WheatNet-IP BLADE 3 / Jan 2016 WheatNet-IP BLADE 3 / Mar 2019
The unit has a standard IEC power connector. The BLADE 3s have an internal power
supply that will accept 100‑240 volts 50/60 hertz AC power.
As for the control surfaces, there are a variety of sizes to choose from. These look like
traditional audio consoles and perform similar kinds of functions and more. Consult the
LXE control surface manual for detailed information.
The WheatNet‑IP Aura8ip Audio Processing BLADE 3 brings two of Wheatstone’s core
technologies together (Vorsis Audio Processing and the WheatNet‑IP Intelligent Network)
to provide a convenient and cost effective way to bring access to audio processing wherever
you need it on your WheatNet‑IP network.
The Aura8ip BLADE 3 occupies a single rack space, but packs an impressive comple‑
ment of eight fully independent Vorsis Embedded multi‑band stereo audio processors.
Refer to the Aura8ip Vorsis Embedded Processing BLADE 3 Technical Manual for audio
processor description and configuration.
This BLADE 3 has two DB‑25 and eight RJ‑45 connectors (the DB and RJ connections
are in parallel so you can choose your preferred connector type) for audio inputs. The first
DB-25 and the first four RJ-45 jacks are set up as analog inputs. The second DB-25 and
the last four RJ‑45 jacks are set up as AES digital inputs.
The BLADE 3 also has two DB‑25 and eight RJ‑45 connectors (again, use your preferred
connector) for audio outputs. The first DB-25 and first four RJ-45 jacks are set up as analog
outputs. The second DB‑25 and the last four RJ‑45 jacks are set up as AES digital outputs.
The BLADE 3 has two more RJ‑45 connectors to provide 12 logic ports, which can be
individually designated during set up as inputs or outputs. These ports are where you wire
the various external switches, indicators, and control functions you need in your facility.
There are two RJ‑45 jacks for Ethernet. One is for 1 Gigabit Ethernet – connect this
one to your network. The 100 Megabit Ethernet port is not used – do not connect anything
to this port.
Consult the wiring diagram on page 1‑52 for detailed information.
The unit has a standard IEC power connector. The BLADE 3s have an internal power
supply that will accept 100‑240 volts 50/60 hertz AC power.
Signal Configuration
The Aura8ip BLADE 3 can be operated as a stand alone unit, or can be operated as part
of a larger WheatNet‑IP network.
If the Stand alone option is selected when the BLADE 3 is configured, the rear panel
inputs and outputs are automatically configured to provide the required connections to the
eight channels of audio processing. Line 1 Input feeds signal to the first channel of audio
processing, Line 2 Input feeds signal to the second channel, and so on. Likewise, Line 1
Output provides the output connection for the first channel of processing, Line 2 Output
