5. Ampliﬁer installation

5.1. Unpacking and visual check

Every Lab.gruppen amplier is carefully tested and inspected before leaving the factory and should arrive in perfect condition. If any damage is discovered, please notify the shipping carrier immediately. Save the packing materials for the carrier’s inspection and for any future shipping.

5.2. Rack installation

IPD 1200 - Depth is 272 mm (10.7”) rack ear to back panel. Weight is approximately 4.6 kg (10.1 lbs). Rear support brackets are included and use is recommended in all applications.

IPD 2400 - Depth is 360 mm (14.2”) rack ear to back panel. Weight is approximately 6.2 kg (13.7 lbs). Rear support brackets are included and use is recommended in all applications.

5.3. Cooling requirements

Please ensure that there is sufcient space in the front and the rear of each amplier to allow for a free ow of air. No doors or covers should be mounted either in the front or rear of the ampliers. Ampliers may be stacked directly on top of each other with no spacing, though some spacing may enable more convenient installation of rear cabling. Refer to the Thermal Dissipation charts in Section 15.2 for thermal dissipation values when installing large numbers of ampliers in enclosed spaces.

IPD SERIES Operation Manual rev 1.0.0

6. Ampliﬁer connections

6.1. AC line input / operating voltage

All IPD Series ampliers have a universal power supply that operates on mains from 100 - 240 V at 50 or 60 Hz. The IEC receptacle on the rear panel accepts the supplied IEC cord which terminates in a connector plug appropriate for the country of sale. When AC power is connected, the amplier goes into standby (red indication on standby LED). The amplier may be turned on by pressing the front power button or remotely using the IntelliDrive Controller software.

Signal ground is oating via a resistor to chassis, and therefore grounding is automatic. For safety reasons, never disconnect the earth (ground) pin on the AC power cord. Use balanced input connections to avoid hum and interference.

6.2. Audio inputs

Analog inputs - Analog inputs are available on two standard XLR-F latching connectors. The inputs are electronically balanced. The impedance is 20 kohms, and the inputs can accept a maximum input level of +26 dBu. Polarity is as follows:

Pin 1 = screen (shield), pin 2 = positive (+), pin 3 = negative (-).

Analog links - Two latching XLR-M connectors are tted adjacent to the analog input connectors and are

paralleled to the respective input connectors; they provide an unprocessed analog loop-through signal to feed additional IPD Series units or other equipment.

AES3 inputs - A latching XLR-F connector accepts an AES3 digital audio signal. Input impedance is 110 ohms. Ensure that 110 ohm digital audio cables are used; standard XLR microphone cables are rarely suitable for reliable digital audio transmission.

Note: AES3 is a stereo digital format, and therefore both inputs are fed via a single connector. Selection of the analog or digital inputs is made via the front panel display or IntelliDrive Controller software.

AES3 link - A latching XLR-M connector is tted adjacent to the AES3 input connector. This is an active link which sends an unprocessed AES3 loop-thru to feed additional IPD units. The design requires no termination load when the unit is the last connected.

IPD SERIES Operation Manual rev 1.0.0

6. Ampliﬁer connections

6.3. Loudspeaker connections

Two types of power output connections are available on IPD Series ampliers: Neutrik speakON and binding post. Outputs for the two connector types are internally connected in parallel. Loudspeakers may be connected to both connectors at the same time; however, this is generally not recommended as total impedance may be too low.

Binding posts - Power outputs for loudspeaker connection are available on two fully enclosed binding posts. Observe signal polarity as indicated.

speakON conectors - Outputs for both channel 1 and channel 2 are available on a four-pole speakON connector to the left. The two-pole speakON to the right connects to output 2 only. See diagram for output connection and polarity.

Note: When connecting wiring to loudspeaker terminals, the installation shall be made by a knowledgeable technician or ready-made leads or cables shall be used.

No bridge mode - The IPD Series employs an inherently bridged Class D output topology; therefore, an alternate bridge mode output connection should NOT be used, even when only one loudspeaker (such as a subwoofer) will be connected. Under no circumstances should the IPD amplier connection be bridged, as this may cause undesired operating performance.

