AFM-20DSP –Introduction

Introduction

Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world

of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront the

video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we

have redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better!

Getting Started

We recommend that you:

•Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for

possible future shipment.

•Review the contents of this user manual.

Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/AFM-20DSP or

www.kramerav.com/downloads/AFM-20DSP-LE to check for up-to-date user manuals,

application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

Achieving the Best Performance

•Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-performance,

high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor

matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).

•Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils.

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence

signal quality.

•Position your Kramer AFM-20DSP / AFM-20DSP-LE away from moisture, excessive

sunlight and dust.

Safety Instructions

Caution:

•This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be connected to other

equipment that is installed inside a building.

•For products with relay terminals and GPI\O ports, please refer to the permitted rating

for an external connection, located next to the terminal or in the User Manual.

•There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit.

Kramer Electronics Ltd.

AFM-20DSP –Introduction

Warning:

•Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit.

•Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall before installing.

•Do not open the unit. High voltages can cause electrical shock! Servicing by qualified

personnel only.

•To ensure continuous risk protection, replace fuses only according to the rating

specified on the product label which located on the bottom of the unit.

Recycling Kramer Products

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC aims to reduce

the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by requiring it to be collected

and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive, Kramer Electronics has made

arrangements with the European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any

costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on

arrival at the EARN facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular

country go to our recycling pages at www.kramerav.com/support/recycling.

AFM-20DSP –Introduction

AFM-20DSP and AFM-20DSP-LE provide exceptional quality, advanced and user-friendly

operation, and flexible control.

Exceptional Quality

•High-Performance, Professional Audio Matrix Switcher –Professional, studio grade

signal conversion technology, including the latest generation 32-bit advanced Digital

Analog Converter architecture to achieve excellent dynamic performance and improved

tolerance to clock jitter. Maintains the quality of the original audio signal with selectable

sampling rates up to 96kHz. Flat frequency response, unmatched sonic performance,

excellent signal to noise ratio, and extraordinarily low distortion levels.

•Multi-Channel Processing –Provides DSP (Digital Sound Processing) that enables

simultaneous processing of all input and output signals.

•Programmable –Supports up to 10 global presets per I/O configuration plus 10 mixer

snapshot presets.

•Audio De-embedding for AFM-20DSP only –De-embeds the audio signal from the HDMI

input for routing to any of the outputs or for routing to the loop output.

Advanced and User-friendly Operation

•Intuitive and Comprehensive Configuration and Control –Via a powerful, user-friendly

graphic interface, set volume (gain and attenuation) and DSP per input, execute routing,

select line in, mic in, phantom power or line out on each port, configure master level and

more.

•Convenient Control –Via the user-friendly embedded webpages and RS-232 serial

controller, control signal routing, independent volume.

•Easy, Cost-Effective Maintenance –LED indicators for main power, line in/out, mic in,

clipping (power amp, Dante sync, and HDMI for AFM-20DSP only), enable easy local

maintenance and troubleshooting. Local firmware upgrade via the USB type-A port

ensures lasting, field-proven deployment.
