  • Page 5: Operation Modes

    Operation Modes NTX Series loudspeakers offer many advanced features that are designed to make it as simple as possible to deliver excellent audio performance. Dante compatibility, wireless network control, and redundant analog backups are just a few of the features that work towards that goal. While we encourage users to take advantage of these, it isn’t required.

  • Page 6: Section 3 - Setting Up Your Ntx Series Network

    Section 3 – Setting up your NTX Series network While a network is not required to operate a NTX Series system, it is required for network control and/or Dante audio. Some general network suggestions are outlined below, as well as diagrams of sample networks for Dante and control, and control only.
  • Page 7 Figure 4 illustrates a sample network for control only, without Dante audio. Like the example of the Dante network above, individual NTX Series modules, or groups of modules daisy-chained together, have ‘home runs’ to a network switch. Care must be taken to not form a network loop, where any loudspeaker, or group of daisy chained loudspeakers, is connected twice to a switch or router.

    The Dante ports on NTX Series loudspeakers are bidirectional, either can be used to connect with other • devices. Port C on the rear of NTX Series loudspeakers is identical to the Dante ports, but multicast Dante traffic is • filtered out. The computer running Resolution 2 can be directly connected to this port.

    Columns and the meters. A physical NTX Series Array in the Online Devices list can be assigned or associated with a modeled Array in the model by simply clicking on the Array in the list and dragging it on to the appropriate modeled Array.
  • Page 13 Double clicking the name of an Array will open the Array Configuration dialog. Right clicking a module in an Array will open a menu with options to Insert Item Above, Insert Item Below, Unassign, or Remove Array Item.
  • Page 14 Double clicking a module will open the Diagnostics Window for that module. For online networked NTX Series Modules, it is possible to run a driver test on individual drivers, a group of drivers, or an auto sequence of each driver ending with a full range test.

All other NTX Series modules in that Array will automatically be configured to receive the Dante audio signal from that source. Analog back up is...
  • Page 16 Selecting Analog The only option for an analog configuration for a NTX Series system is to select analog from the Mode pull down. This changes each input assignment to the XLR Input/Thru connections per module. Selecting Dante Select which Dante source you want to use then choose which Dante channel you want the Array to receive signal.
