  • Page 4: Installation

    Choosing a Location The VOCO 8 uses 2 RU of rack space and is approximately 14 ¾” deep. It should mount just fine in most standard 19” equipment racks but you will want to choose a location where you can access the front panel controls and ensure that you leave enough space behind the unit to accommodate the I/O connectors.
  • Page 5 | OMNIA VOCO® 8 - QUICK START SETUP GUIDE Mic/Line Inputs and Outputs Each of the 8 analog inputs can accept either a microphone level signal (with selectable Phantom power and pad) or a line level signal. Input connections are provided through a set of Neutrik “combo”...
  • Page 6 OMNIA VOCO® 8 - QUICK START SETUP GUIDE | AES/EBU I/O The VOCO 8 provides 4 AES/EBU inputs and outputs on a female DB25 connector conforming to the Tascam AES/EBU pinout. Each AES/EBU interface carries 2 channels of audio—Microphones 1 and 2 will feed the left and right channels of AES/EBU output 1, and so on.
  • Page 7: Ethernet Connections

    Livewire+/AES67 AoIP. Connect these ports to your network switches as appropriate. If you do not connect the VOCO 8 to an existing network, you will need a cable connected from the control port directly to a Windows PC for initial configuration of the unit (see the “Remote Gateway Software”...
  • Page 8: Navigation Control

    What piece of broadcast equipment would be complete without a shiny front panel display? The VOCO 8 is no exception. A 4.3” LCD (in combination with the navigation control) provides access to preset selection, unit status, and basic configuration parameters (not to mention a very cool VOCO 8 screen saver).

    1.15. Once downloaded, place the update file in the root directory of a FAT16, FAT32, or NTFS formatted USB drive. When the USB drive is connected to the VOCO 8, it should detect the update file and prompt you to select it for installation. If there are multiple update files on the USB drive, they will all appear in the list.

    IP address. If you are using an Ethernet cable direct to a PC to configure the VOCO 8, manually set both the PC and the VOCO 8 to different addresses in the same subnet using the same subnet mask (gateway and DNS are not necessary). Continue...
  • Page 11 Configuring the “AES67” IP address If you plan to use the AoIP features of the VOCO 8, you will need to configure the “AES67” IP address—or at the very least disable DHCP to eliminate the error message if you don’t plan to use AoIP.
  • Page 12 Remote Gateway. Scan for units on the network by clicking “Scan” . Select the interface attached to the same network as the VOCO 8 and click “Run Scan” . You can also add an IP address block not listed by clicking “Add Custom” . The default port for Remote Gateway communications with the VOCO 8 is 3001 and should only be changed if necessary.
  • Page 13 | OMNIA VOCO® 8 - QUICK START SETUP GUIDE If for some reason the VOCO 8 does not appear after scanning the network (due to firewall configuration, or for some other reason) you may need to add it manually. Click on “New” in the main Remote Gateway window.
  • Page 14 OMNIA VOCO® 8 - QUICK START SETUP GUIDE | Studio This account is where the vast majority of configuration will take place—including all I/O configuration, processing settings, and preset management. There is no default password set. Live The “Live” account essentially gives a Remote Gateway user access to the same functionality as the front panel (minus the IP configuration options).
  • Page 15: Frequently Asked Questions

    Most of the configuration is done through the Remote Gateway software and not from the front panel. You’ll need to configure the “Control IP” interface on the VOCO 8 and install the Remote Gateway software on a PC. If you want to disconnect the unit from the network after initial configuration, that’s fine too—but it makes life a lot easier if you leave it on the network where a PC...
  • Page 16 AES/EBU pairs, or you want to use one microphone per AES/EBU output, you will need to use only the even or odd inputs. Can I mount the VOCO 8 in a studio? In most cases with a properly cooled facility, yes. There is a fan in the unit. If the unit’s internal temperature begins to rise, the fan will increase in speed and may create enough noise to be audible.
