Routing A20-Nexus Receiver Audio to Dante Outputs
The A20-Nexus receiver’s outputs [1-8] are hardwired to its Dante transmit channels [1-8] respectively.
Dante transmit channel labels [1-8] are populated from the transmitter/receiver channel names [1-8] respectively.
Use Dante Controller running on a MAC or PC computer to route Nexus’s Dante outputs to any Dante device on the network.
See https://www.audinate.com/products/software/dante-controller
Note:
A20-Nexus stores its Dante routing to/from other Dante devices, even after power cycling. As such, once setup, the computer
running Dante Controller is no longer required unless the routing needs to be changed.
The A20-Nexus is identified on a Dante network by its ‘A20-Nexus Name’. The default A20-Nexus Name is A20-Nexus-[last 6
characters of the Nexus’s MAC address]. This name can be changed using Dante Controller or from the A20-Nexus’s Network
menu.
Routing A20-Nexus Receiver Audio or Dante Inputs to Analog or AES Outputs
The A20-Nexus’s top and bottom D-Sub 25-pin connectors can be set to output receiver channel audio or incoming Dante audio as
analog (line, -10, mic level) or AES signal. By default, the D-Sub outputs are set to output receiver channels.
Configure what to output from the top and bottom D-Sub connectors in the Audio Out > ‘Top D-Sub Output’ and ‘Bottom D-Sub
Output’ lists. The options for both D-Subs are:
●
Disabled
●
RX 1-8 → Line
●
RX 1-8 → 10
●
RX 1-8 → Mic
●
RX 1-8 → AES
●
Dante 1-8 → Line
●
Dante 1-8 → -10
●
Dante 1-8 → Mic
●
