Installation

3:1.Location

The intended use of X Series amplifiers is in a rack only. The AC mains wirings of the units must be connected to a terminal box provided with a properly breaker (refer to §3:4.Alimentazione elettrica for more details). It is not allowed to connect the X Series AC mains connection directly to the power distribution system. For North America market we recommend to use an approved UL/CSA cable (i.e. ST 600Vac 105°C 5x13AWG).

In order to limit the risk of mechanical damages, the amplifiers must be fixed to the rack using both frontal and rear mounting brackets. We recommends to use eight M6 or 12-24 UNC-2B screws for threaded holes or cage nuts.

Install this amplifier as far as possible from radio tuners and TV sets. An amplifier installed in close proximity of such equipment may experience noise or generic performance degradation. Placing and using the amplifier for long periods of time on heat generating sources will affect its performance. Avoid placing the amplifier on heat generating sources.

3:2.Cooling

Install the amplifier in a well-ventilated location: the ventilation openings must not be impeded by any item such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc; keep a distance of at least 50 cm from the front and rear ventilation openings of the amplifier.

All Powersoft amplifiers implement a forced-air cooling system to maintain low and constant operating temperatures. Drawn by the internal fans, air enters from the front panel and is forced over all components, exiting at the back of the amplifier.

The amplifier's cooling system features "intelligent" variable-speed DC fans which are controlled by the heatsink temperature sensing circuits: the fans speed will increase only when the temperature detected by the sensors rises over carefully predetermined values. This ensures that fan noise and internal dust accumulation are kept to a strict minimum.

Should however the amplifier be subject to an extreme thermal load, the fan will force a very large volume of air through the heat sink. In the extremely rare event that the amplifier should dangerously overheat, sensing circuits shut down all channels until the amplifier cools down to a safe operating temperature. Normal operation is resumed automatically without the need for user intervention.

X Series amplifiers can be stacked one on top of the other due to the efficient cooling system they are equipped with.

There is however a safety limit to be observed: in case a rack with closed back panels is used, leave one rack unit empty every four installed amplifiers to guarantee adequate air flow (see Panel G, p. 10).

3:3.Cleaning

Always use a dry cloth for cleaning the chassis and the front panel. Air filter cleaning should be scheduled according to the dust levels in the amplifier's operating environment.

Disconnect the AC mains source before attempting to clean any part of the amplifier

In order to clean the vent filters you need to remove the front cover: never attempt to open any other part of the unit.

By means of a metric hex key #6, unscrew the two screws located on the left and right sides of the front panel, (see FIG. 1) gently lift the cover and remove the filter. You may use compressed air to remove the dust from filters, or wash it with clean water: in the latter case ensure that the filter is dry before reassembly.

FIG. 1: Use a #6 hex key to remove the front cover.

3:4.AC mains supply

X Series amplifiers offers worldwide AC acceptance and direct connection to any regional power line configuration. Powersoft's legendarily reliable power supply is now suitable to single-phase, two-phase or three-phase operation from 90 V_AC up to 464 V_AC without need of manual selection: true three-phase load balancing is directly achievable by the unit without any complex load assignment in the power distribution system design.

AC mains connection is provided by means of the euroblock Phoenix PC 5/5-STF1-7,62 flying plug (Phoenix product ID 1777862). Proper assembly of the AC mains conductors to the flying plug must respect the power line configuration.

Take care to connect any and all the five contacts of the flying plug to the power cords according to the configuration showed in Panel K, L, M at p. 13 and p. 14. In order to guarantee the proper connection we recommend to use an approved UL/CSA cable (i.e. ST 600Vac 105°C 5x13AWG).

This device must be powered exclusively by earth connected mains sockets in electrical works compliant to the IEC 364 or similar rules.

Since the main power switch on this unit does not provide a complete insulation of the equipment from the main power, you must disconnect the main power source to turn off all power.

Provide a sectioning breaker between the mains connections and the amplifier.

The proper device to use depends on mains configuration; for X8 Powersoft suggests:

single-phase AC (P+N+E): 32 A rating, C or D curve, 10 kA;
three-phase AC (3P+N+E): 4 x 16 A rating, C or D curve, 10 kA.

