3.3 Koneksyon
Anvan ou fè nenpòt koneksyon, asire w ke ampLifitè a etenn epi li dekonekte nan ekipman pou pouvwa a.
3.3.1 Koneksyon Antre Odyo
Konekte sous odyo ou a (pa egzanp, mixer, pre-amplifier) nan amplifier's input connectors. The DCI2x600N typically uses balanced XLR or Phoenix-style connectors for inputs. Refer to the rear panel for specific input types.
3.3.2 Koneksyon Sòti Odyo
Konekte loudspeakers ou a amplifier's output terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) and that the speaker impedance matches the amplifier's specifications. The DCI2x600N supports various output configurations, including low impedance and 70V/100V constant voltage sistèm yo.
3.3.3 Network Connection (N-model)
For network control and monitoring, connect an Ethernet cable from your network switch or router to the amplifier's network port. This allows integration with Harman's HiQnet Audio Architect software.
3.3.4 Koneksyon pouvwa
Konekte kòd kouran AC ki vini ak la a amplifier's IEC inlet and then to a suitable mains power outlet. Ensure the power outlet provides the correct voltage and current rating for the amplifier.

Imaj sa a montre amplifier's front face, featuring the Crown logo on the left, a central display panel with LED indicators for Fault, Thermal, Clip, Signal, and Ready states for two channels, and the model number "2 600N DRIVECore INSTALL" on the right. A green illuminated power button is also visible on the far right.
4. Operasyon Enstriksyon
4.1 Limen/Etenyen
- Pouvwa sou: Press the power button located on the front panel. The power indicator will illuminate.
- Pouvwa Off: Press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the unit powers down.
4.2 Endikatè Front Panel
The central display panel provides visual feedback on the amplifier's status:
- FAY: Illuminates if a fault condition is detected (e.g., short circuit, DC offset).
- Tèmik: Endike a amplifier is overheating. The unit may reduce output or shut down to protect itself.
- CLIP: Illuminates when the input signal is too high, causing distortion. Reduce input level to prevent clipping.
- -20dB, -10dB, SIGNAL: These LEDs indicate the input signal level for each channel. The SIGNAL LED illuminates when an audio signal is present.
- PARE: Limen lè a amplifier is powered on and ready to pass audio.
- DONE: (Next to Power button) Indicates network activity for the N-model.
4.3 Network Control and Monitoring
The DCI2x600N amplifier can be controlled and monitored remotely via a network connection using Harman's HiQnet Audio Architect software. This allows for configuration of input/output routing, DSP settings, monitoring of amplifier status, and more.
- Install HiQnet Audio Architect software on a connected computer.
- Dekouvri a amplifier sou rezo a.
- Access and configure amplifier parameters as needed.
5. Antretyen
5.1 Netwayaj
Detanzantan netwaye amplifier's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents. Ensure ventilation grilles are free from dust and debris to maintain proper airflow.
5.2 Vantilasyon
Tcheke regilyèman ke amplifier's ventilation openings are not obstructed. Proper airflow is crucial for preventing overheating and ensuring long-term reliability.
NAN. Depanaj
| Pwoblèm | Kòz posib | Solisyon |
