Getting Started
This device features a browser-based web application, which controls audio and network properties. Upon completing this basic setup process, you will
be able to:
• Access the web application to customize audio settings, signal routing, and network properties
• Use Dante™ Controller software to connect with other Dante devices and pass audio
• Access additional configuration information
Step 1: Connect to a Network
1. Use an Ethernet cable (CAT5e or higher) to con-
nect the P300 to a network switch.
Note: The network switch must provide Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+). Make
sure to connect to a PoE+ port, since many switches do not supply power on all
ports.
2. Connect a computer to the network switch with an Ethernet cable

Step 3: Connect Devices in Dante Controller
Software
1. Download and install Dante Controller Software
from http://www.audinate.com
2. Use Dante Controller to create connections with other Dante devices.
Important: For Shure devices with integrated automatic mixing (such as
the MXA910), connect independent channels to the P300 Dante input
channels to ensure effective acoustic echo cancellation.
Note: Refer to the Dante Controller user guide for more information
on channel routing (available at http://www.audinate.com/resources/
technical-documentation)
Example: Connecting the P300 and Shure MXA910

1. Find the MXA910 in the list of Dante transmitters, and
select the plus sign (+) to show all channels.
2. Find the P300 in the list of Dante receivers, and
select the plus sign (+) to show all channels.
3. Connect channels 1-8 from the MXA910 to Dante input
channels 1-8 on the P300. Do not use the automix
output from the MXA910 into the P300.
Step 4: Configure Audio
The final configuration steps will vary, depending on the signal processing
required and hardware connected to the P300. These steps provide a
general guideline. Specific steps are included in the system examples.
1. Connect analog, USB, and mobile audio devices
2. Route signals in the matrix mixer
3. Adjust input and output levels in the input and output tabs
4. Turn on digital signal processing blocks as needed
5. Set the AEC reference channel by opening the AEC menu in the
schematic view or inputs tab and selecting a channel from the
pull-down menu. Use the channel that carries audio to loudspeak-
ers as the AEC reference.
Analog -- To Speaker
is the most
common channel for this application, in configurations using an
analog loudspeaker system or the built-in speaker on a display.
