Frequently Asked Questions - Sonamp DSP 8-130 MKII SONANCE

How do I set up the amplifier for the first time?
Connect the amplifier to your network via RJ-45, turn on the power, and use an IP scanner (like Fing or Advanced IP Scanner) to find its IP address. Open a web browser and enter the IP to access the SONARC web interface. The default DHCP is enabled. Follow the Basic or Advanced Setup to assign DSP presets, configure inputs/outputs, and set volume levels.
What do the front panel LED indicators mean?
The power button logo is bright white when active, dim white in sleep mode, and blinking white in thermal protection. The channel LEDs: green indicates signal present, blinking red means overdriven, solid red indicates protect mode (short or overheating). If solid red, turn off the amplifier immediately and troubleshoot.
How can I bridge two channels for more power?
Use the SONARC software: go to the IN/OUT Settings tab, find the Output Setup area, and select Bridge ON for the desired channel pair. Connect the speaker‘s positive lead to the left ”+“ terminal and the negative lead to the right ”+“ terminal (the two outer connections). Minimum speaker impedance is 8 ohms when bridged.
How do I adjust volume for each channel?
Volume can be controlled via the recessed front panel screws (one per channel) or through the SONARC web interface. In SONARC, go to the IN/OUT Settings tab and adjust Output Volume, Turn On Volume, and Maximum Volume. Note that front panel adjustments override the software settings. Use caution to avoid overdriving speakers.
What is the SONARC software and how do I access it?
SONARC is a web-based configuration interface for the DSP amplifier. Access it by entering the amplifier‘s IP address in a web browser (Chrome or Safari). It provides Basic Setup (EQ, source, volume) and Advanced Setup (network, triggering, EQ settings, presets). No software installation is required; it runs directly in the browser.
How do I connect the amplifier to a network for IP control?
Connect an RJ-45 cable from the amplifier’s rear-panel RJ-45 input to your network router. By default, DHCP is enabled, so the amplifier will obtain an IP address automatically. Use an IP scanner to find the device, which will appear as ”Sonance“. You can then configure static IP if needed for control systems.
What Auto On modes are available and how do they work?
There are five modes: Audio (turns on with audio signal, sleep after inactivity), Audio Green (sleeps after 15 min, Ethernet off when off), Power Button (manual on/off, sleep optional), Voltage (turns on with 3-30V trigger, Ethernet always on), and Voltage Green (Ethernet off when off). Select via SONARC General Settings tab.
How can I reset the amplifier to factory defaults?
There are two methods. DHCP Reset: Turn off amp, set 1L volume fully counterclockwise, set 1R volume fully clockwise, power on, wait for flashing, power off, return 1L to desired level, power on. Factory Reset via Web: Enter the amplifier‘s IP with ”/Update.htm“ in the browser URL, then click the red reset button. DSP presets are not deleted.
Can I use the amplifier with speakers that are not Sonance brand?
Yes, you can use any speakers. However, the built-in DSP presets are optimized for Sonance speakers. For non-Sonance speakers, you can manually configure the 10-band parametric EQ, crossover, delay, and limiter using the SONARC EQ Settings tab. It is recommended to use measurement equipment for optimal results.
What should I do if the amplifier goes into protection mode?
Protection mode is indicated by solid red channel LEDs and possibly a blinking power button. Common causes: short circuit in speaker wires, overheating, or internal fault. First, turn off the amplifier and unplug the power cord. Check speaker connections for shorts or low impedance. Ensure proper ventilation. After resolving the issue, plug in and power on. If the problem persists, contact Sonance support.

Front Panel

Power Switch

The power switch turns the amplifier on and off.

When the Sonance logo on the power switch is lit bright white, the amplifier has power and is turned ON and ready to operate.

When the Sonance logo is slightly dimmed the amplifier is in to sleep/all channels asleep/sleep mode active mode.

When the Sonance logo on the power switch is blinking white, the amplifier power supply is in thermal protection. The channel LEDs will also light red when the power supply is in thermal protect mode.

NOTE: Upon initial power up there will be an approximately 9-12 second boot up cycle. This is normal.

Input/Output Lights

When each channel is active, the LED will light green as long as a signal is present.

When the LED blinks red, this is an indication that the channel is being overdriven.

When the LED lights are solid red this is an indication the amplifier is in protect mode. While in protect mode, the LED lights will periodically light green to retest the output to determine if the short has been removed. Protect mode could be caused by a short in the wire, overheating of the amplifier or possibly an internal problem with the amplifier.

NOTE: WHEN ANY OF THE LEDS ARE LIT RED TURN THE AMPLIFIER OFF IMMEDIATELY. DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE TURNING THE AMPLIFIER ON.

Volume Level Control

Each channel on the amplifier has volume adjustments found in the SONARC software. Output volume can be adjusted in SONARC or from the front panel recessed volume controls. Output volume will reflect the option last adjusted. The DSP 8-130 MKII amplifier ships at the +12 or maximum volume level.

