Introduction
Thank you for purchasing your new Nixer PD Dante audio network confidence monitor,
diagnostic and testing tool. This unit has been designed to make it convenient and easy to
test, setup and monitor audio signals within Dante networks. Operation is via it’s clear and
simple to use touchscreen interface and it is housed in a compact and robust case.
It’s a small portable Dante unit, which allows the monitoring of up to 64 Dante (or AES67)
channels at 48kHz (32 channels at 96kHz). The signals are presented to the user via the
inbuilt speakers or the headphone jack. The speakers are automatically muted when a
headphone jack is inserted. Simultaneous outputs are also available in the form of the stereo
balanced line outputs and AES output accessed via the 15way D-type.
The speakers and headphones have independent settings for volume, the unit recalling the last
used setting for each when changing between speakers and headphones.
The balanced line outputs and AES output can be configured to follow the volume settings of
the speakers or headphones. Alternatively, they can be set to independent levels with
individual trim controls for each.
Additional inputs are available as an unbalanced stereo line input on a 3.5mm jack, AES
input via the 15way D-type connector and a mic input on the headphone connector
(accommodating standard mobile phone headsets)
All of these inputs can be routed to any of the Dante output channels.
An internal oscillator with user adjustable frequency and level settings is available to send to
any of the 64 Dante outputs with options for Sine Wave, Square Wave or PNG.
The device is operated and controlled via the large 5.0” diagonal (127mm) 24bit colour LCD
and capacitive touch panel.
A simple and elegant menu system has been designed to be intuitive to navigate allowing the
user to access all the features of the PD Dante very quickly.
The high-resolution screen is easy to read presenting comprehensive metering, routing and
status information to the user.
