Chan |

Channel Name |
A name for the channel. This label can be used to improve the clarity of the user interface for the end user. |
Cobranet Sub Channel |
The subchannel numbers for the audio channels. |
Input Level (Ci amps only) |
Input level in dBu. |
Gain |
Adjusts the amount of amplification or attenuation to be applied to the channel. Range is -97 to 0 dB. |
Mute |
Mutes the channel output. The LED is lit (red) when the channel is muted. |
Output Level (Ci amps only) |
Full scale output level in dBu. Zero dB on the meter is reached at full amp power (assuming an 8 Ohm load). When in 70V mode, full power is reached at about 5dB on the output meter. |
Temp |
Channel heat sink temperature. |
Ther |
Lit (red) when a channel’s heat sink temperature reaches 75°C (which may indicate an obstructed air supply). The channel will independently protect itself by disconnecting its load and shutting down until it has cooled. |
DC |
Lit (red) when the amplifier channel detects DC voltage or subsonic frequencies at a channel output. The respective output relay will immediately open to prevent loudspeaker damage. |
RTLM |
Lit (red) when the load for the channel exceeds the upper or lower limit. If this indicator is lit, and the RTLM training process has successfully completed, it indicates that the load on the amplifier has altered significantly. This could be because a loud speaker has blown, for example. |
User Temp |
The user-specified upper limit for the channels' heat sink temperature. If the limit is exceeded, the light will be lit (yellow). |
IGM Alert |
Lit (yellow) when the Instantaneous Gain Modulation (IGM) circuit detects a load that overstresses the output stage. The channel gain is automatically adjusted to a safe level. |
ACL Alert |
Lit (yellow) when the Active Clip Limiting (ACL) circuit is active because a channel has reached the clipping point. |
