3.2.1 Indicators
The AV25-2 NET series has up to 4 rear panel LED indicators. The first
is the power indicator which will illuminate when power is supplied to
the amplifier. The second light is the signal present LED which will illu-
minate when signal is detected on either one of the input connection
channels. The final 2 LED indicators (only on the NET+ models) are the
“Clip” indicators, one for each channel. These lights will indicate that
the input signal is too “hot” and will sound distorted when amplified.
To fix this, the gain should be reduced at the preamp or mixer level.
3.2.2 Controls (NET+ Models Only)
All AV25-2 NET+ controls are located on the rear of the unit. There is
no power switch so the AV25-2 NET+ will turn on whenever power is
supplied to it.
The rear panel contains two individual channel volume knobs . The am-
plifier is set to run off of a line-level source and the level should be ad-
justed for optimum performance. To adjust this knob, you will need a
small flat-head screwdriver. While a typical program source level is
present, turn the rotary knob as far clockwise as you can without hear-
ing distortion or without the “Clip” indicator illuminating. If the signal is
distorting and the knob is all the way counter-clockwise, adjust the gain
down at the source level.
3.2.3 Signal Priority Switching (NET+ Models Only)
The AV25-2 NET+ amplifier includes selectable priority switching
which allows either the network or local input to override the other in-
put depending on the switch setting. The switch position should be set
to the priority input -- the signal that will interrupt the "normal" program.
When audio is detected on that priority input the amplifier will mute the
signal from the other ("normal") input. After an approximately 3.5 sec-
ond period with no signal on the priority channel, the "normal" signal
will be un-muted. For example, if a local microphone is to be used as a
priority page, set the priority switch to "Local". When a microphone
signal is detected the "normal" network audio will be muted and the
page will come through
3.3 Dante
If you have selected the Dante version of the AV25-2 NET series, con-
figuration is done using the Dante Controller software from Audinate.
Dante Controller Software can be found on Audinate’s website at
www.audinate.com
.
From there you can select Dante Controller under the Products section.
This will require registration for Audinate’s portal and also includes ac-
cess to the Dante Controller User Manual which should be read for
complete configuration instructions.
3.3.1 Using Audinate’s Dante Controller
Software
Once Dante Controller has been installed following the instructions in
the Dante Controller Software User Manual (found at
www.audinate.com
), launch the application to see the connection
matrix.
Unlike CobraNet, Dante does not require IP configuration or bundle
configuration. Instead, connections are made on the connection matrix
shown above
