2. CONNECTIONS

2.1. Connection Panel

The power and audio connections are located on the unique panel, shown in Fig. 1.

The different parts of the panel are explained in detail in the following sections of the

manual.

Control:

A) LCD: Displays information about the system status. The main screen shows the

following information.

Current preset

Input Level

Output Level LF Channel

Output Level HF Channel

Amplifier temperature

ALC mode enabled/disabled

ECO mode enabled/disabled

Keypad locked/unlocked

B) KEYPAD: Allows the user to perform basic operations on the DSP such as Preset

selection, audio settings and user preferences. There are three keys available:

MENU key: OK key: Circular key:

To enter the menu the keypad must be unlocked by pressing simultaneously the

MENU and OK keys.

The central circle of the circular key will light up in blue when this key is active.

C) PROTECTION LED: This led lights up when the amplifier is in a protection

situation (such as temperature excess, overcurrent, or other situations that can

compromise the amplifier’s integrity). It will also light up when the amplifier is in

standby mode. This happens for a couple of seconds at start-up.

The Protection led will light off when the amplifier recovers from the abnormal

situation. Shall the Protection led keep up lighted on even after a system restart,

please contact an authorized service.

D) LIMITER ON LED: The limiter led lights up to indicate that the amplifier is

delivering the maximum power set by the limiter circuit. The limiter prevents the

loudspeaker from receiving excessive or distorted signal. Continuous lightning of this

led indicates that the signal is being massively compressed. In this case, the input

level should be reduced in order to get a proper dynamic headroom.

Model Specifications:

E) MODEL DATA: The basic data of the model is found here:

- Model reference

- Amplifier program power (Watts)

- Maximum Sound Pressure Level Continuous delivered by the system (dB SPL)

F) AUTHENTICATION QR CODE: This QR code is a smart label that ensures that

the product is an original Amate Audio product. To verify the authenticity, please

follow the instructions in the following link:

http://www.amateaudio.com/en/product-authentication/

Connections:

G) AC MAINS INPUT: Mains supply connection via PowerCon. Use the blue

connector for AC input.

Always use mains power cable supplied by manufacturer.

Never connect the NITID cabinets to an unearthed mains supply or by

using an unearthed mains cable.

H) AC LINK: Grey connector to feed other units in parallel. Linking up to 10 units is

possible, provided that a quality cable of a minimum section of 3x2.5mm2is used.

Connecting more than 10 units in parallel may lead to a voltage drop in the cable that

will reduce the equipment performance.

I) BALANCED INPUT/LINK:

XLR-3 Female balanced signal connector for signal input and XLR-3 Male connector

for parallel connection of various cabinets with the same input signal.

Please always use balanced microphone cable with the following pin

assignment:

1. Shield

2. (+) Live

3. (–) Return

2.2. Configurations

2.2.1. Parallel connection

Connect the signal (mixing desk output) to INPUT on the first unit. Use the LINK

output to transfer the INPUT signal to the second unit and thus sequentially for

further units. All of the units in this chain must be switched on.

For the mains connection use the cable with the blue PowerCon.

You can use the mains connection in parallel by using a cable with grey PowerCon

at one end and the blue PowerCon at the other end.

Fig. 2. Parallel connection for N26, N36 and N46 cabinets (signal and mains)

Do not connect NITID series units using PowerCon without earth.

Do not connect more than ten units using the AC output link connector.

2.2.2. Parallel connection with other equipment

You can connect other NITID loudspeakers or subwoofers in parallel with N26,

N36 or N46. Please, follow the same parameters as explained in

Fig. 2.

3. MOUNTING AND PLACEMENT

For a proper installation of the acoustic cabinet systems, it is strongly recommended

to carefully read the following advices.

3.1. Placement When possible, cabinets should be

located in a high position, slightly

inclined to the audience. If the

loudspeakers are located too low,

the listeners at the end of the room

will not hear a good sound quality.

3.2. N26, N36, N46 with subwoofer

All models are equipped with a 35 mm socket for

mounting the speaker on a subwoofer. Be careful not

to use this system on non-flat surfaces as it may

become unstable.

Fig. 4. N36 with subwoofer

3.3. 3.3. Asymmetrical and rotatable horns

The N36 and N46 incorporate an asymmetrical dispersion horn which will optimise

coverage.

To rotate the horn, unscrew the frontal grille, and then, unscrew the four fixing

screws of the horn. Rotate it 180 degrees taking care of the wires. Screw the horn

again and finally place the frontal grille in its right position.

Good coverage of audiences often is a conflicting combination of:

wide coverage for the closest audience (short throw)

narrow coverage for distant areas (long throw)

The asymmetrical dispersion horn coverage varies from "short throw" to "long throw"

along the vertical axis (keeping a constant vertical directivity). In conclusion,

directivity feature of (50º to 100º(H), 55º(V)) can be seen as if the horn itself had

"two" horizontal directivities, which depend on the distance. For short distances the

horn should be used with its "wide" dispersion (100º). For long distances the horn

should be used with its "narrow" dispersion (50º). We suggest you to pay attention

to the following examples.
