signal level switch for the input signals
that allows you to define if the input level is set to a
reverence voltage of -10dBV (common for home and HiFi audio equipment) or +4dBu
(common for professional studio equipment).
3. Connection / Usage
Before using planet 22c, you need to decide if you use the included 12V DC power supply or if you
can provide power via the network cable (PoE). For PoE operation either a PoE switch that supplies
power via the network cable or a so-called PoE injector is in between network cables is required.
planet 22c can convert analog audio signals to a digital signal on the Dante network. A typical
usage would be the output of a microphone preamp or an analog mixing desk or a synthesizer or
any other device. Verify the signal levels your audio device works with, adjust the input signal level
switch accordingly and connect the audio cables. Within the Dante network these signals then can
be routed to any destination, i.e. to a digital mixing console or the DVS software.
planet 22c can also convert digital signals from the Dante network to analog audio signals. A
typical usage would be to send signals to a pair of studio monitors or to a power amplifier. Double
check the input level of your audio device and adjust the output signal level switch accordingly
when you connect the audio cables. From the Dante network these signals can be sent from any
source, i.e. from a digital mixing console or a computer using the DVS software.
Both operations (converting analog to digital and converting digital to analog) can be performed
simultaneously.
4. Dante Controller software
The Dante Controller software is a free software from Audinate for Mac and PC that allows you to
configure the routing of audio signals between all devices on the Dante network. It automatically
detects any Dante compatible device and provides options to label channels and change the routing
with a few simple clicks.
The software is available for download via the Audinate website www.audinate.com.
