Introduction

The Atlas Sound DPA-102PM two channel compact amplifier features a combination of flexibility, performance and control to provide

high value features for applications that require more than just great sound. The web enabled DPA-102PM has an assortment of DSP

tools including level controls, EQ’s, limiters, high & low pass filters, delays and summing to provide flexibility for a range of applications.

To make the DPA-102PM a “game changer” the advantages of on board DSP are combined with an integral web server allowing

remote control of DSP functions and levels as well as output level and status monitoring of any DPA amplifier on the network.

The DPA-102PM is “ready to use, out of the box” with no configuration or network connectivity required and is a cost effective solution

even in applications that do not require processing or network control..

Features:

• 2 x 100 Watt Class-D Amplifier Technology

• No Computer Required to Use

• Fully Configurable DSP Signal Processing

• iPhone™, iPad™, & Android™ Controllable

• Ethernet Network Connectivity

• Network Auto-Discovery Software

• Remote Monitoring of Status & Levels

• 1RU by

1. Activation Switch

This switch turns the amplifier On or puts it into standby mode.

2. Power LED

The power will illuminate steady Blue when the power switch is pressed. This indicates the unit is active and will pass audio.

3. Channel 1 & 2 Clip LED

The Clip LEDs will illuminate Red if either channel of the DPA-102PM reaches maximum output power or if a fault is detected within

the amplifier. The DPA-102PM features an adjustable limiter circuit 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.

4. Channel 1 & 2 Signal LED

The Signal LED illuminates Green if audio signal is present at the input of the amplifier.

5. Channel 1 & 2 Level Control

Channel 1 & 2 Level Control are enabled out of the box as the factory setting. Using the network GUI, the front panel controls can

be disabled allowing level control only through the network. If the front panel level controls are used, the knobs can be removed and

replaced with the included security covers to prevent tampering.
