AXYS® Intellivox 808/1608 Installation Manual Rev 1.1

2. INTRODUCTION

This manual describes the recommended installation procedure for the AXYS® Intellivox DC (DDC2.0) and DS (DDS) range of loudspeakers, Models DC/DS 808 and 1608.

The AXYS® Intellivox is a type of loudspeaker known as an active DSP-controlled loudspeaker array, which utilises the principle of mounting multiple, individually-driven loudspeaker drive units in the vertical plane at specific spacings. All the Intellivox models covered by this manual consist of two components: the column loudspeaker unit and a mains-powered multi-channel power amplifier which includes a Digital Signal Processing (DSP) section.

The DC/DS 808/1608 models have been specifically designed for applications where a high SPL is required, and/or an extended audio frequency response suitable for high quality music reproduction is desirable.

This manual describes the following aspects of an installation:

Necessary cabling

Connector wiring

Mechanical installation

After installation, the amplifier and loudspeaker should be tested for basic functionality using the supplied AXYS® WinControl software; the manual also

describes this procedure. (Note that full configuration and control of the loudspeaker is beyond the scope of this manual; this topic is fully documented in the WinControl Help files.)

APPLICABLE MODELS, AND VARIANTS

This manual applies to the following AXYS® Intellivox models*:

Intellivox-DC808 and DC1608

Intellivox-DS808 and DS1608

Note that later serial numbers are equipped with an input board with Phoenix in stead of WAGO connectors. This manual describes the WAGO

version (early serial numbers). The Phoenix input board is used from the following serial numbers:

Ivx-DC808 : 011600013

Ivx-DC1608 : 011700010

Ivx-DS808 : 010700016

Ivx-DS1608 : 010800036

The DC/DS808 loudspeaker unit is fitted with six 6.5” lo/ mid-range drivers and two 1” hi-frequency compression drivers. The DC/DS IntelliAmp supplied with these models has 8 separate audio channels.

The DC/DS1608 loudspeaker unit is fitted with fourteen 6.5” lo/mid-range drivers and two 1” hi-frequency compression drivers. The DC/DS IntelliAmp supplied with these models has 16 separate audio channels.

The DS models use a different DSP algorithm from the DC models. This difference may be ignored for the purposes of installation and commissioning.

3. INSTALLATION GUIDE

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

Before starting to install the Intellivox loudspeaker, a number of points should be considered.

It is assumed that the installation site has been the subject of an extensive DDA investigation or optimisation prior to the actual install. (DDA = Digital Directivity Analysis, the AXYS® proprietary simulation and optimisation software for these products*). This procedure will have identified the optimum physical location for the Intellivox loudspeaker, to accurately achieve the desired acoustic coverage. In particular, the “acoustic centre” position will have been specified, in terms of height above the finished floor. The installer should confirm that he/she has this information.

Unlessspecified otherwisebythesoundsystemdesigner, the Intellivox column should be installed at a position exactly perpendicular to the listening plane (i.e. vertical if the floor is horizontal). Unlike conventional loudspeaker systems, minor mechanical misalignment may lead to degraded coverage and intelligibility. Ensure (by use of a levelling device such as a spirit level) that the surfaces to which the mounting brackets will be attached are absolutely vertical and in the same plane, and that all the individual fixing holes are themselves in the same plane.

The only electrical connection to be made to the

Intellivox loudspeaker is the multicore cable from the amplifier. Consideration should be given to its cable route and also to ease of rear access to the connector. The Harting connector is quite large and allowance for its size needs to be made when preparing the mounting location.

The separate IntelliAmp is intended to be mounted in a standard 19” rack; this should be as near as practical to the loudspeaker column. The standard speaker cable supplied is 5 m in length, but longer versions, up to 25 m, are available to special order; please contact JBL for more information. The amplifier operates from 230 V as well as 115 V AC mains; a suitable AC mains outlet will be required at the rack location. The outlet must be on a circuit able to supply the

full-load current and the maximum short-term in-rush current drawn by the amplifier. Refer to the datasheet supplied for the actual figures specific to the model being installed. The third terminal of the mains outlet must be connected to a proper safety ground. Local safety regulations may require a separate mains distribution network or an uninterruptible mains power supply (UPS).

