Tesira Amplifiers - PoE (Plenum Mount)

Tesira AMP-450P

Amplifier configurations for the Tesira AMP-450P are available from the Object Toolbar via the I/O Block > Amplifiers menu item.

Initialization Dialog

The initialization dialog allows the user to configure the amplifier channel count/power level.

DSP Block Representation

The AMP-450P amplifier is represented on the layout as a single output block. The output block has a configurable number of output channels with 1, 2 or 4 channels being supported.

The left side of the block provides one audio output channel per amplifier output channel as configured in the Initialization dialog.
The bottom of the block has logic output ports for indicating faults and warnings from the amplified outputs.

More information on logic is located here: AMP-450P

Control Dialog

The amplifier dialog is configured to show channel and device indicators and controls for each enabled audio channel. AMP-450P and Amp-450BP have slight differences as shown below.

Channel Indicators and Controls

Name	Description	Range
Dev. IO	Indicates which amplified output(s) are controlled by this channel of the block. All channels are non-bridged, so only a single output number is displayed.	1-4
Clip	Off (grey) - No clipping of the audio signal Red - Clipped audio
Protect	Off (grey) Yellow - Actively limiting the audio signal Red - Audio output shutdown due to low power
Muted	Indicates the current state of the amplifier channel: Off - Channel unmuted Yellow - Channel unmuted; chassis mute active Red - Channel mute active
Mute	Turns the channel output signal on/off.
Level	Adjusts the relative output volume.	-100 to 0 dB
Invert	Adjusts the polarity of the output signal.	0° or 180°
Speaker Count (AMP-450BP)	Indicates the number of speakers to be connected	1 or 2
Load Impedance (AMP-450P)	Load impedance being driven by the speaker output.	4 or 8 Ohms

Device Indicators and Controls

Name	Description
Burst	Indicates a burst condition is present. Off (grey) Green - Light Yellow - Medium Red - Heavy/Warning
Fault	Indicates when a frame fault is active. Off (Gray) - No active fault Red - Active fault*
Warning	Indicates when a frame warning is active. Off (Gray) - No active warning Yellow - Active warning
Temperature	Indicates a frame level thermal fault. Off (grey) - No fault Yellow - Thermal warning Red - Thermal fault*
Mute All	Mutes all channel on the Chassis.

*Note that if both the Fault and Temperature indicators are red, the amplifier will shut down until power cycle. This could be an indication of a major error in the installation.
