Step 2: Controls
(1) CONNECTION LED – Lights to indicated
successful connection to a StageConnect
network.
(2) INPUTS/OUTPUTS – Connect line-level
inputs and/or outputs to these jacks. Note
that inputs do not have microphone preamps,
and therefore any microphones should rst be
connected to preamplier before connection
to a DN4816-I or DN4888 unit.
(3) POWER LED – Lights whenever power is
received from an external adapter or via
StageConnect bus.
(4) POWER – Connect the included 12 VDC / 30 W
power supply for any units that cannot be
powered via StageConnect bus.
(5) USB – Allows connection to a computer for
rmware updates.
(6) ULTRANET – Allows connection to Ultranet
receivers such as P16 monitors and iQ speakers
via Cat5e cable. The rst output connector
always carries StageConnect channels 1-16,
whereas the second connector varies by
model:
• DN4888 – Outputs the 8 onboard analog
input signals
• DN4816-O – Accepts 16 channels from
another Ultranet device.
• DN4816-I – Outputs the 16 onboard
analog input signals.
(7) SLAVE – Connects to a Master unit or chain of
other Slave devices, and potentially receives
18 W of bus power.
(8) MASTER – Connects to other units in a chain,
either as the Master unit or as a Slave linking
to other Slave units. If a power adapter is
connected, this connection can also send 18 W
to other units.
(9) SYNCHRONISATION – Selects whether a unit
will operate as a Slave or Master, as well as
other congurations.
• DN4888 – Slave mode can operate as
8x8 or 16x8
• DN4816-O – Unit can sync with Ultranet
input instead of StageConnect network
• DN4816-I – Select Slave or Master mode
(10) OUTPUT MODE – Selects between Shared
and Individual mode of output channels.
(11) SLAVE CONFIGURATION – Changes the
StageConnect bus conguration.
The StageConnect Manifesto
1. There is always one Master device and up to
11 Slave devices in a StageConnect chain.
2. The Master is always the rst device
in the chain.
3. The StageConnect chain starts at an XLR
male connector and ends with an XLR
female connector.*
4. Audio can only be transferred between
Master and Slaves but not between Slaves
and other Slaves.
5. Audio outputs always come from the Master.
6. Audio inputs are always sent straight to
the Master.
7. The Master congures the StageConnect bus.
8. The rst Slave unit after the Master has the
highest priority.
9. Changes in the chain shall not be done
on the run.**
*Just like a microphone connected to an
analog input.
**This will interrupt audio for 2 seconds, while the
bus is recongured.
