Hi. I've had a couple of k10's for a while now and been using them with external dsp.I've just got a m50 q so I can run armonia but I can't seem to get audio from 1 amp to the next or from Chanel 1/2 to 3/4 on the m50q.I connect the ethernet cables the right way and I've tried everything in the Input routing window but I can't seem to get audio linked.Can someone help me please!!

Conor

Hi.  The m50q does not accept audio thru ethernet.  it is for control only.

I'm not sure I fully understand the OP's question.  If you are trying to route audio from module 1 to module 2 I haven't figured it out either.  I gather the modules aren't connected internally.  I ended up using A "y" cable and the link buttons to get audio to all 4 channels.

Correct. The four channel M series is just 2x two channel M series in one case. It’s literally two amps with one mains input.

am i right in thinking that the outputs are on 4 separate speakons too? as in.. you can't connect 4 core to speakon A and have channel B on the +/_2 pins?

You can, but it not that easy.  Chan A is on pins +1 and -1 like normal but channel B uses pin -1 for (+) and pin -2 for (-).

The output channels are out of phase referenced to ground for the amp to better use the power supply. 

Had me scratching my head for a min.

That’s not correct. You can use a normal 4 core cable to use a channel pair, it even says this on the back of the amp.

They’re commonly used for biamp boxes, so low on ch1, high on ch2. One 4 core cable from channel 1 carries both outputs and you just link input XLR either on the rear or in Armonia preset.

Yes the internals are polarity flipped but so are the connectors so there’s no changes needed by the user and it’s not of concern in operation.
