Remote Power On/Off

In fixed installations the amplifiers are often located at some distance from the control room. For this and other reasons (most often safety regulations), the ability to remotely power on/off the amplifiers is a requirement. While expensive external power sequencers can do the job, C Series amplifiers with their on-board NomadLink® network have this functionality built in, saving a significant amount of money in the total installation project.

Adding the NLB 60E unit to the system provides local and remote amplifier control via the NomadLink network, and it also supplies phantom power to the internal NomadLink modules.

Power on/off buttons are directly accessible on the front panel of the NLB 60E, Additionally, if a PC is connected using Ethernet, amplifiers may be grouped for powering up simultaneously or sequentially. Groups can even be created across several subnets and NLB 60Es with the DeviceControl software.

The phantom-powered NomadLink network control means that the amplifiers do not consume any power while switched to stand-by mode. Only the NLB 60E must be powered continuously to maintain network communication.
