Application Examples
Dual Mode Low-Z (2Ω, 4Ω, 8Ω, or 16Ω) Output Operation
Typical input and output wiring, along with Audio Architect
software settings, are shown in
.
Inputs
If using analog inputs, connect the inputs with wiring in
place for each channel. If the same signal is to drive both
outputs of a channel pair, the input signal can be sent to
adjacent amplifier channels using the "Y" options (see
Outputs
Maintain proper polarity (+/–) on output connectors.
Connect the channel 1 speaker’s positive (+) lead to the
amplifier channel 1 positive terminal; repeat for negative
(–). Repeat channel 2 wiring as for channel 1, and for any
subsequent channel pairs on multichannel models.
Dante
When connecting via Dante, two Dante-equipped devices
can be connected directly together using the Primary
Dante ports. If connecting more than two Dante devices,
the Primary ports of each device should be connected to
a network switch (this is a referred to as a "star" network
topology).
100Mbps network switches and Category 5 cabling can be used for smaller Dante networks, where smaller channel counts and/or lower sample rates are used. For optimum
performance and improved reliability, a Gigabit network and Category 5e or Category 6 cabling should be used. Visit the Audinate
®
website for more information.
To provide fault protection when using Dante, connect the Secondary ports of all Dante devices to a secondary (separate) network switch. If any "primary" cable connections
or the "primary" switch fail, the "secondary" Dante network will automatically take over.
For further information on Dante, refer to

NOTE:
Always route the input and output wires in separate bundles.
WARNING:
Only connect to networks that remain inside the building.
