Important Safety Information - Read First Safety Statements Before installing, configuring, or operating any equipment, Savant recommends All safety instructions below should be read, understood, and applied under all that each dealer, integrator, installer, etc. access and read all relevant technical relevant circumstances when working with this equipment.
Read this document in its entirety before starting deployment of the product, and ensure that the following required items are available: Savant IP Audio device(s) ..........................................Unique ID (UID) of the Savant IP Audio device(s).................................. Located on the back of the device.
3. Wiring and Connections The Savant IP Audio control connections send data to control a device and receive data to display current status on the user interfaces or trigger a system action. Each port type may support multiple protocols that are determined by the logical connection within Blueprint.
(RS-232) RJ-45 to DB9 Serial Control Adapters Refer to the RS-232 Conversion to DB9 and RS-422/485 Pinout Application Note located on the Savant Customer Community for more information on RJ-45 to DB9 adapters. IMPORTANT! If using RJ-45 to DB9 adapters not supplied by Savant: –...
The PAV-SIPA125SM, PAV-AOM8C, and PAV-AOMBAL8C have GPIO ports which share the same wiring. General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) ports are binary I/O ports used by Savant controllers to trigger actions within the system. GPIO actions may be configured to control a device, such as turning on an amplifier (output), or detecting a device state change (input) to perform a triggered workflow.
Enclosure Installation The PAV-SIPA50SM device can be mounted in a structured media panel. The enclosure brackets need to be attached prior to mounting. Savant recommends using vented (louvered) enclosure doors.
This example shows adding a PAV-SIPA125SM. The same Stereo Out 1 (Stereo Speakers) Assigned Inputs Audio Output 2 SpeakerInput process applies for all Savant IP Audio devices being added to a Stereo Out 2 (Stereo Speakers) 2.1 StandardWire (Stereo Spea... Audio Output 3 configuration.

– The number of IP Audio devices which can be supported in any given system is defined by the Savant Host type and da Vinci runtime version being used on site. For Host feature support limits, refer to the Release ReadMe or Host Licensing and Feature Support Matrix for the relevant da Vinci runtime version, available via the Savant Customer Community.
The Savant Music 2.0 service is generated in Blueprint, and all streaming services are managed via the Savant Pro App. Each stream of Savant Music 2.0 is distributable to any other IP Audio device connected to the AVB network. The system scales sources as endpoints are added naturally.
9.4. Savant Music Trim Input trim of the Savant Music 2.0 service can be adjusted from within System Monitor. The trim adjustment is from 0 dB to -12 dB. Below is an image of the Music Service System Monitor screen.
Managing IP Addresses To ensure that the IP Address will not change due to a power outage, a static IP Address or DHCP reservation should be configured. Savant recommends using DHCP reservation within the router. By using this method, IP Addresses for all devices can be managed from a single UI avoiding the need to access devices individually.
DNS (Add, Remove, Query) Setting DNS is only relevant for devices with a built in Savant Music stream. Follow the instructions below to add, remove, or query the DNS servers configured for IP Audio devices. Open a terminal window on a MacBook/SDE.
Appendix B: UPS Recommendations Savant does not recommend any brand or model UPS, however there are a couple of factors that should be considered. It is important that the UPS does not only work during complete power loss but protects devices and their functionality during events like surges and brownouts. It is not uncommon for a residence or small business to see variations in power service that do not result in a complete black-out.