6.4. Network connection and conﬁguration (optional)

Connect the host computer for IntelliDrive Controller software to one or more IPD Series ampliers as shown in the following diagrams (See gures 1 and 2 following). No manual conguration of the network is required. IntelliDrive Controller automatically detects all IPD Series ampliers on the network.

Note: Direct connection from the computer to an IPD Series amplier may require a crossed cable or an MDI/X-capable network interface card. However, most newer laptop computers will work with a standard network cable and the built-in interface card.

Wireless control using a WiFi-equipped computer or an iPad may be enabled by connecting the IPD Series amplier(s) to a WiFi-enabled router. (See gure 3 following)

Important Note: Should the network connection be interrupted between the host computer (or iPad) and any ampliers, the ampliers will continue to function with no interruption of audio. However, no adjustments of levels or parameters will be possible using IntelliDrive Controller until the network connection is restored.

6.5. Network conﬁguration

Direct connection of one IPD to a host computer

An IPD unit may be connected directly to a computer using a straight cable. Because no DHCP server is present, the IPD unit will assign itself an address in the ZeroCong range. When the IPD unit has a self-assigned IP address, it will continue searching for a DHCP server; if the unit is later connected to a network and a DHCP server is detected, it will take its IP address from it.

If the user assigns a xed IP address by entering it manually (see Section 9.4.b.iii), this address will have the highest priority, and DHCP will not be used.

Connecting multiple IPD units to a network

Connection of multiple IPD units on a network requires use of a network router which also functions as a DHCP server. (Nearly all new routers offer this function). The router will automatically assign an IP address to each IPD unit on the network, unless an IP address has been assigned manually.

Note: An IPD unit will continuously broadcast its presence on the network, irrespective of its current IP address. Therefore, even if the current IP address is invalid on the network, the broadcast will continue. As a consequence, units that have a changed IP address may appear as duplicates in Global View, but will not connect. Re-starting IntelliDrive Controller normally will make the duplicate unit disappear.

IPD SERIES Operation Manual rev 1.0.0

8. Operation with default preset

An IPD Series amplier may be operated “out of the box” as a standard stereo amplier. For this application, there is no need to connect the network, download the software, or program a preset in the DSP. Default parameters are as follows:

Input mixer: Analog 1 and AES 1 routed to channel 1 Analog 2 and AES 2 routed to channel 2 Mode: Stereo Input levels: 0 dB Input EQ: Flat Output EQ: Flat Delay: Off Crossover: Off Output mute: On (muted)

In this mode, the unit will function as a “at” stereo amplier. The outputs may be muted and unmuted with the front panel buttons. The encoder knob functions as an output gain control, with level adjustable from -47.75 dB to + 12 dB.

9. IntelliDrive controller overview

9.1. Introduction

IntelliDrive Controller offers fast, intuitive and comprehensive access to the many DSP features offered by IPD Series ampliers. Although it is possible to program presets and alter existing presets using the front panel controls (See Section 14), most users will nd the process is easier and more accurate using IntelliDrive Controller. In most cases, the front panel controls are best reserved for changing presets or making minor level adjustments in circumstances where a control computer is not available or when network problems are encountered.

Note: This manual assumes the user is familiar with the basic principles of loudspeaker system DSP conguration, including multi-way loudspeaker system alignment, room tuning, and delay setting. If you are not familiar with these procedures, we recommend you consult a reference book or online source presenting a comprehensive treatment of the topic.

9.2. Global (System) View

The Global, or System, View presents a graphical representation of all ampliers connected to the network, indentied by IP address or user dened name. The Global View gives an at-a-glance overview of amplier groups and amplier status, including Mute status and output level meters.

10. IntelliDrive Controller Set-up and DSP Conﬁguration

10.1. Setting up and modifying ampliﬁer groups

Ampliers on the network may be set up in groups to allow easier monitoring of status and simultaneous conguration grouped ampliers.

