Conguration
5.3 Conguration Menus
Opening a web browser that is network connected to a
PowerZone Connect amplier initially displays PowerZone
Control Web App Dashboard screen illustrated in Diagram
5a. The Dashboard is the ‘home’ screen from which all other
conguration options can be accessed.
The Dashboard screen shows the amplier status and output
zones on the right and the conguration menu access tabs on
the left. The functions available under each tab are as follows.
Input Tab
The Input Tab provides naming, mono/stereo selection,
sensitivity, and gain trim for each amplier input channel. An
internal pink noise source, provided for system testing and set
up, can also enabled or disabled and adjusted for gain via the
Input Tab.
Zone Tab
The Zone Tab enables installation zones to be dened and
named, and provides access to further sub-menus. Zones
might be bar or restaurant areas for example, or different
rooms in a home. For all Zone Tab menus, the installation zone
under conguration is selected by highlighting one of the zone
identiers (A, B, C or D) at the top of the page.
• The Source menu option enables inputs to be assigned to
installation zones.
• The GPIO Volume Control option enables external volume
control to be applied to individual installation zones. The
GPIO conguration menu can be found under the Settings
Ta b .
• The Compressor option enables default or custom signal
compression to be applied to individual installation zones.
Note: Compression can be useful to reduce the volume difference
between loud and quiet audio material. The lower the compression
threshold is set, the more the difference between loud and soft will
be reduced. The overall zone volume may need to be increased
when compression is used. The default compression parameters are
appropriate for most installations.
Output Tab
The Output Tab enables amplier outputs to be named and
provides access to further sub-menus. For all Output Tab
menus, the amplier output under conguration is selected by
highlighting one of the output identiers (1, 2, 3 or 4) at the top
of the page.
Note: The number of individual outputs available for conguration
will depend on the PowerZone Connect amplier model and the
input, zone and output mode conguration.
• The Routing menu enables zones to be assigned to amplier
outputs.
• The Delay menu enables delay to be applied to individual
amplier outputs.
• The Equalizer menu enables parametric equalization to be
applied to individual amplier outputs. Equalizer settings
congured for one amplier output can be copied and
applied to other outputs.
• The Crossover & Gain menu enables high or low-pass
crossover lters and gain adjustment to be applied to
individual amplier outputs. Crossover lter settings
congured for one amplier output can be copied and
applied to other outputs.
• The Speaker EQ menu enables parametric
equalization to be applied to individual amplier
outputs following the application of crossover
ltering. Equalizer settings congured for one
amplier output can be copied and applied to other
outputs.
• The Driver Alignment menu enables delay to be
applied to individual amplier outputs following
the application of crossover ltering.
