1. Connect an external audio device or TV to Dampf via the AUX-in. It automatically switches between Bluetooth and AUX-in, always giving priority to Bluetooth. Dampf AUX-out unit can be used as a pre-amplifier allowing easy pairing via Bluetooth, volume control and name + PIN configuration.
2. Control the maximum volume here. Each channel has its own trimmer. By selecting a maximum limit, you can determine the ideal sound level.
3. Add your Dampf speakers. A wide range of ceiling/in-wall and external speakers can be connected to the Dampf unit. It is advisable to use no more than up to 6 speakers per Dampf unit.
4. Power input. This is all Dampf needs to play your music.
5. Give your speaker a unique name and PIN code by using this RJ45 plug using Dampf’s custom software and renaming-kit. It is just a matter of seconds.
6. The LED indicators show Dampf’s status.
7. Screw holes for attaching the Dampf unit to a surface.
Main Components
How it works
The four main blocks of the unit work together as follows:
- The Bluetooth module, which is connected to a ceramic antenna, independently looks for Bluetooth devices (i.e. smartphones) and "pairs" with a device (only one at a time) if it fulfils the requirements.
- The resulting audio signal is sent to a pre-amplifier which boosts it and sends it to the power amplifier.
- The power amplifier signal is then sent to the external speakers.
- The controller checks the status of the other modules and will channel the flow as required. Another important element of the in-unit design is the safeguarding of the power quality (not shown in photo) that minimises noise in all modules and allows use of (external) switched power supplies.
