NBB-04R Networked Audio Receiver
NBB-04T Networked Audio Transmitter
Overview:
The NBB-04R receives 4 channels of analog audio and converts them into Dante networked audio
stream which in turn can be received by other Dante-enabled devices such as digital audio console
or DAW; While the NBB-04T, in contrast, transmits 4 channels of analog audio converted from
Dante networked audio stream which is distributed from other Dante-enabled devices.
Both NBB-04R and NBB-04T are equipped with two RJ-45 Ethernet ports so that several NBB-
04R/NBB-04T can be cascaded, i.e. in daisy-chaining, in the same network link. Also both NBB-
04R and NBB-04T can be powered by either PoE from Ethernet switch or 48V from external power
adapter.
Features:
Dante-enabled networked Audio Receiver (NBB-04T) and Transmitter (NBB-04T)
Streaming audio in robust standard Ethernet cable (a.k.a., Digital Snake)
Easily organize and expand network topology with Ethernet switches
Uncompressed 24-bit PCM coding with sample rate up to 96KHz
Two RJ-45 ports make Daisy-chain cascading feasible
Powered by either PoE or 48V adapter
Gain or Attenuate control for each channel
Phantom power engagement control per channel (NBB-04R)
A signal clip indicator for all inputs (NBB-04R)
XLR Combo sockets for both XLR and TRS phone plugging (NBB-04R)
Routing and other configuration are set with Dante Controller software

  • Page 1 Both NBB-04R and NBB-04T are equipped with two RJ-45 Ethernet ports so that several NBB- 04R/NBB-04T can be cascaded, i.e. in daisy-chaining, in the same network link. Also both NBB- 04R and NBB-04T can be powered by either PoE from Ethernet switch or 48V from external power adapter.
  • Page 2 24dBu. Besides the high-level of drive capability, the output of NBB-04T can also be attenuated to meet the narrower reception range of inputs of some semi-professional devices. All inputs of NBB-04R accept signal of level from mic to line with individual gain and phantom power control.
  • Page 3 48V power adapter which should be included in your device package. It is O.K. for you to power your NBB-04R/NBB-04T with both PoE and 48V adapter simultaneously. However, since the operating voltage of PoE is usually higher than 48V, very likely...
  • Page 4 Besides the routing assignment, mostly, you should set the operating sample rate of your NBB- 04R/NBB-04T to meet the sample rate of your whole Dante network. Basically, all the devices in the same Dante network should be synced to the same sample rate. You do not need to worry about the bit-depth of coding of your audio stream in network.

    Amber: PTP is syncing Red: PTP error Green & flashing: the device is elevated to PTP clock master. 6. The Att control knobs of NBB-04T can be used to attenuate output down to -20dB from nominal maximum. Side Panels The two Ethernet ports actually belongs to the two physical ports in the internal mini switch in NBB-04R/NBB-04T.

    A default button on one of the side panels is used to restore the settings of NBB-04R/NBB-04T to factory default. Press and hold the switch when you powering up the device will restore the device to default state. Once you see both SYS and SYNC LEDs red, you can then re-power the device for the default settings to take effect.

Since all UNiKA Dante-enabled devices actually have a mini switch built-in, you are also able to cascade several of your devices in the same link by taking advantage of the two RJ-45 ports...
  • Page 8 For a large-scale system, you may even have several Ethernet switches in your audio network. The switches, including the mini switch in UNiKA Dante-enabled devices, do cause propagation delay but fortunately every one of them only contribute delay in several tens of...
  • Page 9 Connecting via Switch with PoE PSE Capability Both NBB-04R and NBB-04T support to be powered by Ethernet PoE, so that you don't need a 48V wall adapter if your NBB-04R/NBB-04T direct connects to an Ethernet switch with PoE PSE capability.
