AZA Series

Owner's Manual

Introduction

The AtlasLED Atmosphere AZA404 and AZA804 are four-channel amplifiers that are designed to interface with the Atmosphere family of products, such as the AZM series of processors. The AZA amplifiers can be configured in three different configurations to meet the design requirements of any installation. These AZA models are factory preconfigured in a four-channel, 70V mode. If the design requires four channels of low impedance amplification, the AZA amplifiers can be configured as four-channel models with either 4Ω or 8Ω load impedances. Many system designs require both low and high impedance amplification. These AZA models can be configured to deliver 70V / 100V for a paging/background system on two (2) channels plus two (2) additional 4Ω or 8Ω amplifier channels for foreground stereo application.

These AZA models come standard with four (4) balanced line inputs and an accessory slot for an optional four-channel Dante™ receiver card (model DPA-DAC4), giving the AZA404 and AZA804 a total of up to eight (8) inputs. All inputs can be mixed and routed to any of the four amplifier channels. All four (4) amplifier channels have an assortment of advanced DSP tools.

AZA Series amplifiers feature either network control. The AZA series amplifiers include a windows-based AZA Amplifier IP Discovery Tool that automatically searches within a specific network for all available AZA amplifiers.

The AZA404 and AZA804 are ready to use, out of the box in four-channel, 70V mode, with no configuration or network connectivity required, making them ideal for use with AtlasLED Atmosphere Zone Controllers.

Front Panel

1. Power Switch

This toggles the amplifier between Active Mode or Sleep Mode.

2. LED Power Indicator

The AZA amplifier has three states of idle power that are indicated as follows:

A. Active Mode - When the LED outer ring of the power switch illuminates a steady blue color, the amplifier is in Active Mode and is ready to pass audio. This is AZA factory default shipping mode.
B. Sleep Mode - When the LED outer ring is Off, the unit is in Sleep Mode. In Sleep Mode, the Ethernet is active for access to the amplifiers on board UI while the amplifier output stage and DSP are Off. Audio will not pass in Sleep Mode.
C. Standby APD Mode - When the amplifier Auto Power Down (APD) feature is enabled and the amplifier is in APD mode, the LED outer ring will blink blue once every 5 seconds.

3. Operating Mode Indicators

Each AZA amplifier can be configured three ways. The LEDs in this area indicate the configuration of the amplifier. These indicators illuminate if Channels 1 / 2 and 3 / 4 are operated separately in 4Ω / 8Ω mode or 70V / 100V mode. Amplifier operation mode setting is completed using the internal DSP UI.

A. 4-Channel high impedance 70V / 100V mode
B. 4-Channel low impedance 4Ω or 8Ω mode
C. 2-Channel high impedance 70V / 100V mode & 2-Channel low impedance 4Ω / 8Ω mode

4. Channel 1, 2, 3, 4 Signal LED

The Signal LED will illuminate green if audio signal is present at that channel's output.

5. Channel 1, 2, 3, 4 Limit/Protect/Mute LED

The Limit/ Protect LEDs will illuminate red if one of the following conditions occurs:

A. Any channel of the AZA amplifier reaches maximum output power. The AZA features an adjustable amplifier OUTPUT limiter which helps prevent the amplifier from hard clipping. An occasional flash of the LED is OK but if the LED illuminates continuously reduce the amplifier's input level. If the Clip LED remains On after reducing the input level, recheck the load connected to the amplifier.

B. The OUTPUT has been muted in the UI.

C. A fault is detected within the amplifier. Once the fault is corrected, it may be required to reset the AC Mains power to reset the amplifier protect mode.

6. Air Exhaust

Each model includes convection cooling with dynamic fan assist for extreme conditions. If the unit is not being used or is in Standby mode, the fan is not needed for cooling and remains Off until the unit is in heavy use. As heat is generated in the amplifier during use, the fan activates at a low speed and increases as needed to keep the amplifier at safe operating temperature. This cooling method eliminates the need for air filters that can become clogged and require maintenance. The AZA amplifier's air flow is from rear to front.

