MDA4-6kDM MDA4-4kDM Source The MDA-KDM series power amplifiers support analog, digital, and Dante signal inputs. They also support the input source hot backup function, allowing users to specify backup signals for the primary source. When the AUTOSWITCH function is enabled (“ON”), the amplifier detects any signal loss on the primary (first) source, due for example to a cable disconnection, and automatically switches to one of the backup sources, following the priority set by the user. -

Digital Power Amplifier MDA-KDM Series Routing The MDA-KDM series MDA4-X power amplifiers have a 4x4 input/output routing matrix, (the MDA2-8KDM, that has a 2x2 input/output routing matrix), Allowing users to mixing the signal, with a suitable level, any input signal into one or more output channels. The mixing level can be adjusted within the range (0...-30dB). -

Appendix 3 DANTE Setup All MARANI MDA-KDM Series amplifiers feature a Dante card which can be set up to send and receive audio on a Dante network. This type of connection utilities standard IP networks to transmit high-quality, uncompressed audio. - Page 52 MARANI MDA-KDM Series amplifiers connected to the Dante network will automatically obtain IP addresses by default, and in most circumstances, there is no need to change the address settings.
- Page 53 Given in example MARANI DEVICE as unit to route.. Double click the MARANI DEVICE, Will show the window as below: you can see the small green speaker indicating that the signal from the MARANI DEVICE is entering the DANTE board.