For X4 Powersoft suggests:

single-phase AC (P+N+E): 16 A rating, C or D curve, 10 kA;
three-phase AC (3P+N+E): 4 x 10 A rating, C or D curve, 10 kA.

NOTE: The pictures and instructions about AC wiring refer to the European CENELEC standards April 2004 (IEC 60446) color code for conductor identification (see TAB. 1).

Conductor Color
Neutral or mid-point conductor N blue
AC phase conductors	L1 brown
	L2 black
	L3 grey
Protective conductor (earth) E	green/yellow

TAB. 1: Color code for conductor identification.

AC mains connections must be performed only by professional or qualified personnel according to local electrical authoritie guidelines.

3:4.1. Three-phase electric power

Each single conductor must be secured to the PC 5/5-STF1-7,62 flying plug as shown in Panel K, p. 13. In some instances neutral connection may lack: on three-phase systems neutral connection is not even necessary given the capability of the X Series to work in delta connection.

3:4.2. Two-phase electric power

Balanced two-phase AC mains in the configurations 2P+E without neutral must be secured to the PC 5/5-STF1-7,62 flying plug as shown in Panel M, p. 14. Take care to double the phase wires at the connecting terminals of the sectioning breaker in order to guarantee the proper conduction gauge.

3:4.3. Single-phase electric power

P+N+E, unbalanced single-phase with neutral is the usual configuration for signle-phase AC mains; wiring must be configured as shown in Panel L, p. 13. Take care to double the phase and neutral wires at the connecting terminals of the sectioning breaker in order to guarantee the proper conduction gauge.

3:5.Precautions regarding installation

WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK

④ This device must be powered exclusively by earth connected mains sockets in electrical networks compliant to the IEC 364 or similar rules.

④ Install the unit into rack cabinet only.

④ A sectioning breaker between the mains connections and the amplifier must be installed inside the rack cabinet.

④ Take care to properly lock each power cord wire to the flying connector Phoenix PC 5/5-STF1-7,62.

2. Remember to switch the local Wi-Fi network off when monitoring and basic setup are no more necessary: press the leftmost button in the front panel in order to switch off the Wi-Fi.

Connections

Make sure the power switch is off before attempting to make any input or output connections.

By using good quality input and speaker cables, the likelihood of erratic signal behavior is reduced to a minimum. Whether you make them or buy them, look for good quality wires, connectors and soldering techniques.

5:1.Signal grounding

There is no ground switch or terminal on the X Series amplifiers. All shield terminals of input connections are directly connected to the chassis. This means that the unit's signal grounding system is automatic. In order to limit hum and/or interference entering the signal path, use balanced input connections.

In the interests of safety, the unit MUST always operate with electrical safety earth connected to the chassis via the dedicated Protective Earth ⊕ wire.

5:2.Analog audio input connections

Analog input is provided by means of Neutrik XLR female connectors, one per channel input. Signal polarity of analog input connections is shown in Panel H, p. 12.

5:3. Digital audio input connections

Digital input is supported via AES3 (AES/EBU) and Dante™ standard protocols in Dante equipped devices.

AES3 connectors are Neutrik XLR female, one per channel pair. The AES3 connection carries a channel pair through a 110 Ω nominal impedance wire in the form of a balanced (differential) digital signal: in AES3 XLR connectors the identification of hot and cold pins is not an issue; take care to never tie pin 2 or pin 3 (balanced signals) to pin 1 (ground). Avoid the use of microphone cables in AES connections: impedance mismatch can result in signal reflections and jitter, causing bit errors at the receiver.

In Dante equipped devices, Dante connectivity is supported via two Neutrik etherCON ports located on the rightmost side of the X8 and X4 rear panels. Fast Ethernet (IEEE 802.3u, 100 Mbit/s) and Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3ab, 1 Gbit/s) network protocols are supported; Cat5e or Cat6 standard UTP twisted pair cables shall be used for connections up to 100 meters (328 ft).

Ethernet cabling must comply to TIA/EIA-568-B and adopt the T568B scheme pinout, as shown in Panel I, p. 12.

