Independent Network Audio Outputs
If your amplifier has a network audio card fitted (Dante) then, as well as being able to route
four channels of audio from the network, it is possible to route four channels of audio back
onto the network.
This feature is primarily intended for use with the DNA Series or MC
2
Delta Series Non-DSP
models, all of which may also be fitted with a network audio interface, allowing them to
utilise the additional processing channels in your DPA amplifier via connection with a single
Ethernet cable.
Working like this, the network audio outputs would be routed directly from the end of the
auxiliary output processing, so that they are just a copy of the signals available at the Aux XLR
outputs 1-4 (choice #3 in the above diagram).
However, there are other circumstances where it might be more useful to route these outputs
from elsewhere within the DSP processing. For example, if the network outputs are being
used to also “break-in” analogue or AES channels, for use with other amplifiers, it might be
more applicable to route the audio from the outputs of
input processing channels (choice #4).
If it’s required for the network outputs to break in channels that are not being used by the
local processing, this can also be achieved by using the outputs of the mix matrix which feed
the auxiliary output processing (choice #6).
Alternately, the mixes being used by the power amp processing can be selected (choice #5)
and finally, the pre-mute final output of the auxiliary channels’ processing may be selected
(choice #3) to prevent muting the local aux outputs from muting the network feeds.
Note that these routing selections work on a “x4” basis — all four network output feeds are
selected from one of the above choices as a group — they cannot be individually assigned to
different points.
For more information on selecting the network audio output routing, please see the section
on page 39.
