RackAmps. HelpfulUInformation - Triad RackAmp 700 DSP RackAmp 700 has many significant changes from previous Triad RackAmps. They are highlighted in bold italic.

RackAmp 700 DSP now has EQ Profiles for all current Triad Sub models (some require 8 ohm enclosures). A new FLAT selection has no model EQ and its Sub High Pass Filter is switched OFF. If youo doo NOT see youroTriad subwooferomodelVopleaseocontactoTriadofor help"

Press front standby button to temporarily disable amp in all Power On Methodsexcept Manual; light flashes blue to show amp is disabled. This no longer turns Power OnMethod to Manual. To resume normal function, press front Standby button again. Solid bluelight shows amp is ON. Red lighto shows ampo isoinoStandby"oFlashing red indicates amp is in Protection.

Protection - No output? Front panel light ring flashes red when amp is in protection. Press any button for the display to show protection mode (short, thermal,over voltage). Check subwoofer speaker cable for shorts and check amp for inadequate ventilation. If hot, power amp OFF and let it cool down (can take up to 30 min). Reset RackAmp 700 DSP by switching off its Mains power switch, next to back panel power cord, for 30+ seconds. Questions? Contact Triad sales & support at 1.800.666.6316.

InputU Selection & OutputsU LU In User Menu select desired Input from default RCA (LFE unbalanced), XLR (balanced), and Speaker. oOnlyo theo selectedo input gets amplified"o oSpeaker Level Inputs cannot pass thru to any output. Forodaisyo chainingVo only the selected XLR or RCA Input now passes thru to its Output. And now both XLR and RCA Outputs can be highpass filtered & delayed either for bass management & time alignment of 2-channel systems or for multiple subs to produce different parts of the bass spectrum.

Menus - Menu changes now affect all inputs: RCA (unbalanced), XLR (Balanced) and Speaker inputs can now be filtered. Menu changes occur in real time. What you see is what you hear. All changes are saved instantly and automatically. Volume changes are no longer volatile. User Volume default is still 00dB but switching amp to Standby no longer resets Volume to default. User Volume should now be used for permanent gain matching; there is no Input Gain adjustment in Installer Menu.

Presets change sound to suit your circumstances. Default Preset is Normal (identical to previous model's Reference Preset). Cinema Preset boosts bottom end at 40Hz for extra oomph during movies. Night preset reduces deep subwoofer frequencies under 35Hz as a courtesy to family, friends, and neighbors. User 1, User 2, and User 3 custom presets are configured via IP (only) for special circumstances or different listeners using 2 parametric filters & a separate default Volume per User Preset. The amplifier maintains its preset when put into standby. For repeatability, calibrate to default Normal preset.

RackAmp 700 DSP drives speaker loads of 4 ohms or higher. Use with 8 ohm Mini & Bronze subs only, as singles or in pairs.Advanced Features: To set up 6 Band Room EQ & 3 User Presets via computer IP, connect via LAN or directly using standard Ethernet Cable. See "IP Setup and Advanced Features" document on our website, www.TriadSpeakers.com.
