System With Audio Via Dante - Martin Audio CDD-LIVE! Series User Manual

CDD‐LIVE
3. System with Audio via Dante
This system demonstrates the simplest implementation of Dante. The analogue audio connections to each cabinet are no longer
required, a Dante feed is derived from your audio source using one of the hundreds of Dante enabled devices. The diagram
shows an analogue mixing console routed to a Dante interface such as the Focusrite RedNet range however this could be a digital
mixing console, a great many of which have Dante outputs either as standard or as an option.
The Dante feed is routed to an Ethernet router (Note that the router must support DCHP) along with an Ethernet feed from the
PC and an Ethernet cable out to the first CDD‐Live speaker. As before the Ethernet connections are daisy‐chained between all
speakers using the 2‐port interface in each CDD‐Live speaker to a maximum of 8 speakers.
The PC can run Dante Controller and Vu‐Net simultaneously to control both the Dante routing and all DSP parameters. Once the
Dante routing is taken care of and any adjustment of the CDD‐Live speakers is completed in Vu‐Net the PC can be disconnected
and all routing and speaker parameters will be stored, even after disconnecting and reconnecting power.
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.
