1. INTRODUCTION The LTO DPA900/1500 40 Bit DSP Stereo Amplifier is a high power, low profile, professional Power Amplifier with advanced features and great reliability. In fact, the amplifier functions far beyond a traditional power amplifier, it is also a versatile effect processor. You can set the input and output audio configuration through recalling one of the presets included in the internal memory or PC editor software.
. Level Control for Channels 1&2 These two controls are used to adjust output level of channel 1 and channel 2 respectively. 7. UP/DOWN Key This key is used to move inside the menus or to modify the parameter's value. 8. SELECT Key This key is used to select the menu that you wish to edit. 9. ENTER Key This key is used to edit or confirm the parameter's value. 10. Fan The fan can accelerate the flow of air to lower the temperature inside unit.
18. RS485 IN The function of the RS485 IN is opposite to RS85 OUT. It allows incoming communication between a DPA900/ 1500 stereo amplifier and PC or another DPA900/1500 stereo amplifier. The RS485 port is very suitable for remote control over long distances (Difficult with RS232 standard ports) and daisy-chaining several DPA900/ 1500 stereo amplifiers. 19. RS485 OUT This is the standard serial communication interface.
- Hum Cancel (ON/OFF) Select "EDIT" using SELECT key. Then select "HUM CANCEL" using UP/DOWN keys, both the "HUM CANCEL" and "EDIT" indicators will light up. Press "ENTER" to set Hum Cancel function ON or OFF. Note: the HUM CANCEL indicator will be lighting all the time if you set this function ON, and it effects only on the selected channels. - Noise Gate (ON/OFF) Select "EDIT" using SELECT key. Then select "NOISE GATE" using UP/DOWN keys, both the "EDIT" and "NOISE GATE" indicators will light up.
5.2 Connection to the PC Connect the First DPA to the PC's RS232 serial port, using a 9-pin female plug connected to the RS232 socket on the rear panel of unit. Connect RS485 IN of the Second DPA to the First DPA 's RS485 OUT socket, in this way, you can connect up to 32 DPA units for a same PC. IMPORTANT!!! If the first unit is placed at a distance to the PC that exceeds 5 meters, RS232 to RS485 converters mu st be used to reach it.
2>. The PC Editor should now load. A welcome screen will appear. This closes after 5 seconds (or click on it). Select NEW from the FILE menu. A window will open showing several different model names, because the same software is used for some of our pro audio models. Select DPA amp and click OK. You will then be presented with 2 options NEW UNIT and NETWORK SCAN.
5.5 Help File The HELP file accessible from within the PC Editor will be updated as necessary. Since software updates after the printing of this manual may affect the instructions provided here, please check the Help File for any later remarks. 5.6 Introduction to the PC Editor When you launch the editor on your PC, you will see the opening screen following (later software versions may differ). Each of the numbered sections is explained in this page - just look for the number icons within the text.
6. PARAMETER MENUS DESCRIPTION - HUM CANCEL: allows the modification of the dynamic NOTCH filter parameters. The graph included shows the filter response curve. - NOISE GATE: allows the modification of the noise gate parameters. The graph included shows the filter curve. - MULTICOMP: allows the modification of the multiband compressor parameters. The graphs below show the response curves of the two compressors.
8. CONNECTIONS The following diagrams show the schemes of the recommended cables and some connection examples referred to various system configurations.
9. APPLICATION Total two optional modes: Please see following diagram for connecting the power amplifier into your audio system. 9.1 Stereo Mode In this mode, channel 1 and channel 2 operate independently (just as traditional input into channel 1 can be output from channel 1 only, similarly, the signal input into channel 2 can be output from channel 2 only.
You can also operate the paralleled mode via outside wiring, so the signal input from channel 1 or 2 will beotuput from both channel 1 and channel 2 simultaneously. The volume of channel 1 or channel 2 can be controlled separately.

9.2 Bridge Mode In this mode, the signal input into channel 1 will be output from the bridged end, on the other hand, the output level control of channel 2 should be turn down to smallest (turn the volume control at counterclockwise). Only the volume control of channel 1 is used to control the volume of whole system.
