This section of the user guide explains the functions of the C-Net control panel for the C5
DSP amplifiers. For further help and information on the main C-Net application please click
on the help button on the main application. For more detailed help about the C5 control
panel, click the “?” in the right-hand corner of the C5 control panel in C-Net.
Amplifier Channels
It is important to realize that each two channel amplifier section contains its’ own DSP. So
a four channel amplifier is logically split into two sections, each with two channels. There
is an independent two channel control panel associated with each section. Each section
will appear in C-Net as an independent ‘device’ in the Network Tree.
The Tree will add the Device Name with the Role Number for each of the sections in
square brackets. The Role Number 1 section is for Channels 1 and 2, and Role Number 2
for channels 3 and 4.
The descriptions of the C-Net control panel therefore relate to a 2-channel section.
The amplifier has two or four inputs and two or four outputs. There is not necessarily a
1:1 correspondence between inputs and output because the routing between inputs and
outputs may be changed; either by you or by Coda Audio (see the Hidden Controls section
for more details). For example, one input may be used to feed two outputs.
User Controls
The control panel for the DSP amplifier allows the parameters to be viewed and adjusted.
The panel may have one of two different formats: A monitoring panel (the ‘MonIcon’)
where the status of the amplifier may be viewed, or a full control panel where all the
controls to adjust parameters are located. The full panel has a ‘tabbed’ area which allows
you to choose from a number of different areas of interest.
There are some controls such as mute, which are displayed constantly; the remaining
parameter controls being organised into tabbed groups depending upon function.
