• One 400 watt bridged channel into 8 ohms or 16 ohms

NetPA U 2002 SB User Guide • Introduction 1

• ENERGY STAR qualified amplifier with defeatable auto-standby and fast wake

up — The NetPA U 2002 SB is an ENERGY STAR qualified amplifier and energy efficient product that conserves energy and reduces cost. It meets ENERGY STAR qualification requirements with an auto-standby feature which automatically places the amplifier into Standby Mode after 25 minutes of inactivity thereby dramatically reducing power consumption. It quickly returns to full power status in less than 100 ms upon signal detection, with minimal inrush current. Auto-standby can be disabled if required.

• Single and dual rack-mount hardware included — The included single and side-by-

side rack-mount hardware simplifies planning and saves cost.

• Integrated DSP — The NetPA U 2002 SB has a 6x6 mix matrix which provides

essential DSP processing including level control, filters, dynamics, ducking, and delay.

• Convection cooled, fanless operation - can be stacked without extra rack

space for ventilation — The NetPA U 2002 SB does not require internal fans or vents for cooling, ensuring quiet and reliable operation. It generates substantially less heat than conventional power amplifiers, making it ideal for rack-mount applications where space is limited (see Rack Mounting Ventilation Recommendations on page7).

• Extron Patented CDRS - Class D Ripple Suppression — CDRS is an Extron

Patented technology that provides a smooth, clean audio waveform and an improvement in signal fidelity over conventional Class D amplifier designs. CDRS eliminates the high frequency switching ripple that is characteristic of Class D amplifiers, a source of RF emissions which can interfere with sensitive AV equipment such as wireless microphones.

• Remote control and monitoring —

• Control and monitor the NetPA U 2002 SB amplifier directly through the RS-232

port.

• Control the NetPA U 2002 SB amplifier through a DMP Plus or XMP processor over

a Dante network.

The NetPA U 2002 SB meets UL 2043 for smoke and heat release for installation within a plenum airspace above a drop ceiling when used with the optional Flexible Conduit Adapter Kit. Above-the-ceiling placement conceals the amplifier to prevent theft, and is convenient for installing equipment when space inside the room is limited.

• Professional grade signal-to-noise and THD+N performance — The NetPA U

2002 SB delivers professional grade performance, featuring 100 dB signal-to-noise ratio and THD+N of less than 0.1%.

• Ultra low inrush current at power up - no need for power sequencing —

Allows multiple NetPA U 2002 SB amplifiers to be powered on simultaneously without overloading power circuits. This eliminates the need for power sequencing.

• Power factor correction - removes harmonic content on AC line — The NetPA

U 2002 SB features power factor correction technology that smooths out the high peak currents of the amplifier’s current draw thereby minimizing the presence of high frequency harmonics on the AC power line and preventing audible artifacts from being transmitted to other audio equipment in the system.

• Automatic clip limiter — Detects actual onset of clipping. Gain is automatically

reduced without audible artifacts to protect speakers from clipping distortion.

• Multiple protection circuits — Activate during output shorts, thermal overload, or DC

faults to prevent damage to the amplifier and speakers.

NetPA U 2002 SB User Guide • Introduction 2

• Remote standby port — Enables the NetPA U 2002 SB to be remotely powered

down when not in use, reducing operating cost.

Installation

This section describes the installation and setup of the NetPA U 2002 SB power amplifier. Topics include:

• Mounting the NetPA U 2002 SB Amplifier

• Rack Mounting

• Flexible Conduit Adapter Kit Installation

Mounting the NetPA U 2002 SB Amplifier

The NetPA U 2002 SB amplifier can be mounted in a rack using the included rack ears, mounted on a rack shelf, set on a table or mounted in the plenum space above a ceiling-mounted projector. Also, two amplifiers can be connected using the bridging plate to create a full rack-width unit.

Tabletop Use

Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included. Attach one foot at each corner on the bottom side of the amplifier and place the unit in a desired location.

UL Rack Mounting Guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of the equipment in a rack.

• Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment is installed in a closed

or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (TMA = +32° F to +122° F (0° C to +50° C)/ 10% to 90%, noncondensing) specified by Extron.

• Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so the amount of air flow required

for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

• Mechanical loading — When mounting the equipment in the rack, ensure uneven

mechanical loading does not cause a hazardous condition.

• Circuit overloading — When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider

the effect circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.

• Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted

equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, using power strips).

This LED flashes amber when an “Identify Device” request is sent to the unit via Dante Controller, and the Link Indicator LED located on the rear panel blinks green. Once the cycle has been completed, the LED returns to normal.

NOTE: Power indicator LED may light amber for a short time after the removal of AC

power. This is normal.

Channel Status LEDs

NetPA U 2002 SB

Over Temp Indicator — A single LED that lights red when the amplifier has exceeded

the maximum recommended operating temperature. The amplifier recovers once the unit has sufficiently cooled down (see Troubleshooting on page105).

Channel Status LEDs — Two rows of two LEDs on the NetPA U 2002 SB that

represent amplifier channels.

