D: Assemble the connector
Slide the chuck onto insert and then both
into the housing.
Note: Align the chuck by positioning the
nose into the keyway.
E: Tighten the cable clamp
Slide the cable clamp up the cable and
tighten. To wire the connector to IP65,
the cable clamp needs to be tightened to
a torque value of 2.0Nm using the Neutrik
tool no. HTAC with a 13mm spanner.
Disassembly
Press a small flat-blade screwdriver into
the cable clamp bush by the
▲
symbol,
continue to push the screwdriver in whilst
unscrewing the clamp.
Analogue Audio
Analogue audio is available on a 3-pin XLR socket with a parallel male XLR socket to enable easy “daisy-chain” wiring looping from one
speaker to the next. Analogue inputs should be connected with a good quality 3-pin male XLR wired to good quality twin screened cable.
This is particularly important if the input cable run is long (e.g., from the FOH position to stage). Good quality cable will minimise losses.
The link outputs should use a similarly high quality female XLR. The line driver at the signal source must be able to drive the combined
load of all SXP subwoofers or CDD-LIVE being linked. Wiring is the industry standard for balanced connections:
PIN
CONNECTION
1
Ground or shield
2
Signal ‘hot’ (‘+’)
3
Signal ‘cold’ (‘-’)
Network
Two network ports are available to control the subwoofer via Martin Audio’s VU-NET software and to route Dante audio to each sub. The two
Ethernet ports are available on Neutrik Ethercon connectors which can be used either with a compatible mating connector or directly with a
CAT5 cable with RJ45 connectors. The connections are routed to a two-port switch which enables daisy-chain Ethernet/Dante connections
of up to 8 cabinets. Alternatively, a star network configuration can be adopted using any Gigabit enabled Ethernet router connecting
individual Ethernet cables to each cabinet. Note that the ports can carry both Dante and TCP/IP data simultaneously so a Dante network
can be set up with control over all CDD-LIVE cabinets via VU-NET.
Note that you must use a network system that supports DHCP to connect multiple CDD-LIVE products, a simple Ethernet switch will NOT
work unless the entire system is configured for static IP, you will need an Ethernet router or a device connected to an Ethernet switch which
will support DHCP to assign IP addresses to all devices on the network. You can connect directly from a PC Ethernet port to ONE CDD-LIVE
cabinet which will self-assign an IP address in the same range as the PC. This takes around one minute and after that it will be possible
to connect to the cabinet via VU-NET. You CANNOT daisy-chain more CDD-LIVE cabinets in this configuration. It can only be used with a
single cabinet so its use is limited to simple checks or firmware updates.
Dante is realised using the Ultimo board, this does not support primary and secondary connections but redundancy is possible using an
analogue audio feed simultaneously with a Dante network. The input will automatically select Dante is a signal is present however it will
automatically switch to the analogue feed if the Dante signal is lost. The Ethernet ports have standard LED indicators to show operation.
The green LEDs show that the port is operational and should illuminate as soon as a connection is made to or from an Ethernet port from
any other port. The yellow LEDs flash to show data speed. The Dante LED will illuminate when a Dante feed is present.
