OPERATION MANUAL
NOVEMBER 2016
Installation
Each unit requires a space of 1.75 inch (44mm) high, 8.7 inch (221mm) wide with 10.47 inch (266mm)
depth and may be mounted on a flat surface or in a rack enclosure.
Install the unit away from heat sources, such as vents and radiators, and in rooms with adequate
ventilation. Ensure that air can circulate freely behind, beside, and above the unit where possible. Do not
exceed the ambient operating temperature of 104 F (42C). Be aware of conditions in an enclosed rack
that may cause the temperature to exceed ambient room conditions.
Rack Mounting
The unit ships with one 1.75 inch (44mm) high and 19 inch (483mm) wide rack mount panel. This is
designed to connect up to two A460H amplifiers. The rack mount kit includes eight screws, four nuts and
a faceplate.
Rack mounting the amplifiers is achieved by aligning the supplied rack panel faceplate holes with the
corresponding holes in the front of the amplifier and screwing them together.
If only one amplifier is used, then the additional four supplied screws and nuts may be used to blank off
the four remaining open holes in the rack panel.
Mounting the faceplate using screws with washers (not supplied) will prevent marring of the front panel.
Custom mounting
Mounting holes that fit four #4 sheet metal screws (not supplied) are available on the top cover of the
amplifier.
NOTE
Any screws used must not exceed inch (6mm) depth into the top of the A460H enclosure
Operational guidelines
CAUTION
Attention should be paid to the Connections and Setup sections to configure the signal
path correctly from the input device.
AC Power Socket
Provides for connection of the appropriate power cord. Each amplifier uses a switch mode power supply
that has an operating voltage of 100-240V at 50/60 Hz.
CAUTION
Do not remove or defeat the ground prong on the power cord, as this will constitute a shock hazard. Equipment should be
connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection. This plug is the main disconnecting device and should
remain readily operable. There are no user interchangeable parts. Please contact Biamp Technical Support or your local distributor
for all service requirements.
Speaker Connection
To minimize power loss, use a speaker cable of appropriate gauge for the load impedance. For long
speaker cables, choose a low capacitance cable to minimize high frequency loss. Use the supplied plugin barrier strip connectors to connect loudspeaker outputs. If stranded speaker wire is used, be sure to
incorporate all strands into the connector, as stray strands can short to the adjacent terminal or chassis.
Do not leave excessive bare wire outside the terminals, as this can lead to shorts. Use of the supplied
cable restraints is required to secure the cable in the connector. To facilitate parallel wiring, each
connector allows for the connection of two conductors to each amplifier channel.
A460H Connections
Input Wiring
All wiring examples are Single Channel Connections

All wiring examples are Single Channel Connections
A460H - Setup
Gain staging
The amplifier channels are intended to be used with the default output blocks available in Tesira Software.
Care should be taken to match the speaker load to the output capabilities (wattage) of the amplifier. For example, if a
low-impedance single channel speaker load is 60 watts you are perfectly matched at the nominal input level.
Speaker loads less than the rated output of the amplifier will require adjustment to the analog output of the output
device.
Note
To keep correct input level and noise floor ratio the use of the Full Scale analog output attenuation on the output device should be
used to adjust the input gain being sent to the amplifier.
Constant Voltage mode, the CV, Bridge, and HPF switches must be enabled. The amplifier only supports
Constant Voltage mode when the amplifier channels are bridged.
For 70V operation the nominal signal being sent from the output device to the amplifier input should be 0dbu.
For 100V operation increasing the nominal signal being sent from the output device to the amplifier input should be
+1.6dbu.
Note
The HPF (High Pass Filter) switch should be enabled as part of the 70V or 100V configuration.
The Bridge switch must be enabled when using the amplifier in 70V or 100V mode.
