DPA Series
Digital Power Amplifiers
Introduction
The AtlasIED DPA amplifier series features a combination of flexibility, performance and control to provide high value features for
applications that require more than just great sound. The network based DPA602, DPA1202 and DPA2402 are DSP controlled 4-channel
amplifiers that can be configured in three different amplification arrangements to meet the design requirements of any installation.
These DPA models are factory preconfigured in a two-channel 70V mode. If the design requires four channels of low impedance
amplification, the DPA amplifiers can be configured as 4-channel models with either 4-Ohm or 8-Ohm load impedances. Many system
designs require both low and high impedance amplification. These DPA models can be configured to deliver 70V / 100V for a paging /
background system on a single channel plus two additional 4/8-Ohm amplifier channels for a foreground stereo application.
™
These DPA models come standard with four balanced line inputs and an accessory slot for an optional DPA-DAC4 4-channel Dante
receiver card or a DPA-AMIX (2) mic / line, (2) AUX input card, giving the DPA602, DPA1202 and the DPA2402 a total of 8 inputs. All
inputs can be mixed and routed to any of the four amplifier channels. All four amplifier channels have an assortment of DSP tools
including level controls, EQ’s, limiters, high & low pass filters, and delay to provide flexibility for a range of applications.
DPA Series amplifiers feature either local or network control making them a true “game changer” with amplifiers in the commercial
audio world. The output level can be assigned to either the front panel potentiometers or to the on board GUI. Wired remote level
control and input select can be configured to allow simple control for the end user. Each unit also features GUI based input and output
level metering along with assignable mute functions that are triggered via an audio signal or contact closure. Access to the DSP
settings is accomplished via computer, tablet or mobile device using a web browser. All settings can be password protected.
The DPA series amplifiers also include PC based site manager software that automatically searches within a specific network for all
DPA amplifiers on the network. It will list them and allow a single click access to any unit. The DPA Site Manager software can do a
variety of functions besides locating IP addresses such as; fault reporting, input & output status, standby status and remote activation
via a scheduler timer.
The DPA602, DPA1202 and the DPA2402 is ready to use, out of the box for two channel 70V / 100V mode, with no configuration or
network connectivity required making them a cost effective solution even for applications that do not require processing or network
control.

This toggles the amplifier between Active Mode or Sleep Mode. Refer to section “Understanding the 3 Amplifier Idle States”
2. LED Power Indicator
The DPA amplifier has three states of Idle power that are indicated as follows:
A. Idle Active Mode - When the LED outer ring of the power switch illuminates a steady state blue color, the amplifier is in Active
Mode and is ready to pass audio.
B. Sleep Mode - When the outer ring LED is Off, the amp is in Sleep Mode. In Sleep Mode, the Ethernet is active for access to the
amplifiers on board GUI. The amplifier output stage and DSP is off. Audio will not pass in Sleep Mode.
C. Standby APD Mode - When the amplifier Auto Power Down (APD) is enabled and the amplifier is in the APD mode, the LED
outer ring will blink blue once every 5 seconds.

3. Operating Mode Indicators
The DPA 19" rack models are four-channel amplifiers that can be configured three ways. The LED’s in this area indicate the configuration
of the amplifier. These indicators illustrate if Channels 1/2 and 3/4 can be operated separately in 4/8Ω mode or if they are combined
making a 70V / 100V output. Amplifier operation mode setting is completed using the internal DSP GUI.
A. 2-Channel High impedance 70V / 100V mode
B. 4-Channel Low impedance 4Ω or 8Ω mode
C. 1-Channel High impedance 70V / 100V mode & 2-Channel Low impedance 4/8Ω mode
4. Channel 1, 2, 3, 4 Signal LED
The Signal LED will illuminate green if audio signal is present at the Output of the amplifier.
5. Channel 1, 2, 3, 4 Limit/Protect/Mute LED
The Limit / Protect LEDs will illuminate Red if one of the following conditions occurs.
A. Any channel of the DPA amplifier reaches maximum output power. The DPA features an adjustable amplifier OUTPUT limiter
which helps prevent the amplifier from hard clipping. An occasional flash of the LED is OK but if the LED illuminates
continuously reduce the input level of the amp. If the Clip LED remains On after reducing the input level, recheck the load
connected to the amplifier.
B. The OUTPUT has been Muted in the GUI.
C. A fault is detected within the amplifier. Once the fault is corrected, it may be required to reset the AC Mains power to reset the
amplifier protect mode.

7. Air Exhaust
Each model includes convection cooling with dynamic fan assist for extreme conditions. If the unit is not being used or in Standby
mode, the fan is not needed for cooling and remains Off until the unit is in heavy use. As heat is generated in the amplifier during use,
the fan activates at a low speed and increases as needed to keep the amplifier at safe operating temperature. This cooling method
eliminates the need for air filters that can become clogged and require maintenance. The DPA amplifier’s air flow is from rear to front.

Accessing the GUI Control Panel
DPA amplifiers include a unique set of features and configurations. All DPA amplifiers are configured from the factory out of the box
to operate as traditional commercial power amplifiers. Ethernet connectivity is not required for operation of a DPA amplifier. However,
to take full advantage of the DSP settings such as, EQ, High & Low Cut filters, level control / assignment and limiter settings, the DPA
Control Panel must be accessed via the network or local computer. External software is not required to operate the DPA amplifier; the
software is embedded onto the amplifier in what is called the web browser GUI Control Panel interface. To access the onboard control
panel, follow one of the five methods listed below.
Accessing the GUI Control Panel
I. Direct Connection via Ethernet
II. Web Browser via Network Router
III. AtlasIED DPA Site Manager Software
IV. Smartphone or Tablet
V. Accessing the DPA Outside the Local Network
I. Direct Connection via Ethernet
Use this method if there is no network access available.
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from a laptop or desktop computer to the Ethernet Input on the DPA amplifier. Most computers will
allow direct connection from the DPA amplifier using a standard CAT5 cable. Some older computers may require the use of a
Crossover cable to connect to the DPA amplifier. If a connection cannot be made using a CAT5 cable, use a Crossover cable.
2. Turn OFF the computer’s Wi-Fi.
3. Open a Web browser, AtlasIED suggests using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
4. In the Web Browser address bar, type in the following: http://DPA602 and hit enter. For this example we are connecting to the DPA
model DPA602. An example is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1
5. Out of the box the amplifier’s model number is all that is needed to connect. It is not case sensitive, but the full exact name is
required. Note: During configuration, the amplifier’s name can be changed. As an example at a school the amp may be renamed
“ROOM1”. After the name is changed, follow the same process to log onto the amp as outlined above, but change the name from
“http://dpa602” to “http://room1”.
6. The amplifier will be discovered and the DPA User PC Control Page will launch after pressing the “Enter” key. An example of the
DPA User PC Control Page GUI web page is shown in Figure 2.
