6. Integrating with an MLA System
CDD ‐ Live is ideally suited to being integrated with a Martin Audio Multicellular system, the entire system can be managed via a
single Vu ‐ Net project.
Connection to an MLA System is via the Merlin System controllers which are connected over Ethernet so it is very straightforward
to make the connection via a single Ethernet router which can include the Package switch supplied in an MLA Master rack. An
Ethernet Connection is fed out to all CDD ‐ Live cabinets either individually or daisy chaining up to eight speakers
Ethernet from the PC to the switch can be wired or wireless if remote configuration is required. This can be the Ruckus Wi ‐ Fi
system and Tablet PC supplied with an MLA or MLA Compact system, or your own wi ‐ fi infrastructure in an installed system as
long as the network supports DHCP.
An MLA Mini system can be connected either directly to the PC via a USB cable to one of the MSX Subs or also via a Merlin
Controller making use of the U ‐ Net ports on the MSX. The Merlin must be configured for Dynamic IP.
An all cases, when running Device Discovery in Vu ‐ Net all devices will be found regardless of the connection method employed.
