User Guide Overview The NBB-04R receives 4 channels of analog audio and converts them into Dante networked audio stream which in turn can be received by other Dante-enabled devices such as digital audio console or DAW; While the NBB-04T, in contrast, transmits 4 channels of analog audio converted from Dante networked audio stream which is distributed from other Dante-enabled devices.
Gain or Attenuate control for each channel • Phantom power engagement control per channel (NBB-04R) • A signal clip indicator for all inputs (NBB-04R) • XLR Combo sockets for both XLR and phone plugging (NBB-04R) • Routing and other configuration are set with Dante Controller software...
NBB-04T can also be attenuated to meet the narrower reception range of inputs of some semi-professional devices. All inputs of NBB-04R accept signal of level from mic to line with individual gain and phantom power control. The NBB-04T is also equipped with a clip indicator for all the inputs to warn audio technician a signal overload on inputs.
• PoE from Ethernet switch with PoE PSE capability, or • 48V power adapter which should be included in your device package. It is O.K. for you to power your NBB-04R/NBB-04T with both PoE and 48V adapter simultaneously. However, since the operating voltage of PoE is usually higher than 48V, very likely your NBB-04R/NBB-04T will sink power only from PoE if you do so.

Once your NBB-04R/NBB-04T is powered, you can configure your NBB-04R/NBB- 04T by direct connecting it to your computer or via the Ethernet switch. That is to say that the NBB-04R/NBB-04T can talk to your computer directly or via switch. See picture below for an illustration.

User Guide Top Panel The NBB-04R can recept input level up to 24dBu from the balanced XLR or TRS phone plug; while the NBB-04T can drive the output up to 24dBu via the balanced XLR. To get flat frequency response, please be informed that the balanced XLR outputs are all direct and transformerless coupling.
NBB-04T can be powered by either of these two ports, provided the the Ethernet cable on it is from a Ethernet switch with PoE PSE capability. Please be informed that NBB-04R/NBB-04T does not have the PoE PSE capability to power the next cascaded PoE PD device, although itself can be powered by PoE.
You can even connect your UNiKA Dante-enabled devices to your computer or digital console without an Ethernet switch in between. Since all UNiKA Dante-enabled devices actually have a mini switch built-in, you are also able to cascade several of your devices in the same link by taking advantage of the two RJ-45 ports on your UNiKA Dante-enabled devices.

Dante-enabled devices. For a large-scale system, you may even have several Ethernet switches in your audio network. The switches, including the mini switch in UNiKA Dante-enabled devices, do cause propagation delay but fortunately every one of them only contribute delay in several tens of microseconds.

Applications Connecting via Switch with PoE PSE Capability Both NBB-04R and NBB-04T support to be powered by Ethernet PoE, so that you don't need a 48V wall adapter if your NBB-04R/NBB-04T direct connects to an Ethernet switch with PoE PSE capability.