5:4.Output connections

CLASS 3 WIRING

CLASS3 Output terminals are hazardous: wiring connection to WIRING these terminals require installation by an instructed person and the use of ready made leads. Take care to secure the output terminals before switching the device on.

Single-ended and bridge-tied loudspeakers connection are supported as shown in Panel J, p. 12.

5:5.Ethernet connections

X Series amplifier platforms can be remotely controlled via an Ethernet connection through a personal computer and Powersoft ArmoníaPlus software.

Powersoft recommends the use of Ethernet Cat5 straight through - patch - cables with pin/pair assignments TIA/EIA-568-B, i.e. T568B, as shown in Panel I, p. 12.

Powersoft X Series amplifier platforms embed a complete digital audio signal management system based on ARM Cortex A-8 processor and TI C6000 DSP platform. This impressive onboard computing capacity is driven by a dedicated software environment.

Updated releases of the X Series software are available on the Armonía forum (https://armonia.powersoft.it/).

The package contains the software update file whose name is in the form:

update-version#-model.bin

(e.g. update-v1.5.0.6-x4.bin); in order to update the software of your X Series amplifier platform you must store the software update file into a USB key and follow these instructions:

1. Switch the amplifier on and wait for the completion of the boot sequence.

Diagram of a mechanical or electrical component with circular elements and a pointer, no text or symbols present

1. Plug the USB key with the software update file to the USB port in the front panel of the amplifier.

Diagram showing a battery connected to a row of circular components with a switch, illustrating a process or system setup.

1. Keep pressed the rightmost pushbutton (Armonía callback) until the second beep is emitted and the LEDs start blinking.

X Series amplifier platforms support linear daisy-chain, star and loop network topologies; in a daisy-chained network the PC with ArmoníaPlus must always be at one end of the chain.

Be aware that daisy-chaining does not guarantee reliability in production environment, since any fault may yield to network sectioning and loss of system control.

When efficiency and reliability are paramount, a redundant network topology is advisable. In order to exploit the Dante features, only star and open daisy-chain network topology are allowed.

8:1.IP addressing

Factory default network settings are DHCP/AutoIP, in order for the amplifier platform to self-configure when connected to an existing LAN or PC. Fixed IP policy can also be adopted and configured through ArmoníaPlus.

If a DHCP server is not active within the network, the amplifier platform initiates a stateless address auto-configuration (i.e. Zero-configuration networking methodology – Zeroconf): it self assigns a local numeric network address (of the type 169.254.x.y – 172.31.*.* for the secondary network if present – with a subnet mask 255.255.0.0) and automatically distributes and resolves the hostnames of networked devices. For setting a static IP address, please refer to the ArmoníaPlus user guide.

8:1.1. IP Addressing troubleshooting

When connecting the X Series to a network environment it may happen that ArmoníaPlus does not discover or import the amplifier.

Usually this is a problem of IP addressing: both Armonia and the X Series must belong to the same subnet. If a DHCP server is present on the network and a X Series amplifier platform is in AUTO IP, networking may become unstable.

As a rule of thumb, turn the DHCP server on before connecting the amplifiers.

IP addressing of a X Series amplifier is established during the bootstrap: when the X Series amplifier platform discovers a DHCP server on the network during the startup, it negotiates the networking parameters. If the X Series amplifier platform does not reveal a DHCP server on the network during the startup, it set itself in AUTO IP mode.

8:2.Dante™ networking

The Dante equipped models of the X Series amplifier platforms support Dante redundant networking via the two etherCON ports on the rear panel:

▶ Primary/ETH1 is the Primary network port;
▶ Secondary/ETH2 is the Secondary network port.

Dante connectivity is always supported on the Primary/ETH1 Gigabit Ethernet port; the Secondary/ETH2 Gigabit Ethernet port offers continuity of operation when a parallel redundant network is established.

In order to implement a Dante network, a computer running Dante Controller have to be used. Dante Controller is a software application that manages devices on the network. X series amplifier platforms are automatically discovered and displayed in Dante Controller with the default identifier MODELNAME-SERIAL (e.g. X8-71520).

