Location

Install your Ottocanali Amplifier in well ventilated rack cabinets.

Secure both front and rear brackets to the rack.

Connect the AC Mains connector to a circuit breaker.

Install the amplifier far from EMF emitting devices.

Avoid placing the amplifier close to heat generating sources.

Cooling

The ventilation openings must not be impeded by any item, keep a distance of at least 50 cm from the front and rear ventilation openings of the amplifier.

Ottocanali implements a forced-air cooling system to maintain constant operating temperatures. Air enters from the front panel, exiting at the back of the amplifier.

The cooling system features variable-speed DC fans controlled by the heat sink mounted sensors. This ensures that fan noise and internal dust accumulation are kept to a minimum.

In the rare event of overheating, 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.

Ottocanali amplifiers can be stacked one on top of the other, leave one rack unit empty every four to guarantee adequate air flow.

Cleaning

Use a dry cloth for cleaning the chassis and the front panel. Air filter cleaning should be scheduled in accordance with the dust levels in the amplifier's operating environment.

In order to clean the vent filters remove the front cover by firmly gripping the outermost silver panels and pull them outwards.

Use compressed air to remove the dust from filters, or wash it with clean water (let the filter dry thoroughly before reinstalling them).

AC Mains Supply

Ottocanali Series amplifiers implement two universal redundant switching mode power supplies operating in the range from 100 VAC up to 240 VAC ±10%.

AC mains connection is in the rear panel through the IEC C20 inlet, the approved power cord is provided.

Energy Save

Energy save capabilities can be activated for each channel pair. Four DIP switches are located on the left hand side of the front panel: in order to activate the Energy save mode for channel pair set the switches in the bottom position.

When the Energy save mode is activate on a channel pair, the Ottocanali enters a low power consumption idle state when no signal activity is detected for more than 4 seconds. Normal operation is resumed in a matter of milliseconds when an incoming signal is detected on the channel pair.

In case a pilot tone is used for checking system integrity and line faults, the Ottocanali amplifier would continuously detect a stationary signal that prevents the idle mode. In this condition the Energy save will never activate.

Remote On/Off (standby mode)

Remote ON/OFF is available through the proper terminals in the rear panel: in non-DSP Ottocanali by switching 24 VDC ±10% voltage (10 mA max) applied to the REM OFF connector, the amplifier can be remotely toggle between standard operating and the standby modes.

  • When a 24 VDC voltage is applied to REM OFF, the amplifier switches to standby mode.
  • When the 24 VDC voltage is removed from REM OFF, the amplifier switches back on as per normal boot up operation.

In order to remotely toggle between standard operating and the standby modes, the AC mains power must be active and the mains button switched on.

Connections

Signal Grounding

There is no ground switch or terminal on the Ottocanali Series amplifiers. 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.

Analog Audio Input connections

Ottocanali Series amplifiers implements two analog input connections per channel: LINE and AUX input. Input selection is made via software or through the AUX SEL. IN switch.

Analog input is provided by means of four Phoenix MC 1,5/12-ST-3,811803675 connectors, two for LINE input (channels 1-to-4 and 5-to-8) and two dedicated to the AUX input (channels 1-to-4 and 5-to-8).

AUX SEL. IN: Analog input selection

Ottocanali Series amplifiers can switch from analog LINE inputs to AUX inputs when a constant voltage in the 12 VDC to 30 VDC range is applied to the AUX SEL. IN connector.

When this voltage is removed from the AUX SEL. IN, the unit switches back from AUX inputs to LINE inputs.

PWS OUT: Built-in auxiliary power supply

The PWS OUT connector provides a 24VDC - symmetrical with respect to ground (0.2 A max) - when enabled by the toggle switch on the front panel.

By wiring the PWS OUT connector to the AUX SEL. IN as shown below, the front panel PWS OUT switch is enabled to toggle between analog LINE inputs and AUX inputs: this provides an additional manual procedure to switch from analog LINE to AUX and vice versa.

Digital Audio Input connections

Digital input is supported via Dante™ standard protocols in Dante equipped devices.

In Ottocanali DSP+D amplifiers, Dante connectivity is supported via two Ethernet ports located on the rightmost side of the 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 pinout1.

- Input selection and Backup policy

In Ottocanali DSP+D amplifiers it is possible to select among three input signal sources per channel: analog (either LINE or AUX) and two Dante streams (streams 1-to-8 and 9-to-16).

ArmoníaPlus provides an interface to select the proper input source and manage input gain and delay of analog and digital sources, in order to compensate transmission latency and levels.

Furthermore Ottocanali DSP+D amplifiers implement a backup policy aimed to improve reliability against signal fault. By assigning a bus priority to the three different input sources – analog and two Dante streams – per channel, the system is able to automatically switch to a reliable input connection in case of signal drop or pilot tone mismatch.

Ethernet connection

Ottocanali DSP+D amplifiers can be remotely controlled via an Ethernet connection through a personal computer and ArmoníaPlus. Powersoft recommend the use of Ethernet Cat5 straight through – patch – cables with pin/pair assignments TIA/EIA-568-B, i.e. T568B..

