself is operating.
[PEAK LIMIT] indicator
This is lit if the peak limiter within the speaker processor of the PC unit is operating.
[RMS LIMIT] indicator
This is lit if the RMS limiter within the speaker processor of the PC unit is operating.
[Voltage] meter
Shows the output voltage as Peak and RMS.
[Current] meter
Shows the output current as Peak and RMS.