Note: There is no group master control panel. When a group is formed, any change in any amplier’s Mixer control panel will affect all ampliers in the group, with resulting changes in functions and parameters determined by the specic group conguration.

Creating a new group - From Global View, at top right corner click/tap New Group button. Enter a name for the group and click/tap Okay. The new group will appear in Global View.

Setting up and modifying an existing group - In Global View, click/tap the SET-UP button for the group. This opens the Congure Group window.

1. Select desired Group Status

a. When Group is Enabled, any changes will affect units in the Group as determined by Group Type. When Disabled, any changes affect only the individual amplier unit selected.

2. Select Group Type

a. Carbon Copy - Parameters changed on any amplier in the Group will apply to all other ampliers in the Group by default. If exceptions are desired, click on Exceptions. In the Select Exceptions window, Active Links will be displayed. Use the drop-down tabs to add or remove parameters to be linked within the Group. b. Advanced Conguration - Click on Setup Links.

3. Description - Enter description of Group. This text is for reference only and does not affect operation in

any way.

4. Members - Click on Select to add or remove units from the Group. Amplier units may be assigned to more

than one group.

10.2. Device (Ampliﬁer) Set-Up

To set up an amplier for Operating Mode, Linked Devices and AES > Analog Failover, click/tap on the Mixer button for the amplier as shown in Global View. The Input Mixer tab is shown as the default view.

1. Operating Mode - Select stereo mode if the amplier will be driving two or more full range speakers with full

bandwidth signal. Select 2-Way if the amplier will be driving separate low- and high-frequency loudspeaker systems, either inside a bi-amplied cabinet or a separate subwoofer and full-range cabinet.

2. Linked Device - Select any Linked Device from the drop-down menu. This opens the Mixer window for the

selected device (any amplier on the network) without returning to the Global window.

3. AES > Analog Failover - Turn ON if both AES3 and analog inputs will be connected, and you wish analog

inputs to become active automatically if AES3 inputs fail. Set mix balance using faders in the mix window, and turn all mutes off (unmuted).

10.3. Input mixing

The Input Mixer tab allows any combination of the four input signals (analog 1 and 2, AES3 1 and 2) to be mixed and routed to the amplier input channels. In Stereo Mode, the default will mix Analog 1 and AES3 1 inputs to amplier input channel 1 at 0 dB; and Analog 2 and AES3 2 inputs to amplier input 2 at 0 dB. In 2-way Mode, the default will route Analog 1 and AES3 1 to Input 1. Control operation is as follows:

1. Channel label strip - Enter channel names using the keyboard.

2. Input mixer fader - Sets the level for the associated input. Alternatively, the level may be set using keyboard

entry of the desired level in the window below the fader. This fader sets the level going into the DSP section.

3. Input mixer level meters - Meters show input levels and include peak-hold indication.

10.4. Level, limiter and channel link setting

The Levels tab sets the input and output levels, limiter functions, channel link and phase (polarity) reverse.

1. To set Input or Output levels, click/tap on faders and drag to desired level. Alternately, use keyboard to

enter level values in the window below the fader on the keyboard. Input and Output levels are displayed on the associated meters; a peak-hold line shows above the instantaneous levels.

2. Limiter - The IPD is equipped with a built in limiter calculator that allows the user to enter the desired output

power at a given impedance. It is also possible to adjust the limiter by clicking/tapping the Limiter fader and dragging it to the desired threshold position, or by entering the desired Vpk or dBu value: a. V peak - Sets the peak voltage at the output to where limiter should take effect. b. Ohm - Enter the Nominal impedance of the loudspeaker for accurate display of Output Power (Watt). Default value is 4 ohms. A 2 ohm setting will result in lower allowed maximum power according to the

IPD SERIES Operation Manual rev 1.0.0

10. IntelliDrive Controller Set-up and DSP Conﬁguration

capability of the amplier. This setting avoids current clip, ensuring best possible sound when reaching the clipping threshold. Note: There is no auto-detection of the loudspeaker impedance; therefore, the user must set the proper impedance for an accurate reading of values on the other parameters. However, the function of the limiter is not affected by the nominal impedance entered. c. Watt - Sets the maximum output power before limiter action takes effect. d. dBu - Sets the maximum output in dBu before limiter action takes effect.

