Using Dante
Clicking the
Advanced Settings
button from the Input Configuration panel (see
) or Output Configuration panel (see
) opens the Dante Advanced
Settings window (see
), where Dante and AES67 information is displayed.
Additional flexibility is provided when using the amplifier's Dante outputs. Clicking
the
Output Configuration
button from the Source Routing panel opens the Dante
Output Configuration panel (see
). From this panel, audio source signals
can be routed (or "on-ramped") back on to the Dante network from one of two signal
source points:
1�
Pre-processed audio from the analog inputs of the amplifier can be routed to
one of the 8 available Dante outputs.
NOTE:
The audio from the analog inputs will still pass through the amplifier
input gain stage. This means the signals will be affected by the Gain Mode,
Input Level, and Polarity settings—located in the Input Configuration panel (see
)—before being sent to the Dante network.
2�
Post-processed audio from an amplifier output channel can be routed to one of
the 8 available Dante outputs.
NOTE:
The post-processed output audio is bussed from a point at the end of
the amp's signal processing chain. This is effectively analogous to taking the
audio from the physical output of the amplifier, which feeds the loudspeaker, and
routing it on to the Dante network.
TIP:
After selecting audio sources from the dropdown menus (as shown in
), audio must also be routed using the
NOTE:
When connected to a Dante network operating at a 96kHz sample rate, the
DCi DA's Dante outputs will be disabled, and the amp will not be able to transmit
audio on to the Dante network. The amplifier will be able to receive a full compliment
of up to 8 Dante streams to send to the input router, but it will not be able to output any audio signals back on to the Dante network.