Output connections

Output connectors are Phoenix PC 5/8-STF1-7,62 1777891.

Bridge-tied connection of Lo-Z loudspeaker is supported on adjacent channel pairs 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8; inputs must be physically paralleled. Any mixed configuration of low and high impedance output loads can be realized: in order to set the load configuration, each channel is provided by four DIP switches. Ottocanali Series is configured to drive Lo-Z loads by factory default.

Hi-Z 70V/100V operations

Any channel of an Ottocanali Series amplifier can drive 70V/100V (Hi-Z) distributed line of louspeakers. In order to connect any channel's output to a 70V/100V line, the rear panel DIP switch corresponding to the channel must be correctly set.

Powersoft recommends to use the built-in HPF (High Pass Filter) when the amplifier is set to drive a distributed line to prevent loudspeaker transformer saturation which can considerably degrade sound performance. The HPF can be activated by means of the DIP switch corresponding to the channel: two cutting frequency are available 35 Hz and 70 Hz.

GPO - Alarms

The Ottocanali's GPO – general purpose output – system implements triggering signals to broadcast alarms.

Ottocanali Series provides a pair of paralleled general purpose output connections per channel: one Normally Open ⒺNO and one Normally Closed ⒺNC.

The connections are available on the back panel via two 12-pin Phoenix MC 1.5/12-ST-3.81 1803675 connectors for channels 1-to-4 and 5-to-8.

These contacts are used to report potentially dangerous faults or generally unsafe operation conditions by toggling alarm switches relative to the following events:

  • No AC mains (i.e. system shutdown);
  • Thermal stress: the system temperature reaches 70°C, thermal protections are going to be engaged;
  • Short circuit in output wiring: either the loudspeaker or the line is in short;
  • DC presence at the output: a continuously stationary signal is present at output terminals.

Ottocanali DSP feature further monitoring on pilot tone and output load through the GPO monitoring interface in ArmoníaPlus.

Pilot tone monitoring

Thanks to the built-in DSP, the Ottocanali DSP+D amplifiers implement pilot tone detection and alert. Detecting and alerting features are available for both input and output pilot tones on each channel.

The detection of a mismatch in the input pilot tone parameters (frequency and voltage level) can be used to trigger the backup policy and activate an alert through the general purpose output switch. The output pilot tone detection relies on an external signal passing through the amplifier or the internal post DSP pilot tone generator; in both cases any mismatch between the detected signal and the set thresholds triggers the general purpose output switches.

Output load monitoring

Through ArmoníaPlus it is possible to set the thresholds on the load impedance, at given frequency, that trigger the general purpose output of any channel of the amplifiers with DSP.

Attenuators

The row of potentiometers in the front panel behave differently on non-DSP amplifiers and Ottocanali DSP+D amplifiers:

  • In non-DSP Ottocanali amplifiers, the potentiometers act as trimmers on the input level: the input signal is muted when the trimmer is completely turned counterclockwise; on the other hand, no attenuation is applied when the trimmer is completely turned clockwise.
  • In Ottocanali DSP+D the potentiometers attenuate the speakers gain: they modify the overall gain applied to the group of ways belonging to the selected speaker. The amount of gain attenuation (External gain) is shown in ArmoníaPlus.

Firmware update

Firmware updates for Ottocanali DSP+D can be loaded via the front USB port. Updated releases of the Ottocanali DSP firmware are available at https://www.powersoft.com/en/download/firmware/ The package contains the firmware update file whose name is in the form: update-version#-model.bin (e.g. update-1.10.0.68-8ch.bin): store the firmware update file into a USB storage device and follow these instructions:

  1. Switch the amplifier on and wait for the completion of the boot sequence.
  2. Plug the USB storage device with the firmware update file to the USB port in the front panel of the amplifier.
  3. Press and hold the FW UPDATE pushbutton until the front LED bars start blinking.
  4. The update process lasts in 3-5 minutes. At the end the system reboots and it is possible to extract the USB storage device.

Networking

Ottocanali DSP+D amplifiers support linear daisy-chain, star and loop network topologies.

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

IP addressing

Factory default network settings are DHCP/AutoIP.

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.

Both ArmoníaPlus and the Ottocanali DSP+D must belong to the same subnet. If a DHCP server is present on the network and a Ottocanali DSP+D amplifier 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 an Ottocanali DSP+D amplifier is established during the bootstrap: when the Ottocanali DSP amplifier discovers a DHCP server on the network during the startup, it negotiates the networking parameters. If the Ottocanali DSP does not reveal a DHCP server on the network during the startup it set itself in AUTO IP mode.

Dante™ networking

Ottocanali DSP+D amplifiers support Dante redundant networking via the two Rj45 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 has to be used. Ottocanali DSP+D amplifiers are automatically discovered and displayed in Dante Controller with the default identifier MODELNAME-SERIAL (e.g. 8K4-71520).

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

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

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 Ottocanali DSP+D amplifier 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 inter-connected at any point. Make sure any computer is set to automatically configure its IP address.
