Channel Fault
Channel Thermal
Channel Clip
Signal Presence
Indicator Definitions:
Channel Fault – Indicates the channel has shut down due to protection circuits. Check to make sure the output on
that channel is not shorted. If all channels indicate fault, the power supply has gone into protection. No audio will be
passed until the fault is resolved.
Channel Thermal – Indicates channel is at or close to over temp. When dim, the channel will start to lightly limit the
output. When bright, the channel is heavily limiting the output.
Channel Clip – A red light indicates the channel is at the onset of audible clip on the output. Excessive clipping can
damage the speaker connected to the amplifier. If the LED is Amber, that indicates the channel is limiting.
Signal Presence – This indicator illuminates when there is -40db of input signal present on that assigned output
channel.
Channel Ready – Indicates the channel is ready to pass audio. If this indicator is off, the channel may be in standby
mode or the amplifier DSP is booting up.

CONNECTSERIESCONTROL & MONITORING
With our Web App UI, you are no more than three clicks away from anything.
First, from the broadest view, you get a clear status check of every amplifier connected to the network.
Therefore, you can see which amps are online/offline, whether they are powered on or in a standby
mode, a quick performance status to report any errors or faults and even more.
In addition, with one click, you can view the status of every channel on any given amp to quickly monitor
channel performance. Such as your output meter with a clip indicator, status indicators such as Ready,
Limiting, Thermal, and Fault, as well as a quick attenuation level view and channel mute button.
So then, with a second click, you can select an individual channel for control and monitoring. Lastly, with
a third click you are ready to start viewing and adjusting channel settings such as Input Settings, Signal
Generator, Crossover, Equalizer, Limiter, and Load Monitoring.
34dB and 26dB selectable input sensitivity
modes. In 34dB mode, the input sensitivity is
1.4 VRMS and allows you to achieve full output
in LowZ and 70V modes. In 26dB mode, the
input sensitivity is 2.0 VRMS and allows you to
achieve full output in 100V mode. These modes
are selectable in the input mode of the WebUI.
Priority Input Router:The input router
allows you to send any input to any output. You
can also send 1 input to multiple outputs or
multiple inputs to multiple outputs. Simply select
the input channel you would like to send to the
output.
Mutes:The channel mutes are located after
the input signal. This allows you to see if you
are still getting an input signal in the UI while still
being able to mute the signal that is going to the
output stage.
Lowz/HiZ Mode:The amplifier has a
selectable by channel LowZ/HiZ mode in the
web browser-based UI. If you have a low
impedance load, select the LowZ mode for that
channel. If you are running a 70V load, select
HiZ 70V. If you are running a 100V load, select
HiZ 100V. Based on your selection, the
amplifier will set the appropriate output voltage
and current for the LowZ or HiZ selection.
HiZ Mode High Pass Filter: When you
select HiZ mode, you will notice a High Pass
filter enabled by default at 80Hz. This is a user
adjustable filter so you can move the filter up or
down. This filter is to avoid 70V or 100V
speaker transformer saturation by not allowing
lower frequencies to pass through. This
pass filter is separate from the high pass filter in
the crossover section.
high
Smart Power Bridge: Smart Power Bridge
is a proprietary technology that allows you to
gain the benefits of a bridged amplifier output
without having to lose a channel like traditional
amplifiers. If you have our Connect Series 704
amplifier with a power rating of 700 watts per
channel, when you enable Smart Power Bridge,
you can get 1400 watts of output on that channel
and still have channels 2, 3, and 4 available.
With traditional amplifiers in bridge mode, you
use 2 channels. Smart Power Bridge gives you
the benefits of a bridged output channel without
sacrificing an output channel.
Channel Standby:Separate from auto-
standby, the channel standby feature allows you
to disable the output of a channel manually.
Internal Signal Generator: The signal
generator allows the user to send an internal
signal through to the output for testing and
verification purposes. The user can select
between Pink Noise, White Noise, or Sine
Wave. When in Sine Wave mode, the user can
select the desired frequency.
Low Pass Crossover Filters:The low
pass filter allows frequencies lower than the
specified filter frequency to the output. There
are 3 filter types available: Linkwitz-Riley, and
Butterworth filters up to 48dB per Octave.
High Pass Crossover Filters:The low
pass filter allows frequencies higher than the
specified filter frequency to the output. There
are 3 filter types available: Linkwitz-Riley, and
Butterworth filters up to 48dB per Octave.
is located after the crossover points and allows
the user to boost or reduce the gain by +/- 15dB
Output Polarity:This is a user adjustable
polarity setting after the crossover points
allowing the user to invert the output signal.
Delay:100milliseconds of delay is available in
the connect series amplifiers.
Parametric EQ Filters:8 user adjustable
parametric filters are available per channel.
Speaker Limiter:The speaker limiter
allows the user to set output voltage limiting
conditions in place to protect the speakers
attached to the output. VRMS limiter settings
prevent overheating while V Peak limiter setting
prevent the speaker form over exerting.
Amplifier Protection Limiter:In the
event the amplifier needs to limit the output to
protect itself, the amplifier protection limiter will
automatically enable itself. The amplifier
protection limiter can enable itself if the amplifier
is running in the upper limits of its’ thermal
capacity or if AC voltage drops below a
threshold where it can deliver full power to the
output. This is a factory setting meant to keep
the amplifier operating safely.
Realtime Load Monitoring:This feature
allows the user to monitor the load impedance of
any channel in Realtime. Once there is more
than 5 VRMS on the output, the amplifier will
automatically test the impedance of each
channel and report it’s reading in the web
browser-based UI.
Pilot Tone Monitoring:This is an
advanced feature that is intended to
inaudible tone through the output so the user
can monitor the impedance of the speakers
connected to the output without having to send
input signal.

