Hear Back PRO User Guide
WAVES SOUNDGRID CARD
Allows HBPRO Hub to
communicate with any pro audio
equipment that uses Waves
SoundGrid. Our partnership with
Waves makes it easy to directly connect the Hear Back PRO
system to other high-end audio equipment (including directly
out of a PC or Mac using only its Ethernet port).
• Connects 16 channels of simultaneous audio input and
output with other SoundGrid enabled equipment using a
standard Ethernet network connection
• Supports sampling rates of 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, and
96kHz
• (2) cards can be populated per Hub to allow A/B input/clock
switching between (2) banks of 16 channels with FW V2 or
32 channels with FW V5
• Up to (4) cards can be populated to allow A/B input
switching as well as a second set of dedicated SoundGrid
outputs
ANALOG CARD
Allows HBPRO Hub to
communicate with any professional
analog audio equipment. Provides
(8) balanced audio inputs using a
standard Tascam DA-88-style pin-out on a DB25 connector.
A DB25 to 1/4-inch TRS break-out cable is sold separately,
unless the Analog input card is purchased as part of the Hear
Back PRO Four Pack.
• -10dB pad on each channel allows the user to select +8dB
or +18dB maximum input sensitivity level
• Custom input sensitivities available up to +34dB upon
special request
• User configurable sampling rates of 44.1kHz, 48kHz,
88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz, and 192kHz using jumpers
• (2) analog input cards are required to input 16 channels of
audio
• Up to (4) cards can be populated per Hub to allow A/B input/
clock switching between (2) banks of 16 channels with FW
V2 or 32 channels with FW V5
NETWORK CARD
Provides (8) RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet
ports for connecting Hear Back
PRO Mixers, PRO Mixer Distros,
or other Hear Back PRO Hubs.
Each port provides PoE+ power and digital audio over a single
CAT6 Ethernet cable that can be run up to 566 feet.
Up to (4) Network Cards can be populated per single PRO
Hub. Also available as “stand alone” in the PRONET Mixer
Distro Box.
VIRTUAL MIXER CARD
All the features of the HBPRO
Mixer slimmed down into a card
format. Control via the new Hear
Back PRO iOS App or from
another PRO Mixer. Features an auxiliary 1/8” Stereo
Unbalanced Audio Input and XLR Balanced Left and Right
outputs. Also works great for receiving or sending intercom
audio in a studio control room.
ADAT CARD
Allows HBPRO Hub to communicate
with audio equipment via ADAT
protocol.
• Simultaneously sends and
receives
16 channels of digital audio
• Backwards compatible with the OCTO and original 8-channel
Hear Back systems
• (2) optical ADAT TOS-Link inputs, (2) optical ADAT TOS-Link
outputs, and (2) RJ45 HearBus outputs (for connecting to the
original Hear Back system)
• Supports and automatically locks on to sampling rates of
44.1kHz and 48kHz
• Automatic sampling rate down-conversion is applied on the
ADAT and HearBus outputs when the system is running at
sampling rates over 48kHz
• (2) cards can be populated per Hub to allow A/B input
switching between (2) banks of 16 channels with FW V2 or
32 channels with FW V5
• Up to (4) cards can be populated to allow A/B input/clock
switching as well as a second set of dedicated ADAT outputs
AES/EBU CARD
Allows HBPRO Hub to communicate
with pro audio equipment using
multi-channel AES/EBU protocol.
• Tascam DA-88-style pin-out on
a DB-25 connector for inputting or outputting 16 channels of
digital audio
• Jumper settings allow the user to choose whether the card is
16 inputs or 16 outputs
• Supports and automatically locks onto sampling rates of
44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz, and 192kHz
• DB25 to (8) XLR (each AES/EBU XLR connector supports 2
channels of digital audio) break-out cable is sold separately,
unless the AES/EBU card is purchased as part of the Hear
Back PRO Four Pack
• (2) cards can be populated per Hub to allow A/B input
switching between (2) banks of 16 channels with FW V2 or
32 channels with FW V5
• Up to (4) cards can be populated to allow A/B input/clock
switching as well as dedicated AES/EBU outputs
DANTE CARD
Allows HBPRO Hub to communicate
with any audio equipment using
Dante protocol.
• Connects 16 channels of
simultaneous audio input and output with other Dante-
enabled equipment using a standard Ethernet network
connection
• Supports sampling rates of 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz,
176.4kHz, and 192kHz
• (2) cards can be populated per Hub to allow A/B input
switching between (2) banks of 16 channels with FW V2 or
32 channels with FW V5
• Up to (4) cards can be populated to allow A/B input/clock
switching as well as a second set of dedicated Dante outputs
HUB I/O CARDS
The modular Hub consists of four card slots, which can be populated with any configuration of input and/or output cards to fit your needs.
