DLM-1 Series Installation Guide V1.0

Configuration
The mic and line inputs on the module will be available to the network once the DLM-1 has been routed to a Dante receiver
using Dante Controller or equivalent software. If AES67 interoperability mode is enabled and set up for the DLM-1 (through
Dante Controller
Device Options
), then it may alternatively be connected to an AES67-compliant receiver (note that
additional configuration procedures may be required).
The relative volume of the mic and line sources will be determined by the module’s level controls.
The Dante Controller screengrab below shows a single DLM-1 (the transmitter) and a Cloud CDI-CA4 Dante input card (the
receiver). In a real-world Dante network, there will be many more transmitters and receivers. Note that any Dante-compliant
device (amplifier, mixer, etc.) may act as the receiver.
In this example, Channel 1 of the DLM-1 is routed to Input 1 of the CDI-CA4 card. On the DLM-1, Channel 1 is idented in the
software as
01 Mix Mono / Mix L / Line Mono
. The DLM-1’s Channel 1 output is a mono mix of all the module’s
inputs: use
only
Channel 1 for routing.
Connecting multiple DLM-1s
Two or more DLM-1s may be installed in the same audio system Zone. This enables microphones and music sources to be
connected at different locations within a single Zone (typically one of large area or complex layout).
The “interconnection” of multiple DLM-1s is achieved using Dante Controller. The DLM-1 is a Dante receiver as well as a
transmitter, and the output of one DLM-1 may be routed to the input of another. The receiving DLM-1 will mix the mono audio
from the first module with its own inputs, and make a composite mix of all audio sources available to the network.
Each DLM-1 should be connected independently to the network switch serving the area (using a PoE injector for each if
necessary).
