VCA port selector for remote control of channel volume, with a total of 4 or 6 ports,
depending on the NZA amplifier model. Connecting for example a potentiometer
to the VCA port of a channel of the amplifier allows you to remote control its
volume.
The maximum volume of a channel, whether it is assigned to a VCA port or not,
will always be determined by the position of its hardware volume control (see
previous section, LEVEL).
Note: a same VCA port can be assigned to several amplifier channels for a
simultaneous remote control of all assigned channels.
Metering of the control voltage detected at the selected VCA port (port B in the
example). The metering is proportional to the volume control applied to the
channel: 0 dB indicates maximum volume (zero attenuation due to VCA remote
control).

Clicking on the configuration edit icon opens the parameter setting window:
For NZA series amplifiers, adjustable parameters are:
 Amplifier total Gain: 26 / 32 dB
 Output Mode: SINGLE / BRIDGE / PARALLEL.
In SINGLE mode, a channel is absolutely independent of the other amplifier channels for all
settings (input selection, volume, EQ, compressor settings, etc.). In this mode, each channel has
its own control window in EclerNet Manager.
In BRIDGE and PARALLEL modes, channels are linked, set and controlled by pair, appearing in
software as a unique control panel for each pair of linked channels. Possible pairs are always
made of consecutive channels: 1&2, 3&4, 5&6 (depending on NZA device, whether 4 or 6
channels).
 Compressor Mode: COMPRESSOR /VPEAK LIMITER (voltage peak limiter).
It determines how the GUI of the channel compressor will look, with a choice between the aspect
of a classic compressor and a voltage peak limiter for the output signal of the amplifier (see
section 6.6. COMPRESSOR).
