Input Signal Router

Each channel of the DriveCore Install DA signal processing has an
Input Signal Router that lets you choose the audio signal that will be
used by the channel.
• Analog Audio: This selection configures the input router for
analog sources. Each output channel will select its corresponding
analog input. Choices for the Analog Audio input are any
available analog input channels or one of the summed variants
(e.g. Analog Input 1+2, Analog Input 3+4, etc.). Selecting Analog
only will automatically change the MEDIUM input source to none.
• Network Only: This selects the audio input from the Dante port
on the back panel of the amp. Each amplifier has 8 Dante input
channels, as well as summed variants (e.g. Dante Inputs A+B,
Dante Inputs C+D, etc.).
• Network With Analog Backup: The input takes the network signal
as its source when the network signal or just the network clock
is present. If the network lock is lost, the input switches to the
selected Analog Source. Once that network lock is found again,
the input switches back to the selected network source. This
works even when the network signal has no audio but is sending
a clock signal.
• Analog Overrides Network: Dante input is used as the channel's
source. If the analog signal level is greater than an Analog Signal
Threshold, which is user-defined, the input switches to the analog
signal. As long as the analog signal level exceeds the threshold,
or as long as its level falls below threshold for a user-defined hold
time, the analog signal remains the channel's source.
The control operation will vary based on the mode that is selected.
