AUDIO
Analogue audio is available on a 3‐pin XLR socket with a parallel male XLR socket to enable easy "daisy‐chain" wiring looping
from one speaker to the next. Analogue inputs should be connected with a good quality 3‐pin male XLR wired to good quality
twin screened cable. This is particularly important if the input cable run is long (e.g., from the FOH position to stage). Good quality
cable will minimise losses. The Link outputs should use a similarly high quality female XLR. The line driver at the signal source
must be able to drive the combined load of all DD12s being linked (See section 11). Wiring is the industry standard for balanced
connections:
ETHERNET
The two Ethernet ports are available on Neutrik Ethercon connectors which can be used either with a compatible mating
connector (see list) or directly with a CAT5 cable with RJ45 connectors. The connections are routed to a two‐port switch which
enables daisy‐chain Ethernet/Dante connections of up to 8 cabinets. Alternatively a star network configuration can be adopted
using any Gigabit enabled Ethernet router connecting individual Ethernet Cables to each cabinet. Note that the ports can carry
both Dante and TCP/IP data simultaneously so a Dante network can be set up with control over all CDD‐Live cabinets via Vu‐Net.
Note that you must use a network system that supports DHCP to connect multiple CDD‐Live products, a simple Ethernet switch
will NOT work, you will need an Ethernet router or a device connected to an Ethernet switch which will support DHCP to assign
IP addresses to all devices on the network. You can connect directly from a PC Ethernet port to ONE CDD‐Live cabinet which
