AUDIO INPUTS
The network audio inputs are the best way to feed audio into
the RideAmp, which means it needs to be connected to the
same network as a device that can source network audio.
RidePlayer is the designed to be the ideal audio source for
RideAmp. You can easily interface them without any network
switch hardware by connecting a standard M12 X-Code patch
cable between the Primary network audio port of RidePlayer
to network port A of RideAmp. Other audio source options
could be your computer (using Dante Virtual Sound Card) or
a DSP core. Either way, the concept is the same; RideAmp
needs to be connected to the same audio network as the
source device.
In addition to the physical network connection, Dante and
AES67 network audio need to be configured for audio to
route properly from RidePlayer to RideAmp. We’ll cover the
details of that in a little bit but, for now, you will need to connect your computer to the audio network as well.
This should be done by connecting an RJ45
à
M12 X-Coded cable or adapter between your computer and the
Secondary port of RidePlayer.
SPEAKER OUTPUTS
To make great sound, we’re going to have to move some air! For this, we
recommend at least one 4
W
or 8
W
unpowered speaker. Keep in mind that
the RideAmp-350Q can output up to 350W of power from a single unbridged
output, so choose your speaker wisely or you might accidentally let the
smoke out of it!
The next step is pretty simple. Connect the positive (+) terminal of Speaker
Output 1 to the positive (+) input of the speaker. Connect the negative (-)
terminal of Speaker Output 1 to the (-) terminal of the speaker. Rinse and
repeat for any other speakers that you wish to connect.
You’ll need to terminate these connections into a Molex Mini-Fit Jr.
connector, so be sure to check out the
