Model Aura8ip - Vorsis Embedded BLADE
The WheatNet-IP Aura8ip Audio Processing BLADE 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 pro-
cessing wherever you need it on your WheatNet-IP network.
The Aura8ip BLADE 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 technical manual for audio
processor description and configuration.
This BLADE has two DB-25 and eight RJ-45 connectors (the DB and RJ connec-
tions 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 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 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 1-41 for detailed information.
The unit has a standard IEC power connector. The BLADEs have an internal power
supply that will accept 100-240 volts 50/60 hertz AC power.
Signal Configuration
The Aura8ip BLADE 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 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 for the second channel, and so on. In this mode, all inputs and outputs are con-
figured as stereo signals. Thus, in Stand alone mode, the Aura8ip BLADE functions
as eight independent channels of stereo audio processing, four with analog inputs and
outputs, and the other four with digital inputs and outputs.
