AMP-001-010 WyreStorm HDBaseTTM Class D Digital

Audio Amplier / Receiver / Extender

The WyreStorm AMP-001-010 is a unique HDBaseTTM

Class D digital audio amplier with receiving and repeating
functionality that fundamentally changes the way to approach
the design of multi-room audio-visual systems.

Fully cascadable (daisy-chained) over multiple 70m/230ft
distances up to 7 times using a single Cat5e cable to create
larger distributions. It also offers HDMI/HDBaseT reception
and pass-thru, 2.1 audio amplication with subwoofer and
stereo preouts for connection to an AVR and HDMI breakout
with bidirectional control of source/display from either

location via IR/RS232.... and so much more.

Feature rich and highly versatile, the AMP simplies,
combines and improves the relationship between HDMI,
HDBaseT and stereo audio for integrators by incorporating
3:1 audio switching from centralized AV sources and ARC or
local audio input.

FEATURES AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Employing a switching topology, the low voltage, energy
efcient digital Class D amplication delivers power to the
speaker load exclusively with very little power wasted in
operation. This increase in efciency has the main benet
of lowering heat dissipation and reducing the size of the
amplier assembly. If properly executed, most D-class
ampliers typically have a much smaller form factor and a
lower BOM cost than comparable Class-A/AB/B units.

In terms of installation, it can be used locally in-room as a
display device, remotely in-rack or centrally at any point in­line for one of the most exible and powerful applications of
HDBaseT technology to date.

The AMP-001-010 is the rst product of its kind and

represents WyreStorm’s innate understanding and

appreciation of the AV installation by continually pushing the
boundaries of what is possible to offer innovative products
that add great value to any residential or commercial
application, whatever the size or budget.

Connect an HDMI input (such as DVD, Blu-Ray,
PS3, Satellite, Cable, media server, computer etc.) to an
HDBaseT transmission source (such as a WyreStorm TX­1UTP-IR-70 transmitter or a MX-PP matrix solution).

Connect a good quality, well terminated Cat5e/6
cable of no more than 70m/230ft between the HDBaseT
output of the HDBaseT transmission device to the
HDBaseT Input of the AMP-001-010

Attention: 70m/230ft is the maximum

recommended transmission distance for this
classification of HDBaseT equipment and denotes
perfect transmission conditions - including straight

cable runs with no electrical interference, bends,
kinks, patch panels or wall outlets. If any of the
above are a factor in your installation, transmission

range may be affected – take care to avoid where
possible.

Connect the HDMI sink ( such as High Definition
LED/Plasma flat panel display or HD Digital projector) to
the HDMI Output of the AMP-001-010

Connect another well terminated and good quality
Cat5e/6 cable from HDBaseT output of the AMP-

001-010 to HDBaseT input of a WyreStorm HDBaseT

Receiver device ( such as an RX-1UTP-IR-70 receiver, or
another AMP-001-010)

Attention: The AMP-001-010 can be used as both

an HDBaseT repeater to extend the transmission
as well as a Receiver, with the inclusion of up to

7 units connected along a single cable run. As

such, an RX-1UTP-IR-70 receiver is only required
to extend the final leg of the distribution a further
70m/230ft, or if HDMI output and IR/RS232 control

only is required.

As before, connect the HDMI sink ( such as High
Definition LED/Plasma flat panel display or HD Digital
projector) to the HDBaseT Output of the HDBaseT
Receiver device.

Repeat process for all AMP-001-010 units installed along
your cable run.

For two way control of connected sources and
displays from either location, connect IR TX infrared
transmitter emitters to the IR TX ports of the HDBaseT
Transmitter devices and AMP-001-010.

Insert IR RX infrared receiver emitters into IR RX
ports of the HDBaseT Receiver devices and AMP-001-

010.

If using an RS232-based control system, insert
cables into the RS232 ports of devices to enable RS232
control signal transmission ( Default set for RS232).

Connect the AMP-001-010 to a mains power
source using the 18vDC power supply included.

Attention: The AMP-001-010 is capable of

Power-over-HDBaseT passthrough distances up

to 50m/164ft when used between PoH-enabled
devices such as a MX-PP-POH matrix or POH

transmitters and receivers.

The AMPs themselves will still require mains power
for operation but are able to passthrough power
from a PoH transmission device to a PoH receiver
to negate the need for mains power at the display
end.

Handset Operation

8. Basic Operation

For connection of local line level audio sources
(such as MP3 player, multiroom audio system, laptop/
desktop, smartphone/tablet, mixer, microphone etc)
connect a 3.5mm mini jack from the audio source to the
L/R port of the AMP-001-010

To connect stereo speakers directly to the AMP­001-010, insert evenly stripped, good quality copper
cable of adequate gauge into the SPEAKER spring
terminal connections of the AMP-001-010 with care
taken to insert wires into correct spring clips based on
audio signal polarity (+/+, -/-).
Ensure plastic insulation is undamaged and cable is
untangled, without bends or kinks that may interfere with
transmission.

Attention: Maximum output available 25w per

channel

For increased bass range, an active subwoofer can
be connected to the SUB OUT port of the AMP-001-010

For additional amplification, the AMP-001-010
can be connected to an external power amplifier or AV
Receiver (AVR) via the stereo AUDIO OUT ports.

Attention: In such cases where an AVR is

used, the SUB OUT of the AMP-001-010 should
be connected to the SUB Input of the AVR and
a subwoofer connected to the AVR. Likewise,
speakers should be connected directly to the AVR

rather than the spring terminal connectors of the
AMP-001-010.

Using the Audio Pre-Out you can connect the AMP to
a multi-room audio amplifier system or seperate power
amplifier, and expand beyond a basic stereo pair.

The AMP-001-010 can be controlled locally via the front
panel or remotely using the handset provided or an
RS232 third party control system.

Turn on the AMP-001-010 using the POWER switch
on the front panel – LED will indicate power status.

Select the AUDIO SOURCE by pressing the SELECT
button – LED will indicate selection

Toggle standby mode to power down unit when not
in use.

Toggle mute function temporarily disables audio

output

Bass Control button, enable/disable internal cross
over to route bass signals to sub pre-out or main speaker
output.

Source selection to output audio from the main
HDBaseT input, local input jack or ARC from locally
connected TV.

Attention: TV must have ARC function and be

connected to the relevant HDMI port

Increase/decrease main speaker volume. This does
not control the line level pre-out, this is a fixed output.

Adjust output level of subwoofer pre-out port.
