and device- and load-monitoring capabilities. AudiaFUSION features an 8-channel modular amplifier, 16x16 I/O via CobraNet® and DSP with support for channel-to-channel and device-to-device failover. AudiaFUSION can support up to 8 amplifier cards that are individually software configurable from 100-600 watts for up to 2400 watts of power, with software-selectable 70V, 100V and low impedance outputs per card. Intuitive software provides audio system design via PC and allows easy selection, viewing and calibra ...

Setup and Use The Audia software provides the interface for configuring and programming AudiaFUSION. The information supplied by this manual relates to hardware installation, physical connections, and device and channel failover concerns. For more details on software setup, please consult the Audia software Help File. Figure 1. Front Panel System Indicators The LED indicators on the front panel provide information about the function and operational status of the AudiaFUSION chassis and any installed AM-600 amplifier modules. Columns one through eight correspond to the eight amplifier module slots. The remaining LEDs correspon ...

Signal 1 is a tri-color LED that indicates audio signal presence on the channel. Green indicates that the audio signal level is between -50 dBFS and -3 dBFS, amber indicates a signal level between -3 dBFS and 0 dBFS, and red indicates clipping. Signal 2 has no function at this time and is in place for possible future use. Chassis Indicators Alarm is a two-color LED that illuminates when a chassis fault has occurred. Two types of chassis faults can be reported, depending on the severity of the problem. Amber indicates a Warning, which means that some aspect of the AudiaFUSION chassis is not performing within normal specificati ...

Figure 3. Rear Panel Layout Serial Control Port After initial programming and configuration, AudiaFUSION may be controlled by third-party control systems such as AMX® or Crestron® using the Serial Control Port. External devices may also be controlled or signaled via the Serial Control Port by utilizing Command String blocks within the Audia system design. The port is a DB9 female with pin 2 [RXD], pin 3 [TXD], and pin 5 [GND] connected. AudiaFUSION is an RS-232 DCE device. The default settings are 38400, 8, N, 1, None. The baud rate is adjustable in the Audia software using the Device Maintenance dialog window. The other seri ...

Please note that CobraNet limits network extensions to seven hops (one-way transmissions) within a network. The primary and secondary CobraNet ports are redundant. Each connector provides two LEDs that indicate Ethernet link and network activity (see table below). Table 1. CobraNet interface status LEDs AM-600 AM-600 is the Amplifier Module card. An AudiaFUSION chassis can be populated with up to eight AM-600 cards. Output Use the yellow plug-in barrier strip connectors to connect loudspeaker level outputs. If stranded speaker wire is used, be sure to incorporate all strands into the connector, as stray strands can short to th ...

Amplifier-to-Amplifier Failover AudiaFUSION supports one-to-one automatic device failover in case of fault. Failover is triggered by one of the following conditions: Chassis alarm • Channel alarm • Loss of power • Loss of CobraNet link • Loss of Logic I/O • Only alarms (e.g., heat sink alarm and channel failure alarm) trigger the failover mechanism. Warnings indicate abnormal system conditions that do not immediately impair audio and do not trigger the failover mechanism. The redundant amplifier must have the same configuration as the primary amplifier (i.e., amplifier module count, watts per module, load configuratio ...

Channel-to-Channel Failover In addition to entire amplifier failover, AudiaFUSION supports channel-to-channel failover, which is triggered by one of the following conditions: Heat Sink alarm • Short Circuit alarm* • Channel Failure alarm • The wire failover link cable is not required when wiring channel-to-channel failover. The redundant channel can be wired in parallel to the existing speaker line (shown above) or connected to a redundant speaker line. The primary amplifier module will resume control after the fault condition is cleared and the unit is re-powered. OUTPUT Class 2 Wiring AM-600 OUTPUT Class 2 Wiring AM-600 ...

To determine the AC line current draw and heat output for the configuration, start by finding the total power for the configured AudiaFUSION chassis. Then refer to the column that describes the type of audio levels the amplifier will be producing. If your configuration uses more amplifier modules than the number shown, add 0.1 amps and 37 BTU for each additional module in the chassis. For each additional AM-600 used in a chassis adds 37 BTU or 10 watts to the heat output. For 230 VAC, multiply the current by 0.5. * Burst mode only. Protective limiting will reduce long-term ...