3. Limiter meter display - The display shows gain reduction with a peak hold line. Note: When limiting is active,

the peak hold line on the output meters changes to yellow to indicate peak limiting is in effect.

4. EQ DLY button - Click/tap to bring up the Input EQ tab for the input(s).

5. LINK button - Click/tap to link the two Input (Stereo mode only) or Output channels. When Link is active,

all settings in Channel 1 are automatically copied to Channel 2.

6. PHASE button - Toggles between PHASE NORMAL and PHASE REVERSE to reverse the phase (polarity) of

the output signal.

10.5. Input EQ and delay setting

1. Equalizer setting - Click/tap on the Input EQ 1 or Input EQ 2 tabs to bring up the parametric equalizer and delay

setting windows. Equalizer setting may be accomplished using any of three modes: a. Curve “handles” - Click/tap on any of the ten colored lter “handles.” Drag the handle by left clicking the mouse to create the desired equalization curve. For PC and MAC users, right click and move the mouse right and left to adjust the Q/Bandwidth. On iPad this is done by pinching around the “handle” with two ngers. Note: Default lter type is Bell. b. Slider setting - Click/tap the Edit button under the number of the EQ band to be modied. Use the Sliders to set the frequency, Q/Bandwidth, and Gain. c. Keyboard entry - Click/tap the parameter window and enter the desired value.

2. Filter type - Use the drop down menu to select the desired lter type: Bell, Notch, Low Shelf, High Shelf,

Band Pass, High Pass or Low Pass.

3. Filter tools - The following lter tools are available on the left side of the EQ display:

a. Full screen - Expands EQ window to full screen. b. Camera - Saves image of the EQ screen as a PNG le. c. Micro-adjustment mode - Enables very ne adjustment of curve parameters when using the “drag handles” mode of setting. Parameter values are displayed. d. Text tool - Displays the parameter values for all inserted lters.

4. Output Level metering for both outputs is displayed to monitor the effects of inserting the lters.

5. Delay - Use the slider to set the channel input delay, or use keyboard entry to enter the desired delay value in

the window. Note: Both input and output delays are provided for each channel. In stereo mode, the Input and Output settings are redundant. In 2-way mode, the Input delay may be used for longer delays for aligning remote delay loudspeaker systems with the main front system while the output delay may be used for aligning drivers within the loudspeaker cabinet or array.

delay. Features and operation are identical to Input EQ and Delay in Section 10.5.

2. Two-way mode - In two-way mode, the Output EQ window shows the crossover lters created in the X-Over

tab (See Section 10.7 following). Parametric output lters may be inserted as well for loudspeaker correction.

10.7. Crossover conﬁguration

Click/tap the X-Over tab to bring up the Crossover window. The following functions are available for each output:

1. High Pass Filter type: Use the drop-down menu to select from the available lter types. Abbreviations are L-R

(Linkwitz-Riley), But (Butterworth), and Bes (Bessel).

2. Low Pass Filter type: Same as above.

3. Corner frequency setting: Set the lter corner frequency by using the slider, keyboard entry of the frequency in

the display window, or dragging the “handles” on the display graph.

Output Level metering for both outputs is displayed to monitor the effects of inserting the lters.

10.8. Preset store and recall

Presets may be stored to the device and the host computer, and recalled from either the device or the host computer.

1. Device Store - Once a preset has been created, it may be stored to the device. It is recommended to rst

give the preset a name by entering it into the current preset name window. Click/tap on the STORE ON DEVICE button.

2. Device Recall - Select the desired preset from the drop-down list in the Preset Selection window. Click/tap

the RECALL ON DEVICE button.

3. Computer Store - Click/tap the STORE ON COMPUTER button. Store the preset le in the desired location.

(Default is to Documents folder.) It is recommended that the preset rst be given a name by entering it into the current preset name window and clicking Enter/Return. Then Click/Tap on the STORE ON COMPUTER button.

