Back Panel
④ Power Supply Connector
Threaded connector secures to the PS CU power supply.
⑤ Chain outputs
Two RJ45 jacks are available for connecting the discussion
units, forming the DCS-LAN. The DCS-LAN chain safely
carries digital audio, control data, and power over the same
cable. The CU operates a single mix from the two separate
discussion unit chains, enabling more flexible installations
and system connections.
Important: Only connect DDS 5900 discussion units to this output.
⑥ Control Connector (LAN)
The RJ45 connector allows access to the built-in web
application from a computer, or for connection to a control
system like AMX or Crestron

⑦ Audio Outputs
Four balanced, male XLR connectors for connection to
PA systems, audio mixers, audio recorders, or a language
distribution system.

③ Power Button
The power button turns on or off the central unit. All
connected discussion units and power supplies will
automatically power on or off with the CU.
• Green = powered on
• Red = powered off but connected to power supply
• Off = no power supply is connected to the CU
Note: System settings are stored and persist through a power cycle.
⑧ Audio Input
One balanced, female XLR connector for adding external
audio equipment to the DDS 5900 system, such as a
wireless microphone, a teleconferencing system, or
processed audio signals. Input gain and volume are adjust
from the CU front-panel or web application.
⑨ Emergency Audio Input and Switch Connector
One balanced, male XLR connector for the input of an
emergency evacuation message (EEM). A terminal block
connects a normally open switch. When the switch is
closed, the audio signal on the 'In 2' connector is distributed
to all output channels, overriding all other audio inputs.
Note: There is no volume control available for setting the volume on 'In 2'. The
volume has to be set at the equipment generating the "Emergency Evacuation
Message (EEM)" audio signal.
