• Power Dani ON / OFF by holding down the Power
Button for a few seconds
• A Green glowing Power Button means that Dani is
ON and operating as a
SKAA Transmitter
• In Green mode, Dani will feed up to 4 SKAA
Receivers at 36 ms of latency
• A Red glowing Power Button means that Dani is
ON and operating as a
SKAA Pro Transmitter
• In Red mode, Dani will feed up to 2 SKAA
Receivers at 19 ms of latency
• When powered on, you can change Dani’s
operational mode by triple clicking the Power
Button (click 3 times, fast). This reboots Dani and
you can watch the Power Button alternate between
Green and Red each time you triple click.
• Dani has a Global Volume control knob which
affects all downstream Receivers Bonded to this
particular Dani. If you want to affect individual
Receivers’ volumes to balance things out, use the
Local Volume controls on the Receivers
themselves.
• Turn Dani’s volume knob clockwise to increase the
volume and counter clockwise to decrease it
• The output level of your Receivers depends on
both the Receiver’s Local Volume (which is set by
the volume buttons or knob on the Receiver) and
the Global Volume (Dani’s volume knob)
• Global and Local Volume example: say Dani is set
to 50% and your Receiver is set to 80% then the
net output level from your Receiver will be 0.5 x
0.8 = 0.4 or 40%.
•
Level Setting
: Start by setting the Global Volume
on Dani to “full up”. Make sure your Receivers are
Bonded to Dani (see SKAA Receiver User’s Guide
later in this manual if you need help with this).
Watch the Bond Indicator on your Receiver(s) as
you crank the volume on Dani — the Bond Indicator
will flash with each volume step as you crank Dani
up. When it stops flashing, you know Dani’s
volume is at the top. Now back it down about 10
steps (you can feel the clicks as you turn the knob).
Set your Receivers to around 50 - 75% volume
using their Local Volume. Play some music
through Dani and adjust the Local Volume on your
Receivers to balance them relative to each other.
At least one of your Receivers should be at 100%
Local Volume. Now you can use the Global
Volume knob on Dani to control the whole speaker
network as one.
USER Panel: Power & Volume
Hold the Power Button
for a few seconds to
turn Dani ON / OFF
Volume Knob: Rotate to
adjust Global Volume — this
affects the volume on ALL
downstream Receivers
• Triple click Dani’s Volume Knob to mute all
downstream Receivers — you’ll see all their Bond
Indicators slow flash when you do this. Triple click
again to unmute all downstream Receivers.
• If you want to mute/unmute only specific
Receivers, triple click their individual Bond Buttons
(see SKAA Receiver User’s Guide later in this
document)
• All modern SKAA Receivers (those launched in
2019 and later), including the Soundboks Gen 3
speakers, Dillinger Labs Helix headphones and
Dillinger Labs Aquarius speakers, are compatible
with both
SKAA
and
SKAA Pro
operation — they will
automatically kick into whichever mode Dani is in
when they Bond to Dani
• When in SKAA mode (Green Power Button), Dani
will power off its radio transmitter (which will drop
Bond to all downstream Receivers) after 2.5
minutes of no audio (silence) on its inputs — and, if
it’s operating from its battery, Dani will
automatically power itself OFF 60 minutes later
• When in SKAA Pro mode (Red Power Button), Dani
will power off its radio Transmitter (which will drop
Bond to all downstream Receivers) after 20
minutes of no audio (silence) on its inputs — and, if
it’s operating from its battery, Dani will
automatically power itself OFF 60 minutes later
