System With Vu-Net Control - Martin Audio CDD-LIVE! Series User Manual

CDD‐LIVE
2. System with Vu‐Net Control
With this system the audio feed remains exactly as with the basic system sending a stereo analogue audio feed to the cabinets.
Control over the system has been enhanced by adding a network.
An Ethernet feed from a PC running Martin Audio's Vu‐Net connects to an Ethernet router (Note that the router must support
DCHP) with a feed from a second port on the router to the first of the CDD‐Live cabinets and the on‐board 2‐port Ethernet switch
is used to daisy‐chain between all cabinets to extend the network (maximum 8 speakers). Note that if the router and your PC
are wi‐fi equipped you can connect to the system over wi‐fi making the Cat 5 cable from the PC to the router unnecessary.
With Vu‐Net you now have a high level of control over the system, you can mute, adjust gain, delay and equalisation and also
have the option of storing the settings to the user memory location which can be recalled in future using the rear panel switch.
If for example you are using the system in a venue that you visit regularly, you can store the settings making it unnecessary to
connect the network and PC at subsequent visits.
Be aware that the preset LEDs on the back of each CDD‐Live cabinet will be off due to the Vu‐Net connection, you should however
see the Ethernet LEDs illuminated, the green will show a good network connection and the yellow LED will flash to show
communication speed.
