Front Panel Description
1
Signal/Overload LED meters
indicate the presence of significant audio signal or overload for Inputs and Outputs. These 3-color
meters indicate the available headroom once the analog signal has been converted to digital: -4 dBFS (red, near clipping), -12
dBFS (yellow, high normal level), and -48 dBFS (green, low level). The analog signal level depends on the input and output set-
tings and is displayed in Drag Net’s
Meter
window.
2
AES3 LOCK LED
lights solidly when a valid AES3 digital signal is detected on the AES3 input jack. There does not need to be
an audio signal present at the input, only the “carrier” signal.
3
PRESET LED
displays the number of the most recently recalled Preset, numbered 0 through 24.
4
VIP LED
flashes when a change is detected on the Versatile Input Port (VIP). This port is used for direct electrical connections to
potentiometers, switches or other logic ports. See Control Connections on page Manual-4 for details.
5
ETHERNET LED
flashes when an Ethernet data packet for this device is received.
6
STATUS LED
reflects the overall status of the unit:
Red
- initializing (briefly) or possible internal error.
Yellow
- working, but not currently processing audio.
Green
- processing audio.
7
POWER LED
lights solidly when the unit is powered on.
1
POWER IEC jack
connects to AC line voltage, 100-240 VAC ±10%. Use the 3-prong IEC power cable (included).
2
Balanced analog audio INPUTS 1 and 2
on Euroblock connectors.
3
Balanced analog audio OUTPUTS 1 through 6
on Euroblock connectors. Same wiring notes as the Inputs.
4
AES3 digital audio INPUT
is an XLR female connector. See Digital AES3 Input on page Manual-3.
5
VERSATILE INPUT PORT
provides 8 logic or voltage inputs for remote level control and Preset recall on a Euroblock
connector. See Control Connections on page Manual-4.
6
LAN and LINK
reflect the state of the Ethernet connection. LINK lights solidly when a valid connection to another Ethernet
device (e.g., a PC) is detected. LAN flashes when communicating with another Ethernet device.
7
10Base-T jack
accepts a standard Ethernet cable with a RJ-45 connector. See Control Connections on page Manual-4.
8
DEFAULT button
recalls Preset 1 when pressed. Holding this button while applying power puts the unit into a codeload mode
for updating firmware.
