NETWORK AUDIO CONFIGURATION
RideAmp-350Q supports the industry-standard Dante and AES67 protocols for audio distribution. If you’ve used
other devices based on these standards, setting up the audio inputs of this amplifier will be a piece of cake.
All Alcorn McBride devices that support Dante are shipped with DHCP mode enabled by default. However, it’s
strongly recommended to assign a static IP address to each device to prevent to avoid addressing issues the next
time the amplifier is powered up.
Whether you use DHCP or static IP addresses, the goal is to get all of your devices on the same subnet so that
they can interface to one another. Once this is taken care of, you can follow these steps to patch RidePlayer (or
another network audio transmitter) to the RideAmp-350Q.
1.
Launch the Dante Controller application on your Windows or OS X computer.
2.
Click on Device Info to view the current IP address, firmware version, and link speed. If their IP
addresses are configured properly, you should see both the RidePlayer and RideAmp in this list.
3.
Click on Routing tab to make your first audio patch or subscription. Remember the Rideamp-350Q is
capable of receiving 4 audio inputs. Let’s go ahead and patch the 4 audio inputs of RideAmp to the first 4
audio outputs of RidePlayer by clicking the grid intersection of these items.
4.
You’re good to go! Both the RidePlayer and RideAmp will retain these settings from now on.
