Audio Routing without Backup Amplifier
The figure(Audio Routing with Backup Amplifier) shows the amplifier backup case for audio routing.
When a error of normal amplifier is detected by IDA8X, IDA8X will change audio path from normal
amplifier to backup amplifier, and generate a fault to warning user that there was an amplifier fault
detected by system, please take care about it.
Audio Routing with Backup Amplifier
Share the Backup Amplifier
For the most of case, two amplifier should not be failure at the same time, it means the possibility of
more than two amplifier failure is pretty low. It is no necessary to have a backup amplifier for each
zone, because most of time the back up amplifiers are just wait for the case of normal amplifier fail.
If one of normal amplifier fail, one backup amplifier can take over immediately, at the mean time,
technical stuff should switch the bad amplifier at a short time. During the time of amplifier backup, It
is almost not possible to have another amplifier fail. Base on this concept, IDA8 system provide a
flexible mechanism of amplifier backup. One backup amplifier can service multiple zones. In preview
figures it demonstrate how a backup amplifier work when normal amplifier of zone 2 is failure, but the
