PANNELLO POSTERIORE / BACK PANEL

1) POWERLED: this white Led can only be remotely turned on and off in order to identify the loudspeaker.

2) ETHERNET

ETHERNET PORT1: Ethernet port, to be connected directly to the computer or the access point.

ETHERNET PORT2: Ethernet port for the connection to any other device equipped with the iMode technology.

3) USER INTERFACE

The “Home” button can be used to set the input settings to the “Home” or “default” configuration. To do this you have to press it (you will see the LED under it switching on) and hold it for about three seconds, then you’ll see the “PROTECT.” and “TEMPER.” LEDs switching on, this means that the input has been reset to the factory default (group and single box input Eqs, delays, gains, etc...). The input sensitivity and selection (analogue or digital) and the network settings are not changed.

The “Home” button can be used also in case of network problems (see the “Troubleshooting” paragraph in the “Network Setup” pages).

SEGNALAZIONI

NET 1 and 2: these Leds are blinking when a cat 5 cable is connected to the relative port and is working properly, this is useful in order to check if the cat 5 cables are broken.

PROTECT: Lighting of this Led indicates that the amplifier had reach a too high temperature and that, in order to avoid permanent damage, has been temporary switched off.

TEMP: Lighting of this Led indicates the achievement of a high temperature of amplification module. The prolonged use of device in these conditions causes the intervention of protection.

LIMIT: Lighting of this Led indicates the achievement of maximum transducers' power handling and the resulting limiting of the signal. The DSP module is equipped with a dual RMS and peak limiter per output channel.

INPUT OVL: Lighting of this Led indicates that the input signal is too high. It is necessary to lower the input level, in order to avoid distortions.

SIGNAL: Lighting of this Led indicates the presence of input signal.

POWER ON: Lighting of this Led indicates that the loudspeaker's module is powered on.

4) AUDIO CONNECTORS

ANALOG/DIGITAL INPUT: XLR female connector for input signal. Plug to this connector the cable coming from the signal source. The signal can be analogue or digital (AES/EBU), remotely selectable.

Pin 1: shield

Pin 2: in-phase signal (HOT)

Pin 3: phase-inverted signal (COLD)

ANALOG/DIGITAL LINK: XLR male connector for the interconnection of several devices with the same input signal. If the digital input is selected, then the link presents a re-generated signal.

5) POWER SUPPLY

MAINS INPUT: powercon connector for power supply.

FUSE: Fuse holder. In case of break of fuse replace it with another of equal value and type.

MAINS OUTPUT: powercon connector to power a second device.

INSTALLAZIONE / INSTALLATION

If the system is used outdoors provide adequate protection in case of rain.

MAINS POWER CONNECTIONS

Flysub 15 iSP is supplied with a three-conductor cable; the Green-and-Yellow wire of the mains cord must always be connected to an installation Safety Earth or Ground. This is necessary even in case of cable extension, adjustment to existent mains outlet etc.

The Earth is essential for personal safety as well as the correct operation of the system, and is internally connected to all exposed metal surfaces.

WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

THE PRODUCER DISCLAIMS ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY NON-OBSERVANCE OF THIS NORM.

To facilitate the wiring there is a connector (MAINS OUT), on the back panel which allows you to take the voltage to power a second loudspeaker. Do not connect more than two cascaded FLYSUB 15 iSP loudspeakers.

MAINS VOLTAGE

Flysub 15 iSP has an automatic power supply voltage selector. Where this is varied, it is necessary to replace the protection fuse, accessible from the back panel (FUSE).

THE PRODUCER DISCLAIMS ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY NON-OBSERVANCE OF THIS NORM.

AUDIO CONNECTIONS

Flysub 15 iSP has a electronically balanced input and use a XLR female connector (ANALOG/DIGITAL INPUT SIGNAL). To facilitate the connection of other systems with the same input signal there is a XLR male connector (LINK) internally connected in parallel to XLR female connector.

For unbalanced signals use pins HOT (signal phase) and GND (ground).

Disconnect the device from the mains power supply before changing the connections.

