    (7) 'hops' (one-way transmissions) within a network. In order to integrate AudiaEXPI-D into a AUDIA system, an EXPI-D (or CobraNet) input block must first be placed into the design layout. AUDIA units intended to receive digital audio from the AudiaEXPI-D must have their CobraNet jacks connected to the same network. Both the AudiaEXPI-D unit (hardware) and the EXPI-D input block (software) must be assigned matching bundle numbers, before digital audio can be successfully exchanged.

    Also, unicast and multicast bundle numbers can be used to access digital audio from individual or multiple EXPO-D output blocks. Similar considerations may apply when using AudiaEXPO-D with other CobraNet compliant systems or devices. AudiaEXPI-D and AudiaEXPO-D can exchange digital audio directly (outside of a system network) using either a simple 'cross-over' CAT5 cable or an...

    Speakers (HF & LF), Balcony Speakers, Under-Balcony Speakers, Stage Monitors (1 & 2), Recording, and Hearing Assistance. Eight digital audio feeds, from mixing console outputs and other 'playback' devices, are connected to inputs of the AudiaEXPI-D unit, which is located near the mixing console. These signals are then sent via CobraNet to the AudiaFLEX unit, which is located backstage. The AudiaFLEX unit provides all necessary signal processing for each of the system outputs, before feeding an MCA8150 power amplifier located in the same equipment rack.