Rack Ear Installation DSP 8-130 MKII

The DSP 8-130 MKII ships with two rack ears. Unscrew the four Phillips head screws (M4 x 0.7 pitch x 10mm long) found on each side of the left and right forward section of the amplifier. Use these screws to connect the included rack ears to the amplifier (see Figure 4).

Protection Circuitry and LEDs

The Sonamp amplifiers have a multi-stage protection system to prevent damage to your amplifier and speakers. See Appendix A.

Amplifier Channel Protection DSP 8-130 MKII

If a channel encounters a short-circuit or extremely low impedance, the affected channel outputs automatically mute. The output of the effected channel will remain muted until the fault has been corrected. Only the effected channels output will mute, all other channels will continue to operate normally. Note: In bridged mode the protection circuitry will sense a short circuit across both positive speaker terminals.

Amplifier Channel Protection Indication LED's DSP 8-130 MKII On the front panel of the Sonamp DSP 8-130 MKII amplifiers are dual color LEDs that illuminate to indicate the current operating status of each amplifier channel.

LED's Blinking Red: This is an indication that the channel is being overdriven.

LED's Solid Red: This is an indication the amplifier is in protect mode. While in protect mode the LED lights will periodically light green to retest the output to determine if the short has been removed. Protect mode could be caused by a short in the wire, overheating of the amplifier or possibly an internal problem with the amplifier.

IMPORTANT: ALLOWING THE AMPLIFIER TO OPERATE WITH ONE OR MORE CHANNELS IN PROTECT MODE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME CAN DAMAGE THE AMPLIFIER.

Amplifier Power Supply Protection DSP 8-130 MKII:

The amplifier also has protection for the power supply.

Power Switch Blinking Light: If the power supply heat sink temperature exceeds the design maximum, the protection circuit will activate, disconnecting all channel outputs. This is indicated by a blinking and red LEDs on the front panel power switch.

IMPORTANT: ANY TIME THE PROTECTION CIRCUITS ARE TRIGGERED, UNPLUG THE AMPLIFIER'S POWER CORD FROM THE WALL OUTLET BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING.

IP SETUP

DHCP On/Off

DHCP ON/OFF is the first option in IP SETUP. All Sonance DSP series amplifiers ship with DHCP (Dynamic Host Connection Protocol) ON. In most installations DHCP should be left ON except when you are using a control system for IP control. If you are controlling the DSP series amplifier using IP, then we suggest you turn DHCP OFF and use a static IP address.

IP SETUP | Category | Value | |---|---| | IP Address | 192.168.1.2 | | IP Subnet Mask | 255.255.255.0 | | DHCP | ON |

IP Address

The second setting in the IP SETUP section is the IP address. When DHCP is ON the current IP address will be displayed. To change the IP address DHCP must be set to OFF.

When DHCP is turned off the IP address that the router assigned to the amplifier will still be applied. This IP address is a good place to start since it is not being used by another network device. If you wish to change the IP address you should perform a scan of the network and only assign an unused IP address within the range of your router. As a general rule only change the last three digits of the IP address in the amplifier settings and only assign numbers between 1 and 254. Following this suggestion will minimize the chance of making the amplifier inaccessible.

It is critical to type in the correct IP address. If the wrong IP address is entered, the amplifier could become inaccessible. Make changes to the IP settings only if you fully understand network setup.

Reseting DHCP

If IP address is not known and the amp is locked out, use the volume control reset method in Appendix A.

IP Subnet Mask

The third setting in the IP SETUP section is the IP Subnet Mask. This is an advanced network setup function. Under most circumstances this field should not need to be edited. Making changes in this field should only be done by experienced network administrators.

ID Amp Mode

When the power switch is turned ON, the power button on the front of the amplifier will flash to indicate which amplifier you are programming. This will make the amplifier easy to identify in a multi-amp installation.

ID AMP MODE Flash Power Switch OFF

Backup Restore

The green BACKUP and RESTORE buttons take all of the settings of the amplifier including the DSP settings and encapsulates them into one file. This allows you to transfer these settings into another amp of the same model. This is a proprietary file type (.bin file), agnostic to PC or Mac.

BACKUP RESTORE All Settings RESTORE Warning Do you want to restore all settings from Internet or Local Internet Local

Print

The print button will output a complete list of all settings for the amplifier. It is always a good idea to keep a backup hard copy of the settings for each installation.

SONARC

Auto On

Select the Auto On method you would like to use with the blue pull down menu. During setup it is strongly recommended that you keep the Auto On method set to POWER BUTTON to prevent the amplifier from shutting off. You can return at anytime to the Auto On setting and select the final method of Auto On for your installation. When controlling the amplifier using IP and IR commands we suggest using the Power Button Auto On mode. See Appendix B.

Audio

In the Audio Auto On, mode there are three Sleep Mode options. Each channel has an independent Sleep Mode setting. The Sleep Mode is triggered by an audio sensing circuit on each channel of the amplifier.