COMUNICAZIONE DI RETE / NETWORK COMMUNICATION

MAC ADDRESS: (assigned)

The connection to the PC must be made through the network (ETHERNET) with RJ45 connector, using standard CAT 5 network cables.

The connection to the iPad or iPhone requires the construction of a wireless network. Therefore, it will be necessary to use a wireless router (not included), that can also work as a DHCP server (see the “Network setup” paragraph for more information).

The cable coming from the computer or the wireless router must be connected on the “Ethernet Port 1” on the first loudspeaker. Then it is possible to daisy chain all the other loudspeakers going out from the “Ethernet Port 2” to the “Ethernet Port 1” of the following iMode device and so on.

SOFTWARE

In case of use with a personal computer, no special software is required, but just a web browser that is supporting Java®. To communicate with the loudspeaker, start the web browser and write the loudspeaker's IP address in the address bar.

The application for the iPhone and iPad is available on the Apple Store. With this application is possible to have the total control over each single loudspeaker or groups. After searching the loudspeakers on the network, it is possible to monitor and control all the devices at the same time, in a really friendly and immediate way.

NETWORK SETUP

The communication protocol is the UDP (User Datagram Protocol), according to standard RFC 768.

In order that several devices in accordance with this standard can communicate, it is necessary that each device has an unique IP address.

If the loudspeaker has the following network settings:

IP: 192.168.1.34

SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0

In order to have the communication between the computer (or iPad) and the iSP loudspeakers, it is mandatory that both belong to the same subnet and have different IP addresses.

In this case, one possible network address for PC is:

IP: 192.168.1.10

SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0

MAC ADDRESS: (assigned)

Or any other configuration with the same subnet (192.168.1.xxx), but with an address different from the ones of the loudspeakers in the network.

The IP addresses can be assigned manually or automatically (DHCP). In the case of automatic IP addressing, almost no network tuning is required.

The devices are supplied, as standard, with the DHCP option enabled.

DHCP means "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol". If this option is enabled, the devices are waiting for a valid IP address from a DHCP server (usually implemented in any wireless router).

IT IS STRONGLY SUGGESTED TO SWITCH ON THE ROUTER AT LEAST ONE MINUTE BEFORE ANY DEVICE.

If the DHCP server is not available or if you do not know the IP address manually assigned to the loudspeaker, you can restore the default address (192.168.1.34) by switching on the system holding down the "HOME" button for at least 5 seconds (you will see the "TEMPER" and "PROT" Leds lighting). This will take the the network setting in a temporary configuration (IP address: 192.168.1.34, Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0).

The last saved network configuration is not overwritten, that is: if the user had enable the DHCP option or set a manual IP address, these information are not lost, and are still visible from the “System” page in the Java or iPad application.

The idea is: “I forgot my last saved network configuration, but I don't want to loose it. What can I do?”. You can restart in this “temporary” configuration and you can read it again. Once you are communicating with the device you can also change and save a new network configuration.

The temporary configuration is active only up to the shutdown of the system.

Note: even in the temporary configuration you have to respect the rules described in the “Network Setup” paragraph. So the wireless router and the computer or iPad device have to be on the 192.168.1.xxx subnet and the subnet mask must be 255.255.255.0

WIRELESS ROUTER BASIC SETTINGS

The minimum wireless router set-up requires:

• at least one LAN port for connection to the loudspeakers;
  • DHCP server enabled;
• wireless Network enabled (for the communication with iPad, iPhone and wireless computers).

It is strongly suggested, from the first use, to change the router administrator password and to modify the wireless name and choose a security password (WPA2).

Please store these data, they will be useful in the future both to access to the net and to set it up.

The Computer and the iPad running the control application have to respect the network communication rules, so it is suggested to set them as DHCP or in the Automatic IP mode when using a wireless router.

The ability to control via wireless device dramatically depends on many factors, such as the position of the wireless antenna and interferences with other wireless networks. Specifically, we recommend to:

• place the access point so that the antenna is visible and away from obstacles;
• if many networks are active in the same place (typical case in trade fairs, large structures or crowded places) use a 5 GHz wireless (not supported by iPhone).

To have a deeper control over the wireless performance, many wifi analyzer for computers, tablets and phones are available on the web.