• Limiter/Protect LED — This LED lights red when the channel is in protection

mode, which is triggered by any of the limiter protection circuits such as:

• When the channel is in an overload situation.

• When the output short circuits.

Remote Ports — (see figure16 on page17) Connect a 3.5 mm 3-pole captive

screw connector to the RS-232 port to remotely monitor and control the unit. Connect a 3.5mm 2-pole captive screw connector to the standby port to remotely place the amplifier in standby mode (see figure 16).

STANDBY mode is activated when the Standby pin is connected to the G pin. Standby mode turns off all the outputs, although the amplifier still receives power. The power LED on the front panel lights amber when the amplifier is in Standby mode.

The amplifier enters Standby mode when one of the following happens and are prioritized, in order, as follows:

• Activation of the remote standby port (done by shorting the STANDBY pin to the

ground pin).

• Through the ‘PSAV’ SIS command, or through DSP Configurator (accessed via

Tools>Configure Standby Settings).

• After 25-minutes of inactivity.

NOTE: The inactivity timer can be disabled, and the standby pin and SIS Command

can continue to force the unit into standby mode (see Force standby on on page93 in the SIS Command section to learn how to force standby mode).

Do not tin the wires!

Go to AT Port on page19 for more details on this port.

Speaker Outputs — (see figure16 on page17) Connect one 4-pin, 5 mm captive

screw connector for up to two channels of speaker output. Each port has a screw ﬂange to secure the plug to the connector. Observe the correct polarities for each channel as shown below.

ATTENTION:

• You must use Class 2 wiring for this output to comply with UL requirements.

• Vous devez utiliser le câblage de classe 2 pour cette sortie an de vous conformer

aux exigences UL.

• Do not tie channel output pins to each other or to ground. Doing so will short out

the outputs, damage the amplifier, or both.

• Ne pas lier les sorties 1 et 2 des canaux entre elles ou à la terre. Les sorties

pourraient être court-circuitées et/ou l’amplificateur pourrait être endommagé.

• To avoid risk of damage to the amplier or the speakers, always check that low-

impedance speaker loads (4 Ω/8 Ω/16 Ω) and high-impedance speaker loads (70 V/100 V) are appropriately wired to the amplier for the desired mode.

• Pour éviter les risques de dommages à l’amplicateur ou aux haut-parleurs,

vériez toujours que les charges de haut-parleur à faible impédance (4 Ω/8 Ω/16 Ω) et les charges de haut-parleurs à haute impédance (70 V/100 V) sont correctement câblées à l’amplicateur pour le mode souhaité.

To wire the speaker output, do the following:

Each port has a screw flange to secure the plug to the connector. Follow the instructions below to configure the rear panel for the NetPA U 2002 SB:

• For stereo modes, connect a 4-pin, 5 mm captive screw connector for two

channels of speaker outputs. The port has a screw flange to secure the plug to the connector.

• For mono modes, connect the same 4-pin, 5 mm captive screw connector but wire

only the middle speaker output pins for a single channel of speaker output (see

figure20 on the next page to learn how to wire the speaker output).

prevent an excessive amount of signal from being passed to the speaker before the amplifier can be properly configured.

• Standby timer is enabled and unit is not

in standby.

• Unsolicited response status monitoring

is disabled.

• Attenuation blocks are unmuted and

set to -24 dB for amplified outputs, 0 dB for line and AT outputs.

NetPA U 2002 SB User Guide • Operation 21

AT Port

The NetPA U 2002 SB supports 2 AT inputs and 2 AT outputs (these are not shared with the analog line outputs). Audio coming in from the mic/line inputs can be placed onto the Dante network, and the AT outputs can be received by any other device as long as it’s using the Dante protocol. The port supports bi-directional channels of 24 bit/48 kHz digital audio.

NOTE: The AT port can be set to 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, or 96 kHz, however the

signal going through the DSP is converted to and processed at 48 kHz.

The AT port allows latency to be set per device at 1.0 ms, 2.0 ms, or 5.0 ms.

Dante Controller provides control and configuration to the entries listed below. However, Dante Controller is not limited to the entries.

• Dante channel routing

• Dante channel naming

• Dante reboot

• Device naming

• Setting network master clock

• Get network and device Dante status

• Set DHCP mode and device IP address

NOTE: For applications where the line and Dante outputs may be used independently during long

periods of no ampliﬁer activity, such as when the unit is being used as both an ampliﬁer and off/ on-ramp to the Dante network, the auto-standby timer must be disabled and the amp must not be forced into Standby mode.

• Setting sample rate to one of the

following frequencies:

• 44.1 kHz

• 48 kHz

• 88.2 kHz

• 96 kHz

Standby Modes

The amplifier may be placed into 3 standby modes through SIS, DSP Configurator or a control system. The unit may also be forced into standby through the rear panel contact closure.

To change the Standby settings via DSP Configurator:

Navigate to the Tools menu and select Configure Standby Settings, then make your selection to change the settings.

Standby Modes

• Disable Auto-Standby Timer = Mode 0