Saving and Loading Speaker Tuning
Files:Saving speaker tuning files in the web
browser-based UI saves all the information in
the crossover, parametric EQ, limiter, and load
monitor section of the amplifier channel.
Loading speaker tuning files loads all of the
information into the crossover, parametric EQ,
limiter and load monitor section of the amplifier
channel.
Saving and Loading Amplifier

Universal Switch Mode Power Supply with PFC
The power supply we’ve designed for our Connect Series amplifiers is a single stage interleaved PFC
power supply. PFC and isolation stage (normally two separate power stages) merged into one stage with
this type of supply. Consequently, this makes the design smaller, more efficient and cheaper for the
power level.
the type of PFC we are using for LEA products is Active PFC. We chose Active PFC over Passive
because, Active PFC has many advantages over Passive PFC, such as:
1st – Provides universal input and produces a regulated output voltage.
2nd – Active PFC is smaller and lighter, more so as power goes up.
3rd – It’s able to achieve unity power factor across a wide load and input range.
4th – Active PFC can reduce input current harmonics.

emPower Change is our commitment to environmental sustainability and a call to action for the world. We
promise to emPower Change by minimizing our impact on the global environment. Every decision made
while designing and constructing our Connect Series amplifier family has been scrutinized to ensure that
we not only limit our own impact on the environment, but also provide our customers with the tools to limit
their personal impact as well.
Our Browser-Based Web UI emPowers users to Know More about the performance of their amps and
systems so that they can understand their impact and cut down on wasteful operations – ultimately
optimizing their systems performance while eliminating wasted energy consumption. We have decided to
Use Less materials by opting for digitally hosted user manuals opposed to printed and automated online
services such as ordering, training, and support. And we strive to Be Thoughtful whenever we approach
new opportunities and projects – such as our 100% recyclable Connect Series box design – so that we
can make deliberate decisions that support our sustainability goals.

Our commitment to emPower Change through
environmental sustainability is driven by three pillars of
action. We look to these pillars to guide us through the
uncharted waters of our bold goals and innovative
ideas:
Know More about our amps, systems, and
technologies so that together, we can efficiently
and effectively operate sustainable systems.
Use Less materials and energy to reduce
unnecessary waste.
Be Thoughtful about which materials we decide to
use and which companies we decide to partner with
to reduce waste and maximize sustainable efforts.
Welch Packaging is our local partner that we work closely with to design our recyclable box. Welch has
an impressive commitment to environmental sustainability through their Sustainable Forestry Initiative and
SFI Certification for responsibly sourcing cardboard among many other sustainable practices. We’re
proud to work together to create sustainable solutions.
Steelcase is a 100-year-old company that creates products for the workplace, schools, and healthcare
environments. Their sustainability philosophies run deep through their products and company culture with
hundreds of quality and sustainability certified products. Their recycled materials furniture is featured
throughout our office space.
Zollner Electronics is a leading manufacturer in technology, automotive and aerospace industries
among others. Their facilities undergo strict sustainability practices that have earned them ISO
Certifications for Environmental Management Systems and Energy Management Systems. Their
proactive approach to sustainability is a great fit for manufacturing our Connect Series amplifiers. We
regularly audit the manufacturing process to ensure our environmental impact is minimal.
Connect Series Sustainability
By purchasing this amplifier, you are joining us to emPower Change through environmental sustainability.
Go ahead and take a moment to feel good about yourself!
The amplifier itself is fully ROHS compliant and does not include any lead or other harmful chemicals
known to harm the environment.
The Connect Series amplifier is extremely efficient when being used. During normal use, the amplifier
averages over 90% efficiency meaning less than 10% of the AC power is being dissipated into heat. At
idle, the amplifier draws very little power when compared to traditional amplifiers. If the amplifier is
powered on but there is no signal sent to the amplifier, it will automatically go into Standby Mode reducing
the AC power draw even further. Another unique feature is when the amplifier is connected to a PoE
network, you can still control and monitor without AC mains being powered on. If you are controlling your
amplifiers from an external source, you can remotely power on and off the amplifier via the external I/O
connections. When remotely powered off in this manner, the amplifier greatly reduced the AC power draw
resulting in very little power demand when the amplifier is not in use.
Connect Series Retirement Plan
Our products are designed to emPower Change for the long haul. But when it comes time to retire a longtime workhorse, we’ve made the process easy for you and easy on the environment. Here’s what you can
