Page 9: Overview
Audio limiter/ compressor circuits are also provided for each output. The fixed ratio mixes in the Beatrice MIX32 were originally designed to allow network audio intercom systems to generate multiple listening circuits, however the high- quality low noise, digital mixers can be also be used for many other applications. -

Page 11: Connecting The Beatrice Mix32 To A Dante Network
® CONNECTING THE BEATRICE MIX32 TO A DANTE NETWORK The Beatrice Mix32 is a network audio device utilising the reliable and versatile ® ® Dante audio over IP protocol. Dante is a proprietary system (although very widely used) the originators of which are Audinate. -
Page 12: Running Dante Controller
At the time of writing this manual the Dante Controller looks as per the screenshot below: The Beatrice Mix32 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: ‘Mix32-10aa16-serial-102’... -
Page 13: Mixer Modes
IMPORTANT: The position of the rotary switch is only read by the microprocessor while the Beatrice Mix32 is turning on. So, moving the switch to a different position while the unit is on will make no difference until the unit is powered down and turned back on. -
Page 14: Fixed Mixer Mode
FIXED MIXER MODE ® Each mixer has 32 audio inputs and 32 audio outputs to/ from the Dante / AES67 network. The table below describes what input channels are mixed together to create each output. Output Mix of inputs 1-32 1-24 1-16 17-32... -
Page 15: Clean Feed (Mix-Minus) Mode
CLEAN FEED (Mix-Minus) MODE General In the clean feed configurations, several pre-set configurations are available. Each mix has multiple outputs, with each output configured so that it does not include its own mix input. For example, switch position 2 provides a 32-channel mix. Output channel 5 is a mix of channels 1-4, and 6-32, so audio from input channel 5 is not present on the output. - Page 16 Switch position → Mix_minus_32 Mix_minus_24_8 Mix_minus_16_16 Mix_minus_16_8_8 Mix_minus_16_8_4_4 Mix_minus_8_8_8_8 Mix_minus_8_8_8_4_4 Mix_minus_8_8_4 4_4_4 Output Mix of inputs Mix of inputs Mix of inputs Mix of inputs Mix of inputs Mix of inputs Mix of inputs Mix of inputs 1-32 excluding 1 1-24 excluding 1 1-16 excluding 1 1-16 excluding 1...

Page 17: Compressor/ Limiters
COMPRESSOR/ LIMITERS Each mixer card has output compressor / limiter circuits built in. We call the circuits compressor/ limiters because the design of the circuit means that they are neither a traditional hard limiter or soft compressor. Initially gentle compression is introduced and as the input signal increases so does the compression ratio, until eventually it becomes a limiter. -

Page 24: Aes67 Mode
AES67 and therefore the Mix32 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 25 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’...
