4. Connecting equipment
4-1. Power connections
Connect all equipment mentioned in the previous sections to power. Because there are so many
pieces of equipment that need to be connected to power—the controller, computer monitors, I/O,
computers, network switches, KVM switches, video-related equipment, powered speakers, mic
preamps, outboard gear, etc—make sure in advance that you have enough power outlets and that the
circuit they are on can supply enough power. Do not use low-price mass-market outlet
strips—always use power conditioners or power distributors with noise filtering that are intended
specifically for use in audio applications.
4-2. Ethernet connections
Apart from the connection between the Dante Accelerator and network switch, use Cat 5e or Cat 6
cable for all Ethernet connections. Use Cat 7, which has superior shielding against electromagnetic
interference, for the connection between the Dante Accelerator and network switch.
