SETTINGS switch

The SETTINGS switch has two functions which can be turned on or o independently.

STANDBY

If the SETTINGS switch has been set to one of the two AUTO STANDBY = ON positions, the

KH 80 DSP will switch to standby after 90 minutes.

Standby means that the network interface, signal processing circuitry and power ampliﬁers

are all powered down. Standby mode is automatically deactivated when a suciently large

audio signal is detected at the analog input. The time taken to resume normal operation and

hear sound is 5 seconds. It is possible to change the time before standby mode is activated

using the Neumann.Control software.

Standby can be disabled by moving the SETTINGS switch to one of the two AUTO STANDBY =

OFF positions.

CONTROL

If the SETTINGS switch has been set to one of the two LOCAL CONTROL positions, the KH 80 DSP

will not react to network commands. Control of the loudspeaker will be from the backplate

only.

If the SETTINGS switch has been set to one of the two NETWORK CONTROL positions, the

KH 80 DSP will react to network commands from the Neumann.Control software. The other

backplate controls will be ignored.

If the SETTINGS switch is set to NETWORK CONTROL but there is no network connection and

active Neumann.Control software, the last used network conﬁguration will be used.

If you have conﬁgured any settings via the Neumann.Control software and you remove the

network cable, the current settings will stay active.

By switching from network control to local control you can easily switch between a conﬁgu-

ration measured in the Neumann.Control software and settings made directly on the loud-

speaker.

This can make sense if you want to temporarily use the loudspeaker in a dierent location than

your measured studio environment.

The loudspeaker does not lose its settings even when disconnecting it from the network or the

mains supply.

Resetting the KH 80 DSP

To reset the KH 80 DSP internal controls to their factory default values:

Switch on the KH 80 DSP.

While the Logo is ﬂashing during the boot up phase, move the SETTINGS switch up and

down repeatedly.

The Logo will then light up with a rosé ﬂutter ﬂash before reverting to white.

Firmware update

Firmware updates are done via the Neumann.Contol software. When it is opened it surveys

the network for loudspeakers and checks if the ﬁrmware is up to date. If a ﬁrmware update is

needed, you will be prompted to follow the on-screen instructions. It takes approximately 10

seconds per loudspeaker to do the update.
