    2 x Balanced Audio outputs *Note: The unDIO2x2 has a label on one of the mounting flanges that shows the last 6 digits of the MAC address. This is important for initial device identification as these digits make up part of the devices default network name that is shown when the device is detected by Dante Controller.
  • Page 7: Mounting

    2.1 – Mounting Installation of the unDIO2x2 is very straight forward. It is recommended that the unit be secured to a flat surface with a screw through each mounting flange. Dimensions for mounting are show in the Figure 2 below. Use a No. 6 screw of a type and size that is applicable to the surface to which the unDIO2x2 will be attached.

    2.2.1 – Input from an Unbalanced Source To connect a 2-wire unbalanced source to the unDIO2x2, connect the positive output of the unbalanced source to the positive input of the unDIO2x2. Connect both the source and unDIO2x2 input grounds together, and short the negative input of the unDIO2x2 to ground at the input of the unDIO2x2.

    2.2.4 – Output to an Unbalanced Destination To connect the unDIO2x2 outputs to a 2-wire unbalanced input, connect the positive output to the destination’s positive input and connect the grounds together through the cable shield. Leave the unDIO2x2 negative output floating.
  • Page 10: Device Configuration

    **************************************************************************************************************************** In order to configure an unDIO2x2 both to set up its internal parameters and also setup audio routing, the PC will need to be able to communicate with it over the network. While all Dante devices will be discovered regardless of the IP address setup on the PC, communication can only occur if the PC and the device have compatible IP addresses.
