Digital power amplifier
MDA-KDM series
Control software connection interfaces:
The MDA-KDM series has two connection interfaces: TCP/IP (recommended) and USB.
TCP/IP connection: use a Category 5/Category 6 network cable to connect the TCP/IP port of the power amplifier to the
network adapter interface of the computer.
The MDA-KDM series supports two IP addressing modes: STATIC addressing or DHCP mode (default). The amplifier
addressing mode has to match the computer network settings. For DHCP mode connections, the IPv4 address option of the
computer network adapter has to be Dynamic (Automatic); on the contrary, when the amplifier is set in STATIC addressing
mode, the computer network card has to use a STATIC (manual) IP address in the same network mask of the amplifier (e.g. if the
amplifier IP is 192.168.0.100 with a Netmask 255.255.255.0, the computer IP should be in the range 192.168.0.XXX).
The amplifier implements an automatic device discovery service, allowing to easily connect the PC control software: it is enough
to open the control software, wait for the discovery message to appear and click OK to connect.
Open software Automatic discovery Connected Device
Common issues with theTCP/IP connection:
1. The automatic discovery message doesn’t appear.
Solution:
Click on the settings icon on the amplifier screen to enter the IP settings page and view the current IP mode of the amplifier. Open
the computer's wired network card network adapter and ensure the IP mode of Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IP v4) matches the
amplifier IP settings, as described above.
If the IP settings of the computer has been properly set and the discovery message still not appear, it can be due to the computer
firewall that filters the broadcast announce messages from the amplifier. To solve the issue, the firewall has to be disabled or a
firewall exception for the control software has to be manually added in the Windows firewall settings (Note: the first time the control
software is run, a firewall exception prompt appear to automatic add the software in the firewall exception list).
2. After opening the software, the software prompts a message like “Found [email protected] (UDID:
437F8D4ACB68) The device is UNREACHABLE! Please check your network settings”. It means the amplifier is correcly
connected to the network, but the IP settings of the computer doesn’t match network settings of the amplifer.
Solution:
Check the computer settings and ensure the network card uses the same addressing mode of the amplifier and, if STATIC mode is
selected, set the IP address of the computer in the amplifier Netmask range.
Network cable connection diagram:
Network cable
USB connection: use a Type-B2.0 cable to connect the computer to the power amplifier and open the control software. Then,
click the Add Device button, choose USB connection and select the right power amplifier model. Finally, Click the “Offline”
label to connect.
Add Device Connected Device Successfully connected
Common issues with the USB connection
The message “Device not found” appears when trying to connect the amplifier.
It means the control software can’t recognize the amplifier, due to a model mismatch or an issue related to the USB COM port driver.
Solution 1: be sure the model of the added device match the amplifier model.
Solution 2: open the computer device manager to check whether the COM port and SUB driver are correctly installed. In the case the
COM port number is greater then 72, manually change it to a free COM port in the range 1...72. If the amplifer USB driver cannot be
properly recognized, please try using another USB port of the computer or reinstall the driver. Download address: www.marani-

Input source selection and input source hot backup switch:
The MDA-KDM series power amplifiers support analog, digital, and Dante signal inputs. They also support the input
source hot backup function, allowing users to specify backup signals for the primary source. When the autoswitch
function is enabled (“ON”), the amplifier detects any signal loss on the primary (first) source, due for example to a
cable disconnection, and automatically switches to one of the backup sources, following the priority set by the user.
When the primary signal is restored, the system automatically switches back to the primary source. The User can set
the source priority and adjust the level of each source in the “AUTOSWITCH EDIT” window. When the autoswitch
function is disabled the device uses the primary (First) Source.
Note: only the First Source can be selected in the main windows. To select the Second and Third Source the user has to
open the “AUTOSWITCH EDIT” window

Noise generator
The noise generator allows to feeds all the input channel with a white or
pink noise. Noise Level can be adjusted within the range 0 ~ -40dBu.
Attention: Before turning on the noise generator, the level should be at the
minimum value (-40dBu) to ensure the safety of the system and on-site
workers.
Signal Routing
The MDA-KDM series power amplifiers have a 4X4 input/output routing matrix (with the exception of the MDA2-
8KDM, that has a 2x2 matrix), allowing users to mix, with a suitable level, any input signal into one or more output
channels. The mixing level can be adjusted within the range 0...-30dB.
It supports any input channel linkage, or A&B / C&D pairs
linkage. Once the links are set, any settings change in the
current channel will be applied on the linked channels too.
It supports any output channel linkage, or 1&2 / 3&4 pairs
linkage. Once the links are set, any settings change in the
current channel will be applied on the linked channels too.
It shows the processing latency of each input/output
channel. Clicking the latency labels of 2 or more channels,
will enable the autolatency function, that allows to
automatically align the selected channel latency.

Level monitoring interface
The Vu-Meter section shows the level of the inputs (before gain “BG”) and of the outputs (after process “AP”)
The level monitoring interface shows input and output channels level meter, as well as the main amplifier status
information. It also allows to set channels gain and mute.
Input and output channels level can be adjusted within the
range -12dB~+12dB with a 0.1dB step. Double click the
fader’s thumb to quickly return to the 0dB position.
