INTRODUCTION MAGIC AE4 DAB/DAB+ Audio Encoder offers in the standard version one DAB/DAB+ hardware encoder and can be optionally upgraded to a dual, triple or quad DAB/DAB+ encoder. Each of the four channels are independent and can be configured independently as a DAB or DAB+ encoder. The audio programs can be supplied via the four digital AES/EBU stereo interfaces.
Safety The unit described has been designed to the latest technical parameters and complies with all current national and international safety requirements. It operates on a high level of reliability because of long-term experience in development and constant and strict quality control in our company. This manual contains basic safety instructions that must be observed during configuration and operation.
Construction MAGIC AE4 contains a mainboard with an additional connector, a display, a keypad and five LEDs as well as a headphone interface on the front side. The functions of the system are implemented in a 19” x 1U housing, the dimensions are 434mm x 44,5mm , 252mm.
Functionality MAGIC AE4 offers in the standard version one DAB/DAB+ hardware encoder and can be optionally upgraded with three further encoders. Each of the four channels are independent and can be configured independently as a DAB or DAB+ encoder. The audio programs can be supplied via the four digital AES/EBU stereo interfaces. An analogue stereo interface is also available.
PUTTING MAGIC AE4 INTO OPERATION Mounting With its dimensions (W × H × D) of 434 mm × 44,5 mm (1 U) × 252 mm the MAGIC AE4 system can either be used as desktop device or mounted into a 19-inch rack. 19“mounting brackets are included in delivery.
Connection to the mains voltage Attention! High touch current possible! Before connecting the power supply, MAGIC AE4 must be earthed. For this purpose, the earthing cable must have a conductor cross-section of at least 2.5mm² if it is mechanically protected, or otherwise 4.0mm². The following graphic symbols are located on the rear of the unit to indicate the correct and safe use.
Operational elements at the front side The system has an illuminated graphical display with a resolution of 160 x 32 pixels and 19 operating buttons. On the right side next to the display there are two softkeys whose current functions are indicated on the display.
Wiring The system offers four digital AES/EBU stereo Audio interfaces and one analogue stereo Audio interface. Eight TTL inputs/outputs and eight relays can be freely programmed, e. g. for alarming. Two network interfaces are available as standard. Analogue Analogue Module slot 1 Audio Inputs Audio Outputs (optional Dual LAN module)
INTERFACES On the front side of the unit 5 LEDs for status indication and a headphone interface for monitoring are available. The connectors for the interfaces are at the rear side.
