Audinate Dante AVIO – Manual d'usuari de l'adaptador de sortida analògica de 2 canals

1. Producte acabatview

The Dante AVIO Analog Output Adapter allows you to integrate existing analog line-level audio equipment into a Dante-connected audio network. This 2-channel adapter is designed to send audio from your Dante network to devices such as amplifiers, powered speakers, and other analog audio systems.

Les característiques clau inclouen:

• Two channels of balanced line level analog output
• Adjustable signal level: +18dBu / +4dBu / 0dBu/ 0dBV /-10dBV (configurable through Dante Controller)
• Resposta de freqüència: 20 Hz a 20 kHz (-/+0.5 dB)
• Impedance: 150 Ohm balanced, 75 Ohm unbalanced
• Powered through Class 1 802.3af PoE Switch or injector

2. Configuració i instal·lació

The Dante AVIO adapter requires Power over Ethernet (PoE) for operation. Ensure your network switch provides PoE or use an 802.3af compliant PoE injector.

1. Connect the Dante AVIO adapter to your PoE-enabled network switch using a standard Ethernet cable. The adapter will power on automatically.
2. Connect your analog audio equipment (e.g., powered speakers, amplifiers) to the two XLR male outputs of the Dante AVIO adapter.
3. Install the Dante Controller software on a computer connected to the same Dante network. This software is essential for configuring audio routing and device settings.

3. Instruccions de funcionament

3.1. Audio Routing with Dante Controller

Once connected to the network, your Dante AVIO adapter will appear in the Dante Controller software. You can then route audio streams from any Dante-enabled device on your network to the AVIO adapter's outputs.

• Obriu el controlador Dante.
• Navigate to the "Routing" tab.
• Locate your Dante AVIO adapter under "Receivers".
• Select the desired audio channels from your Dante transmitters (e.g., a Dante-enabled mixer, computer with Dante Virtual Soundcard) and route them to the corresponding inputs of the Dante AVIO adapter.
• Adjust the signal level of the analog output as needed via Dante Controller (options: +18dBu / +4dBu / 0dBu/ 0dBV /-10dBV).

3.2. Consideracions importants

• The Dante AVIO Analog Output Adapter is designed for line-level inputs. Ensure any connected wireless gear or microphones are set to line-level output or routed through a standalone mic preamplifier or mixer before connecting to the AVIO adapter.
• This adapter is not passive; it contains circuitry, including the Dante Ultimo chipset, which handles Dante audio processing and licensing.

4. Manteniment

The Dante AVIO adapter is designed for robust performance and requires minimal maintenance. Keep the device clean and free from dust. Ensure proper ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating. Avoid exposing the adapter to extreme temperatures or moisture.

Regularly check all cable connections to ensure they are secure. Periodically update your Dante Controller software to the latest version to ensure compatibility and access to new features or bug fixes.

5. Solució De Problemes

5.1. No Power/No Link Light

• Verify that your Ethernet switch is PoE-enabled (802.3af compliant) or that your PoE injector is properly connected and functioning.
• Check the Ethernet cable for damage and ensure it is securely plugged into both the adapter and the switch.

5.2. Sense sortida d'àudio

• Open Dante Controller and confirm that the Dante AVIO adapter is visible and online.
• Check audio routing in Dante Controller to ensure that audio streams are correctly subscribed to the AVIO adapter's outputs.
• Verify that the connected analog audio equipment (amplifiers, speakers) is powered on and configured correctly.
• Ensure the input signal to the AVIO adapter is line-level. Microphone-level signals may be too low and require a preampmés viu.
• Check the signal level setting for the AVIO adapter in Dante Controller.

5.3. Audio Dropouts or Distortion

• Check network latency settings in Dante Controller. Adjust if necessary, ensuring it is appropriate for your network configuration.
• Ensure your network switch is suitable for Dante audio (managed switch recommended). Avoid consumer-grade switches.
• Verify that there are no network conflicts or excessive traffic on your network.
• Comproveu el sample rate settings in Dante Controller to ensure consistency across all devices.
