NUAGE I/O (16D) / NUAGE I/O (16A) / NUAGE I/O (8A8D) Operation Manual
Precautions for Rack
Mounting
This unit is rated for operation at ambient temperatures
ranging from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius. When mounting the
unit with other device(s) in an EIA standard equipment
rack, internal temperatures can exceed the specified
upper limit, resulting in impaired performance or failure.
When rack mounting the unit, always observe the
following requirements to avoid heat buildup:
• When mounting the unit in a rack with devices such as
power amplifiers that generate a significant amount of
heat, leave more than 1U of space between NUAGE I/O
and other equipment. Also either leave the open spaces
uncovered or install appropriate ventilating panels to
minimize the possibility of heat buildup.
• To ensure sufficient airflow, leave the rear of the rack
open and position it at least 10 centimeters from walls or
other surfaces. If the rear of the rack can’t be left open,
install a commercially available fan or similar ventilating
option to secure sufficient airflow. If you’ve installed a
fan kit, there may be cases in which closing the rear of
the rack will produce a greater cooling effect. Refer to
the rack and/or fan unit manual for details.
Connection between the
Device and a Computer
The device can be connected to a computer in one of two
ways: with or without the DANTE ACCELERATOR. Using
the DANTE ACCELERATOR gives you the added
advantages of lower latency, using more channels, and
utilization of a redundant network. The descriptions in this
manual assume you are using the DANTE
ACCELERATOR.
To connect the device and a computer with the DANTE
ACCELERATOR, install the Dante Controller to the
computer. Dante Controller is a software application that
allows configuration and audio routing of the Dante
network.
When not using the DANTE ACCELERATOR, install the
Dante Controller and DVS (Dante Virtual Soundcard).
Dante Controller is a software application that allows
configuration and audio routing of the Dante network. DVS
is a software application that uses the computer as a
Dante-enabled device.
Dante Controller is available on the following website.

DVS is commercially available on the following website.

For details on Dante Controller and DVS, refer to the
respective manuals.