4. Computer Recall - Click/tap the RECALL ON COMPUTER button. Select the desired preset from the list of

available preset les and click/tap Open.

Caution - Recalling a preset while the amplier is online can cause drastic and potentially damaging changes in output level if output mutes are not engaged and faders are at zero attenuation. It is recommended that all presets be stored with output mutes engaged.

IPD SERIES Operation Manual rev 1.0.0

11. Updating ampliﬁer ﬁrmware

There are three ways to update rmware on IPD units; each method serves different purpose.

1. Global View/Tools/”Firmware Update All units”.

This updater allows simultaneous update of all IPDs connected to the network and has built in mechanisms that scan the version number of the units so that only those units with old rmware are updated. It also veries the process, repeats updating if some should fail, and summarizes the process once completed. This process takes a couple of minutes but is the safest way to update the IPD units.

2. Global View/Tools/”Enable Update”.

This updater displays a symbol in Global view which makes it easy to see if any unit is not up to date. A symbol appearing on the Amplier Control Panel is gray if rmware is up to date and orange if rmware is not up to date. If not up to date (orange) you can click the symbol to start the update. “Enable Update” also works as a recovery tool. If the rmware update somehow gets interrupted, e.g. through power loss in the middle of updating, the unit can end up in fault state. The Enable Update tool can, in most circumstances, reach the faulty unit and re-update the Firmware, bringing it back to normal.

3. From within the Mixer (Unit) View, click hardware/rmware update.

This update is for a single unit only and will force new rmware to the unit regardless of what rmware the IPD currently has. Using this tool, all presets are asked to be backed up and are automatically restored back to the unit once updated.

Important: A rmware update will erase all presets on the device. Before initiating a rmware update, be sure all device presets have been backed up using Backup Presets in the Hardware menu. After rmware update has been completed, restore presets using Restore Presets in the Hardware menu.

12. Operation with iPad App

The iPad App version of IntelliDrive Controller duplicates nearly all of the functions of the Windows version. Also, appearance of the user interface closely resembles that of the Windows version. However, because of signicant differences in the basic operating system, some differences apply, particularly regarding use of menu commands.

Note: Only one device running IntelliDrive Controller is allowed to access the network at any given time. If you wish to use an iPad as the controller, you must rst close the application on any Windows or Mac computer.

IPD SERIES Operation Manual rev 1.0.0

13. Third party control

Lab.gruppen IPD Series of ampliers can be controlled directly using any Telnet client software using the same TCP/IP network connection used for IntelliDrive Controller. (IntelliDrive Controller software need not be active or even installed on the host computer to enable third-party software control.) However, only limited control functions are available via third-party clients.

The available functions are:

- Levels/Gain

- Mute

- Standby

- Preset recal

- Locate (Ping)

For detailed information about third party control, please read “IPD Series Third Party Control Instructions” manual, to be found on the Lab.gruppen website.

14. Operation using front panel controls

14.1. Introduction

All individual amplier control and status functions available through IntelliDrive Controller are also available using the amplier’s own front-panel controls. It is also possible to create and save presets on the device using the front panel controls. However, because this process is much more time consuming and less precise, in most cases users will prefer using IntelliDrive Controller to create presets. The front panel control are best reserved to basic functions such as on/off, local mute, and preset recall.

14.2. Overview of procedures

All operations using the front panel controls follow the same basic procedure, using the same controls.

MENU button - The Menu button opens menu functions and steps forward through available functions and options in the currently selected main menu section.

BACK button - The BACK button steps back through the currently selected main menu functions.

ENCODER knob/push button - The encoder knob scrolls through all options or parameter settings available in the currently selected menu or sub-menu item. For example, the encoder may be used to scroll through available presets, adjust EQ parameters, set delay times, or scroll through conguration menu items. When a desired value, option or parameter is down, push down momentarily on the knob to enter into device memory as part of the preset.

For a detailed menu tree, please refer to Section 15.1.