OPTIONAL CONNECTIONS

fig.3 - Connections

In addition to the mains supply and the multicore cable to the loudspeaker, some or all of the following cables will need to be run to the rack location. The necessity for each of these will have been determined by the system designer; the installer should ensure that he/she has these details to hand. All wiring details can be found on pages 9-15.

Network connection: the IntelliAmp is configured, and may also be monitored, from a PC running AXYS® WinControl software. With all installations it will be necessary to upload the correct settings for each unit (loudspeaker/amplifier combination) to obtain the desired acoustic coverage. Once this has been done, there is strictly no longer an operational need to have the IntelliAmp connected to a PC because all

*Authorised electro-acoustic consultants or ‘build & design’ sound contractors can apply for a DDA License free of charge. This license can be obtained through our website at http://www.duran-audio.com/

settings are stored locally within the unit’s memory and in the event of a power failure will be automatically reloaded on power-up. The system designer will have determined whether a permanent network connection needs to be provided. This will be the case if the Intellivox is to be monitored remotely during normal operation. Otherwise, the network wiring can be omitted, but consideration should still be given to the amplifier’s location with regard to ease of both initial and future access for a PC connection. It may be appropriate to install network wiring in order to provide a network access point at a location more easily accessible than at the rack. A cable with two individually foil-screened twisted pairs should be used. Details of suitable cables can be found at page 23.

Audio inputs: the IntelliAmp accepts line level audio (0 dBV)*. Two separate transformer-balanced audio inputs are provided; however, units are shipped with only input 1 active. Input 2 can be made active via WinControl.

Fault monitoring: if network monitoring is not to be used, a simple surveillance function may be realised by means of the IntelliAmp’s ‘failure detect’ volt-free relay. This connection requires a 2-core cable.

Ambient Noise Sensing: the DSP section of the IntelliAmp incorporates an autogain algorithm which can adjust the gain of the system in response to changing ambient noise levels. If this feature is to be used, an external ambient microphone (available as an option**) should be connected if specified by the system designer. Standard screened twocore microphone cable should be used for this purpose.

Frost protection: The IntelliAmp is equipped with a frost protection system which activates an internally generated pilot tone if the ambient temperature drops below a predetermined threshold. The frost protection threshold can be set using WinControl. If this function is required, an external ambient temperature sensor (available as an option**) should be connected with screened two-core cable (or similar) for its correct operation.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION OF THE AMPLIFIER

The IntelliAmp is designed to be mounted in a standard 19” equipment rack. The front panel is fitted with rackmount ears for this purpose. The IntelliAmp occupies 3U of vertical rack space.

Note that due to the weight of the amplifier, the use of additional rear supports is strongly recommended. The rear of the unit has additional

mounting points to facilitate this.

Ventilation

The IntelliAmp is forced-air cooled by two internal temperature-controlled fans. This ventilation method should ensure that the amplifier remains within its operational temperature range under most circumstances, but if it is to be installed in a location of high ambient temperature, and/ or in a rack containing a significant quantity of other heatgenerating equipment (see below), consideration should be given to climate-controlling the room in which the equipment rack is situated.

Do not install the IntelliAmp in a 19” rack immediately above or below another item of equipment generating a significant amount of heat (e.g. another power amplifier). Plain 1U blank panels

should be used as spacers. Note that slotted or perforated ventilation panels should not be used, as these will reduce the effect of forced-air cooling. Also, be aware of the rear- to-front direction of airflow of the IntelliAmp ; it is not good practice to install equipment employing forced-air cooling with different directions of airflow in the same enclosed rack.

Airflow is via the grilles at the rear (intake) and front (exhaust) of the amplifier. Ensure that both sets of grilles are completely clear of any obstructions within 100 mm (4”) in order to maintain the

necessary airflow.

See page 16 for details regarding the mechanical installation of the loudspeaker enclosure.

*The IntelliAmp may be ordered with alternative input modules which accept signals directly from 70/100 V distribution systems. Two modules are available: a) with one normal 0 dBV balanced line level input and one 70/100 V input, b) with two 70/100 V inputs. These options need to be specified at the time of ordering. See page 22 for order codes.

**Note that the optional external ANS microphone is combined with a temperature sensor in a single unit (JBL Order Code 97661101). If both functions are required, the use of 2-pair screened cable is recommended.
