Overview The Glensound AOIP2M is an analogue to digital converter with high quality Microphone Preamplifiers designed to connect microphones to a Dante® audio network. Dante® network audio is a common protocol for distributing high quality linear audio over standard IP networks and it is widely used by many audio equipment manufacturers.
AOIP2M Front Panel Layout Input Gain control Mic activity Power LED Phantom power indicator Phantom power switch Power LED Power LED for power indication. Input Gain control Potentiometer for controlling microphone input gain. Mic activity Post-pot mic activity LEDs for monitoring Microphone level. Phantom power switch Press and hold for a few seconds to toggle +48V phantom power on for the selected Mic channel.
AOIP2M Rear Panel Layout Network RJ45 etherCON Network link LED Microphone USB connector DC Power inputs Input jack Microphone inputs Two high quality microphone preamplifiers. See the end of the manual for wiring information. DC Power Input jack A standard DC IN barrel jack connector for 12V 1A DC input. The center pin is 2.5mm. It is wired center pin + Volts.
Connecting The AOIP2M To A Dante Network The AOIP2M is a network audio device 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...
The format used for the factory name is: ‘AOIP2M-SN-XXXX’ Where ‘AOIP2M’ refers to the Glensound product i.e. AOIP2M The ‘SN-XXXX’ refers to the serial number of the AOIP2M which can be found printed on the rear or side of the unit.
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.
AES67 and therefore the AOIP2M 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.
Tick the AES67 Flow check box, then select channels to be included in the flow then click ‘Create’ Once set the flows can be seen in the transmit tab of the device view. Receiving AES67 Audio Once a compatible AES67 stream is detected on the network by Dante Controller the AES67 flows will appear in the Dante Transmitters section in the Routing tab.
AES67 Restrictions AES67 flows can only be generated with the following constraints: • Multicast Only • Non-redundant • Destination address in range 239.nnn.0.0 to 239.nnn.255.255 (239.nnn/16), port 5004 • 48kHz sampling rate • 24 bit linear (L24) encoding • 1 msec packet time •...
Updating The Dante firmware The AOIP2M has Dante specific firmware that runs inside the Dante chipset, known as Ultimo. The Ultimo Chipset is a device supplied by Audinate that does most of the processing for the actual Dante/ AES67 network audio streams. There is one Ultimo Chipset in each AOIP2M.
