AFM-20DSP –Introduction

Introduction

Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Kramer Electronics provides a world of creative and

affordable audio and visual solutions for the AV industry. At Kramer, we go beyond the box

with end-to-end solutions that blend cutting-edge cloud technologies, advanced software, and

dependable hardware.

Getting Started

We recommend that you:

•Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for

possible future shipment.

•Review the contents of this user manual.

To check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and if firmware upgrades are

available (where applicable) for your device, go to:

•www.kramerav.com/downloads/AFM-20DSP

•www.kramerav.com/downloads/AFM-20DSP-LE

•www.kramerav.com/downloads/AFM-20DSP-AEC

Achieving the Best Performance

•Use only quality connection cables. We recommend Kramer high-performance,

high-resolution cables to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality because of

poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).

•Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll cable slack into tight coils.

•Avoid interference from nearby electrical appliances that may adversely influence signal

quality.

•Position your Kramer AFM-20DSP, AFM-20DSP-LE, AFM-20DSP-AEC device away

from moisture, excessive sunlight, and dust.

Safety Instructions

Caution:

•This equipment is for inside building use only. It may only be connected to other

equipment that is installed inside a building.

•For products with relay terminals and GPI\O ports, refer to the permitted rating for an

external connection, located next to the terminal or in the user manual.

•There are no operator serviceable parts inside the device.

Kramer Electronics Ltd.

AFM-20DSP –Introduction

Warning:

AFM-20DSP –Introduction

Most of the information included in this user manual is relevant to AFM-20DSP,

AFM-20DSP-LE, and AFM-20DSP-AEC.

Sections referring to Dante, HDMI, S/PDIF, and amplifier ports (in the embedded webpages

and Protocol 3000 sections) are not relevant to AFM-20DSP-LE.

Unless specified otherwise, AFM-20DSP or “device”, when used by itself throughout this

manual, refers to all three devices.

Exceptional Quality

•High-Performance, Professional Audio Matrix Switcher –Professional, studio grade

signal conversion technology, including the latest generation 32-bit advanced Digital

Analog Converter architecture to achieve excellent dynamic performance and improved

tolerance to clock jitter. Maintains the quality of the original audio signal with selectable

sampling rates up to 96kHz. Flat frequency response, unmatched sonic performance,

excellent signal to noise ratio, and extraordinarily low distortion levels.

•Multi-Channel Processing –Provides DSP (Digital Sound Processing) that enables

simultaneous processing of all input and output signals.

•Programmable –Supports up to 10 global presets per I/O configuration plus 10 mixer

snapshot presets.

•Audio de-embedding is for AFM-20DSP and AFM-20DSP-AEC only –It de-embeds the

audio signal from the HDMI input for routing to any of the outputs or for routing to the

loop output.

Advanced and User-friendly Operation

•Intuitive and Comprehensive Configuration and Control –Through a powerful, user-

friendly graphic interface, set volume (gain and attenuation) and DSP for each input,

execute routing, select line in, mic in, phantom power or line out on each port, configure

master level, and more.

•Convenient Control –Through the user-friendly embedded webpages and RS-232 serial

controller, control signal routing, independent volume.

•Easy, Cost-Effective Maintenance –LED indicators for main power, line in/out, mic in,

clipping (power amp, Dante sync, and HDMI for AFM-20DSP only), enable easy local

maintenance and troubleshooting. Local firmware upgrade via the USB type-A port

ensures lasting, field-proven deployment.

•Built-in Power Amplifier for AFM-20DSP and AFM-20DSP-AEC only –2x60W @ 8Ω and

1x120W @ 70V / 100V power amplifier.

•Easy Installation –19” enclosure for rack mounting a device in a 1U rack space with

included rack ears and universal 100-240V AC power connection.

•Firmware Upgrade –Ethernet-based via software upgrade tool.

Installing AFM-20DSP

This section provides instructions for installing AFM-20DSP. Before you start the installation,

make sure that the environment is within the recommended range:

•Operation temperature –0to 40C (32 to 104F).

•Storage temperature –-40to +70C (-40 to +158F).

•Humidity –10% to 90%, RHL non-condensing.

Caution:

•Install AFM-20DSP before connecting any cables or power.

Warning:

•Ensure that the environment (such as maximum ambient temperature and air flow) is

compatible for the device.

•Avoid uneven mechanical loading.

•Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings must be used to avoid circuit

overload.

•Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment must be maintained.

To mount the AFM-20DSP in a rack

Attach both rack ears by removing the screws from each side of

the machine and replacing those screws through the rack ears, or

place the machine on a table.