Resetting the Amp to DHCP Mode

1. Remove AC power from the AZA amplifier and wait 1 minute.
2. Apply AC power, wait 3 - 5 seconds, then press and hold the front power button for 5 seconds. The power LED will illuminate solid, then all of the front panel LEDs will start to blink rapidly. Release the power switch. You are able to log in once the LEDs stop blinking.
3. DHCP will be reset and both the username and password will be reset to "admin". Note: The DSP settings will not be affected.
4. Follow standard login procedures.

Resetting the Login Username & Password

Follow the procedures above for "Resetting the Amp Back to DHCP Mode" During login enter 'admin' for both Username and Password. Note: At that time, you be prompted to change the password. Note: The Host Name will also be changed back to matching the model number.

Changing the Amplifier (Host) Name

The amplifier name is also known as the Host name. In most applications it is the same as the model number. There are applications where there can be several AZA amplifiers on the same network making it hard to identify. Each amplifier can have a custom name given to it making it easier locating it on a network. This is called the Host name. The Host Name can be changed in the AZA UI Home page Network Settings section. Changing the Host name is useful when using the AZA Amplifier Discovery Software.

Accessory Card Installation

The AZA404 and AZA804 offer four (4) additional inputs that can be routed to any of the four (4) output channels. The optional DPA-DAC4 accessory card offers 4-channels of Dante™ digital audio. Contact AtlasLED for a list of available accessory cards. Note: Accessory card installation must be done by a qualified technician.

1. Remove the AZA amplifier from the AC Mains source.
2. Remove the two screws (M3 x 8mm Pan Head Black) holding the AZA accessory blank panel.
3. Remove the ribbon cable from the cover plate.
4. Connect the accessory card to the ribbon cable by carefully aligning the ribbon cable connector to the mating PCB connector. Do not force. When aligned correctly the cable will mate easily.
5. Carefully guide the accessory card into the slot without forcing the PCB or cable.
6. After the card is inserted and the accessory panel is flush to the chassis, align the two (2) screws holes and secure them using the M3 x 8mm screws.

Installation and Considerations

Cabling - These amplifiers can be used with either balanced or unbalanced sources, provided the proper cabling is used. A balanced line is defined as two-conductor shielded cable with the two center conductors carrying the same signal but of opposite polarity when referenced to ground. An unbalanced line is generally a single-conductor shielded cable with the center conductor carrying the signal and the shield at ground potential.

Balanced Input - Use 20 - 22 gauge, 2-conductor shielded wire for low level signals. Maintain the proper polarity, + to +, - to - and shield to ground. For unbalanced signals using the phoenix connector, connect the (-) pin of the amplifier input to the GND center pin and the (+) pin to positive.

Speaker Outputs - Use 2-conductor unshielded wire of the appropriate gauge. The AZA Series is approved for Class 3 wiring. Contact AtlasLED Tech Support at 1-800-876-3333 for questions regarding wiring.

Placement And Mounting - Turn off all equipment before making connections. The amplifier can be mounted in a standard width 19" rack. It can be mounted above or below anything that does not generate excessive heat. Although the unit's chassis is shielded against radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic interference (EMI), extremely high fields of RF and EMI should be avoided.

Ventilation - The amplifier should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with proper ventilation. For example, the AZA Series amplifiers should not be situated in a sealed cabinet or on a shelf with obstacles that may impede the air flow through the ventilation openings.

Heat - The DPA Series amplifiers should be installed away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce excessive heat. Ambient temperatures should not exceed 113°F (45°C)

Notes:

1. Power level measurement is defined as follows: 1KHz Sine wave signal burst of 20 cycles (20mS) at 1% THD+N, followed by 480 cycles of a 1kHz sine wave at 10% of the max power. Other power measurements are available upon requests.
2. Power measurement with Ethernet connected. Without Ethernet connected deduct 0.2W
3. Average Power is defined as Pink Noise input signal applied to achieve 1/4 of the 4 Ohm or 70.7V power rating.
4. Max Power is defined as 1 KHz input signal applied to achieve the maximum power output before clipping into a 4 Ohm or 70.7V load.
5. BTU is calculated by the AC Mains Power consumed minus the total power output measured at the specified load and condition, multiplied by 3.412. Example: 785 Watts from the AC Source - 600 Watts Total Output power = 185 x 3.412 = 631 BTU
