2. Connections
1) Connection of the microphone.
Insert the microphone’s 3-pin male XLR plug into the 3-pin female XLR socket on the
microphone jack. Once the plug clicks into place, the lever on the XLR socket on the
microphone jack must be pressed to remove the microphone. Note: The phantom power
required for the operation of a condenser microphone capsule is continuously present with
a voltage of 24V.
As a reminder, the wiring standard for the XLR socket is :
1: ground
2: + signal (hot spot)
3: signal - (cold spot)
3. Connection to a Dante
TM
network
Connect the RJ45 jack to an Ethernet switch that supports at least 100 MBits/s (Fast
Ethernet). The power supply for the microphone jack is provided directly via the PoE 802.3
af standard cable.
3. Configuring a Dante™ Network
1) Start the Dante Controller software.
2) Wait until the devices visible on the network appear in the software matrix. Note: If a
device does not appear, there are several possible reasons, including :
- the device is not switched on / powered
- the device is in another subnet
- the device cannot be synchronized with other Dante™ devices
For either of the two reasons listed last, the Dante™ device must be shown at least in the
Network View under the «Device Info» or «Clock Status» tab. Stopping and then restarting
the speaker could be a quick fix to the problem. Further information can be found in the
Audinate Dante Controller manual.
3) From the Dante™ Controller menu bar, select «Device / Device View» or press the
Ctrl+D key combination. The «Device View» window will appear.
4) From the drop-down menu below the menu bar, select the speaker to be configured.
5) In the third tab «status», various information about the device is available.
6) Click the «Device Config» tab. If necessary, adapt the «Sample Rate» to that used in the
Dante™ network (all devices must have the same sample rate in order to work together).
7) In the «Rename Device» field, it is possible to modify the name used for the device in the
Dante network, for better identification. Confirm any modification by pressing the «Apply»
button.
8) From the «Network Config» tab, you can change the network settings for the speaker’s
Dante™ interface if necessary.
