PA-225NET - Getting Started

2 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

Use Kramer high performance cables.

Use only the power adapter that is supplied with this machine

Go to http://www.kramerav.com/downloads/PA-225NET to check for up-to-

date user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware

upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due

to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low

quality cables)

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your Kramer PA-225NET away from moisture, excessive sunlight

and dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

2.2 Safety Instructions

Caution:

There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit

Warning:

Use only the Kramer Electronics power supply that is

provided with the unit

Warning:

Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall

before installing

PA-225NET - Overview

3 Overview

The Kramer PA-225NET is a high performance, networked power amplifier that

accepts Dante a network and two balanced, mono audio inputs on 3-pin terminal

blocks and converts the signal into a differential stereo audio output for speakers

on a 4-pin terminal block.

The PA-225NET Power Amplifier features:

Dante and analog local inputs

2 x 25W into 8Ω

2 x 35W into 4Ω

A balanced line-level output

Independent volume control per input

Priority switching between the Dante and local inputs

The PA-225NET Power Amplifier is housed in a Kramer TOOLS enclosure.

5 Connecting the PA-225NET

This chapter comprises the following sections:

Connecting the PA-225NET (see Section 5.1)

Wiring the inputs (see Section 5.2)

Connecting the remote controls (see Section 5.3)

5.1 Connecting the PA-225NET

Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your

PA-225NET. After connecting your PA-225NET, connect its power and

then switch on the power to each device.

Figure 2: Connecting the PA-225NET Power Amplifier

PA-225NET - Connecting the PA-225NET

To connect the PA-225NET as illustrated in the example in Figure 2:

1. Connect a balanced, stereo audio source, (for example, a multimedia player)

to the 6-pin Local In terminal block, (see Section 5.2).

2. Connect a Dante network audio source to the Dante RJ-45 connector.

3. Set the Priority slide-switch to the required position, (see Section 6.2).

4. Connect the 3-pin Line Out 1 terminal block to the audio acceptor, (for

example, a recording device).

5. Connect a remote volume control, (for example, the W-LM) to the Remote

4-pin terminal block, (pins +V, LEVEL, and GND).

6. Connect a remote, momentary mute-switch to the Remote 4-pin terminal

block, (pins Mute and GND).

7. Connect the speakers to the Speaker 4-pin terminal block.

8. Connect the power adapter to the PA-225NET and plug the power adapter

into the mains power supply.

5.2 Wiring the Inputs

Your PA-225NET is provided with a 3-pin terminal block for its input connection.

This connector can accept either a balanced or an unbalanced connection,

however some modifications must be made for an unbalanced connection.

5.2.1 Wiring Balanced Inputs

When using a balanced input source and connector, you must ensure that the hot,

cold, and ground pins of the connector are matched up to the +, –, and ground

pins of the PA-225NET terminal block connector respectively. The following

diagrams illustrate how to connect standard XLR and TRS connectors.