Dante networks will almost always require at least one network switch. Redundant infrastructures may require multiple switches. For maximum reliability, network switch shall:

④ be Rated for Gigabit Ethernet;
④ be Non-blocking;
④ have Quality of Service (QoS) with at least four queues;
④ have Diffserv (DSCP) QoS with strict priority;
④ have EEE (Energy efficient ethernet) switched off.

For detailed information on setting up a switch, please refer to the manufacturer's documentation.

8:2.1. Redundant network configuration

Dante Redundancy can be set-up and used between any supporting Dante-enabled audio equipment: it works by using two completely independent and separate networks, the Primary Network and the Secondary Network.

To setup and use Dante Redundancy, connect the X Series amplifier platform and other redundant Dante-enabled audio equipment using duplicate Gigabit switches and Ethernet cables. Connect your computer running Dante Virtual Soundcard and Dante Controller, and other non-redundant Dante-enabled audio equipment to the Primary Network.

The primary and secondary networks MUST NOT be interconnected at any point. Make sure any computer is set to automatically configure its IP address.

ArmoníaPlus

ArmoníaPlus is the default configuring interface that allows system setting and customization of the X Series amplifier platforms.

ArmoníaPlus can be installed on a PC running Windows (XP SP3 and higher). ArmoníaPlus is available for free from the Armonía website, where a startup guide and in depth tutorials are also provided:

https://armonia.powersoft.it/

X Series amplifier platforms can be connected to a PC running ArmoníaPlus through a Fast Ethernet connection. In order to start remote operation, the amplifier must be added into the ArmoníaPlus Workspace. Add the amplifier by selecting the family and model.

The X Series amplifier must then be matched by clicking on the Match section of the workspace, and then by clicking on "Discovery" to reveal any device which is available on the network.

The callback button – located rightmost on the front panel of the amplifier – allows you to highlight the amplifier in the discovery panel.

9:1. Signal routing and DSP architecture

Signal processing on Powersoft X Series amplifier platforms accomplishes multiple functions that affect the audio signal before power amplification. The main adjustments include gain, polarity, delay, limiting and signal equalization; some processing are related only to particular stages, such as limiting and damping control that are implemented on the output section only, or input priority assignment available in the input section.

The processing architecture is composed of six sections:

Input source selection. The input section allows you to manage input gain and delay of analog and digital sources, in order to compensate transmission latency and levels. Furthermore, the X Series implements a backup policy aimed to improve reliability against signal fault. By assigning a bus priority to the four different input sources – analog,

AES3 and two Dante streams – per channel, the system is able to automatically switch to a reliable input connection in case of any signal fault.

▶ Matrix. The innovative routing engine of X Series allows any input to be routed to any output. The Matrix implements a non-Boolean routing architecture allowing free channel assignment and level adjustment.

▶ Advanced processing. This allows you to optimize levels and shape the sound of the input signals. Gain and polarity adjustment, asymmetric raised-cosine full parametric filters, delay and mute are available on each channel routed to the speaker section.

▶ Speaker equalization. Designed to manage the configuration presets for multi-way systems, it implements FIR and IIR full parametric filters.

▶ Speaker routing. Once properly grouped, the output channels are presented to the matrix as speakers – a single row representing a speaker (actually group of ways) – allowing a high grade of granularity in signal processing.

▶ Output processing. This allows fine-tuning of output signals, aiming to optimize power delivering and loudspeaker performance. It provides gain and polarity adjustment, IIR and FIR full parametric filters, delay, mute, limiting and damping control on each output channel.

9:2.Purposed workflow

Once the loudspeaker layout has been defined, we suggest a bottom-up configuration procedure that starts from the configuration of the transducers layout and raises toward the input selection and the definition of the backup policy.

Shortly, the main steps to follow are:

1. Load the loudspeaker presets or manually configure the loudspeaker layout (grouping output channels, crossovering, limiting, speaker processing, etc.).
2. Define the routing path and the levels of the signals from the input channels to the active output channels (matrix).
3. Select the signal source from the input connections and define the backup policy (input source selection).