SONANCE Sonamp DSP 8-130 MKII - Audio - 1

Audio Green

In the Audio Auto On mode the amplifier will power off after 15 minutes without and audio signal present on any of the channels. When an audio signal is applied the amplifier will take approximately 9-12 seconds for the amplifier to reproduce audio after going through its power up sequence. In the audio Auto ON mode the sleep function is active, see sleep mode note below. This mode complies with EU energy saving standards.

SONANCE Sonamp DSP 8-130 MKII - Audio Green - 1

Power Button

When Sleep Mode is set to OFF the channel will be on at all times. Use the Sleep mode OFF setting for audio signals like a doorbell or paging where audio must be reproduced immediately at any time.

SONANCE Sonamp DSP 8-130 MKII - Power Button - 1

Voltage

In the Voltage Auto On mode, the amplifier will power off immediately when the trigger voltage has been removed. When a 3-30V AC or DC voltage is sent to the amplifier, it will take approximately 6-8 seconds for the amplifier to reproduce audio after going through its power up sequence. This mode complies with EU energy saving standards.

Sleep Mode

Sleep mode allows you to select how long the amplifier will stay active after the trigger method subsides.

Off

When set in the OFF mode the channel will be on at all times. Use the OFF setting for audio signals like a doorbell or paging where audio must be reproduced immediately at any time.

After 15 Minutes

When an audio signal has not been present on a channel for 15 minutes, the channel will go to sleep. From the sleep state the channel will take approximately 2-3 seconds to reproduce audio again. This mode is similar to legacy Sonamp Auto-On operation.

After 3 Hours

When an audio signal has not been present on a channel for 3 hours, the channel will go to sleep. From the sleep state the channel will take approximately 2-3 seconds to reproduce audio again. This mode works well for home theater installations.

Output Frequency Response

This graph reflects the changes made below.

The above EQ image shows EQ4 ON at 500Hz, the Q is set to 3 with a -6dB gain, creating a gradual dip in the lower midrange.

EQ9 shows ON at 3000Hz, the Q is set to 10 with a -6dB gain, creating a sharp dip in the midrange.

EQ10 shows ON at 10000Hz, the Q is set to 1 with a +4dB gain, creating a very gradual slope in the high frequencies.

Parametric EQ

All Sonance DSP amplifier models feature a 10 band parametric EQ. Adjustments made to the EQ will be displayed on the Output Frequency Response graph. We strongly suggest not adjusting the EQ without proper measurement equipment.

EQ On/Off

Turns each of the 10 parametric EQ filters on and off.

EQ Frequency Hz

Enter the center frequency (20Hz - 20kHz) for the filter to be adjusted.

EQ-Q

This setting determines the width of the adjustment range. The lower the number the wider the bandwidth. The higher the number the narrower the bandwidth.

EQ Gain +/-dB

The level of each parametric adjustment can be set +/-12dB. Careful adjustment of the EQ Gain is necessary to prevent damage to the speakers. Always increase the level as little as possible. The first choice should always be to reduce the output to achieve the target frequency response.

PARAMETRIC EQ | EQ - Ov/OF | EQ1 | EQ2 | EQ3 | EQ4 | EQ5 | EQ6 | EQ7 | EQ8 | EQ9 | EQ10 | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | EQ - Ov/OF | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF | | EQ Frequency Hs | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 |…

Delay

Delay is shown in Milliseconds, Feet and Meters. You can make an entry in any of the three fields and the other fields will be calculated automatically.

The minimum delay is .01 milliseconds, the maximum delay is 12 milliseconds.

This function is useful when compensating for distance between satellites and subwoofers for instance.

DELAY in Sec 0 Feat 0 Meters 0

Tilt Control

The tilt controls are very sophisticated bass and treble control. By selecting a start frequency and level you can ramp the bass and or treble up or down. The effect of the tilt control is visible in the Output Frequency Response graph.

Low Tilt / High Tilt

This setting turns the Low and High tilt controls ON and OFF.

Frequency

Enter the start frequency of the tilt in Hz.

To boost the low frequencies you would typically set the Low Tilt to 100Hz. To boost the high frequencies you would set the High Tilt to around 5kHz.

Gain

The gain can be set in 1dB steps +/-12dB. When setting the gain use as little positive gain as possible to minimize the risk of damage to the loudspeakers.

TILT CONTROL Low Tilt OFF High Tilt Frequency 100 5000 Frequency Gain 0 0 Gain

Crossover

LP Xover / HP Xover

This setting turns the high and low pass crossovers ON and OFF.

Frequency

In this field you can enter any frequency between 20Hz-20kHz.

Filter Type

6dB, 12dB, 18dB and 24dB per octave Butterworth filters are available in the pull down menu.

The higher the number the faster the speakers output will be reduced below or above the crossover frequency.

In a typical satellite subwoofer system the crossover frequency would be around 80-100Hz for both the high and low pass filters.
