Page 21: Fixed Mixer
FIXED MIXER The Beatrice R16 includes multiple fixed ratio mixers with inputs & outputs directly on/ off the Dante/ AES67 network. In a small simple intercom system there may be requirements for one user to listen to multiple sources on one single talkback channel. The internal fixed mixer within the Beatrice R16 is suitable for setting this up. -
Page 22: Connecting To 4-Wire Equipment
CONNECTING TO 4-WIRE EQUIPMENT The Beatrice R16 can be interfaced to a maximum of two traditional 4-wire systems. To do this it is necessary to utilise the local audio inputs & local audio output circuits on the R16 and route these to/ from one of the talkback channels via the audio over IP network. -
Page 23: Ifb/ Aux Inputs
IFB/ AUX INPUTS There are four IFB (Interruptible Feed Back)/ AUX circuits within the Beatrice R16. These are incoming audio circuits from the Dante / AES67 network that are mixed in ® with the outgoing talkback circuits. The IFB/AUX circuit is always routed/ mixed with the outgoing talkback, if the associated talkback key is on, then the IFB/ AUX audio level is ducked, to allow the talkback to be clearly heard over it. -
Page 24: Connecting The Beatrice Units To A Dante Network
CONNECTING THE BEATRICE UNITS TO A DANTE NETWORK The Beatrices are network audio devices utilizing the reliable and versatile Dante audio over IP protocol. Dante is a proprietary system (although very widely used) the originators of which are Audinate. The information below is only meant as a very basic guide. Full details of the power of Dante network audio and instructions for using it can be found at www.audinate.com Getting Dante Controller... -

Page 26: Device Not Showing Up In Dante Controller
Device Not Showing Up In Dante Controller If your Dante® device does not show up in Dante® Controller then the most likely issue is that the device’s IP Address is not appropriate for your network. A) It maybe that the device is set to obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP (this is the default configuration) and your network is setup for fixed IP addresses only and does not have a DHCP server. -
Page 27: Aes67 Mode
AES67 and therefore the Beatrice can be set to AES67 mode for interaction with other AES67 devices. Please note however that Glensound are relying on Audinate’s AES67 interface and are unfortunately not able to provide full AES67 support for the unit. AES67 support should be sought directly from Audinate. - Page 28 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 8 channels to be included in the flow then click ‘Create’...
