3. Channel Output Routing The output routing control is a 3 position toggle switch. It will route the selected input(s) to the left/ right or both (left & right) mixes. The selected input (left/ right channel) has a bearing on what is actually routed to the mix circuits.

6. Cut LS Switch When used this illuminated switch will cut both the front panel loudspeakers and the analogue and AES3 outputs. It will also cut any of the network output circuits that are after the cut control. A rear panel GPI circuit also affects the state of this switch. If the rear GPI circuit is made (i.e.

10. Master Output Level Control This volume control adjusts the overall output level of the unit. It adjusts the level to the internal loudspeakers, headphones, analogue outputs, AES3 output and the network audio outputs that are affected by it. In its 12 O’clock position it is at unity gain. Fully clockwise 10.6dB of gain will be applied to the output.

19. Update Socket The update socket is used by a Glensound authorised engineer in the unlikely event that new internal microprocessor code is required to be installed in the Bella 22. The internal microprocessor is a PIC.
AUDIO BLOCK DIAGRAM Analogue Representation The above diagram is drawn as an analogue audio workflow, however the Bella 22 is a digital device and most functions are actually performed in the digital domain. Page 15 of 25...
Mix Busses There are two main stereo mix busses within the Bella 22. These are referred to as ‘MIX/ SOLO’ or just ‘MIX’. In simple terms the ‘MIX/ SOLO’ outputs are derived after the front panel Channel On/ Solo buttons. If a channels on switch is off its output will not be sent to the MIX/ SOLO buss.
Getting Dante Controller If you are connecting the Bella 22 to a new Dante network the first thing you will need to do is to get the free Dante controller software from Audinate. This can be downloaded by visiting Audinate’s web site at www.audinate.com...
At the time of writing this manual the Dante Controller looks as per the screenshot below: The Bella 22 will have been named at the factory during test to allow them to be identified by the Dante controller. The format used for the factory name is: ‘BELLA-22-sn-XXX’...
Dante Controller TIP If you have never run Dante controller before then make sure that on the bottom left of the Dante controllers’ screen ‘P’ or ‘S’ is next to a green square as this indicates that it is connected to a network. By clicking ‘P’ or ‘S’ a pop up box opens to allow you to set what network interface the controller is using.
1. Turning On AES67 Mode If you want to use your Bella 22 on an AES67 network and it has not been set to AES67 mode then this can be set in Dante controller by double clicking the Bella 22 to open the Device View window where you will find an AES67 tab to enable AES67 support.

2. Sending AES67 Audio To transmit AES67 audio to the network a multicast flow must first be setup. This is done by selecting the ‘Create New Multicast Flow’ Icon in the Device View. Tick the AES67 Flow check box, then select up to 4 channels to be included in the flow then click ‘Create’...
Dante/ AES67 network audio streams. There is one Brooklyn module in each Bella 22. We supply special code (a .dnt file) that sets up/ initiates the Brooklyn module and makes it work in particular way that is compatible to the Bella 22.
